Following a hard hit in a 34-17 win over the Philadelphia Eagles on Thursday Night Football, New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart was taken to the medical tent for evaluation. But what happened after that has the Giants potentially in hot water.
While Dart was being evaluated in the tent, head coach Brian Daboll came to check on him. Meanwhile, running back Cam Skattebo entered the tent.
That would be in violation of the league’s protocol, which is designed to keep the process completely impartial in the interest of player safety. New York could potentially face repercussions, with the league announcing it has initiated a review of the medical tent procedures as they played out Thursday night.
NBC’s Mike Florio provided more in an update ahead of Sunday Night Football . he explained.
“Well, the NFL is taking this very seriously,” Florio said. “No one is allowed in the tent — coaches, players can’t go in. Running back Cam Skattebo actually went inside during the concussion evaluation of Jaxson Dart. The league called the NFL Players’ Association the next morning to start a joint review.”
That review will look into everything that happened at that point. Florio described the process more in depth.
“There will be interviews of all relevant medical staff, coaches and players,” he said. “And the Giants face a potential fine and also the possibility of the loss of a draft pick depending on how this all shakes out.”
