Dart's preseason finale status uncertain; Harbaugh weighs game reps vs. injury risk before Dallas opener.

Second-year QB learning new Giants offense; head coach John Harbaugh is "waffling" on whether to play Dart in preseason finale vs Jets on Friday. Harbaugh acknowledges the value of game reps before season opener vs Dallas (Sept. 13), noting that Dart and other starters would go from Aug. 15 to Sept. 13 without game action if they don't play Friday. Harbaugh stated: "Playing together in a game, communicating together in a game, those things are valuable things that it's better to have some experience with before you get into the game that counts." The decision hinges on balancing the benefit of game reps against injury risk; Harbaugh also questioned the value of brief work ("six plays, 10 plays") versus extended snaps.
