New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart is scheduled to undergo left knee surgery on Friday for a full meniscus repair, along with potential repairs to his MCL and PCL. The recovery timeline is estimated at four to six months, ruling the 23-year-old out for the rest of the regular season, though head coach John Harbaugh did not rule out a potential playoff return.
