When the New York Giants meet the Dallas Cowboys in their Sept. 13 season-opener, quarterback Jaxson Dart will not have faced live competition in 29 days. Dart played briefly in the preseason opener against the Minnesota Vikings, but has not played since. Head coach John Harbaugh considered having Dart play Friday against the New York Jets, but decided that playing the second-year quarterback was 'not worth the risk.'

Dart enters season opener with 29-day layoff; Harbaugh deemed preseason game too risky.

Jaxson Dart will enter the Sept. 13 season-opener against Dallas without live competition in 29 days; he played briefly in the preseason opener vs. Minnesota but has not played since. Head coach John Harbaugh decided not to play the second-year quarterback Friday vs. the Jets, deeming it 'not worth the risk.' Harbaugh acknowledged the rust concern: 'I think there is a concern, and the concern is that they won't have played in a game for a long time. So, will there be a rust factor, those kinds of things.' The conservative approach prioritized injury avoidance over game reps, as playing Dart would have required other frontline players to also see action.
