Jaxson Dart’s injury left Eli Manning visibly shaken.
The troubling knee injury sustained by the Giants quarterback during the Monday Night Football showdown against the Rams unfolded live on ESPN’s ManningCast, leaving the Big Blue legend stunned.
In the immediate aftermath, Dart’s older brother showed no visible reaction.
“Oh no. Oh no. No, no, no, no, no,” exclaimed Peyton Manning, the older brother and co‑host. “That’s not what we want to see. Goodness!”
He then let out a sigh, followed by a “Come on.”
Meanwhile, Eli stared blankly at the screen, his expression one of shock.
He occasionally glanced down at his hands.
During the replay, both brothers winced as Dart appeared to absorb blows to his upper and lower body while the offensive line collapsed.
“I think it’s a high‑low hit, Peyton,” Eli remarked. “It’s tough to watch. I hate seeing that. I hope he’s alright.”
Initial reports indicate Dart suffered a sprained MCL.
He is scheduled for an MRI on Tuesday after X‑rays showed no fracture.
The Giants ultimately fell 28‑6 at SoFi Stadium, with backup quarterback Jameis Winston struggling severely.
Winston completed 11 of 27 passes for 111 yards, throwing one interception.
His performance yielded a dismal 37.7 quarterback rating.
New York will need to regroup and devise a new game plan before hosting the Titans in Week 3.
