Injuries to monitor after Week 10: Jaxson Dart's concussion could give Giants tough choice at backup QB
Posted November 10, 2025
Each week of the NFL season, Yardbarker will be monitoring players who have suffered notable injuries. Here are five we're tracking after Week 10:
New York Giants QB Jaxson Dart
Dart suffered a concussion after taking a brutal hit late in the third quarter of New York's road game against the Chicago Bears. The rookie out of Ole Miss finished 19-of-29 passing for 242 yards and rushed for 66 yards and two touchdowns on 11 carries.

Giants backup QB Russell Wilson replaced an injured Dart. He completed 3-of-7 passes for 45 yards. Without its rookie signal-caller, New York failed to hold off Chicago's 14-point rally in the fourth quarter, losing 24-20.
Following the loss, Giants head coach Brian Daboll didn't commit to Wilson as the starter if Dart can't play in a Week 11 home game against the Green Bay Packers. The Giants also have 10th-year backup QB Jameis Winston.
Neither QB should provide much confidence for the 2-8 Giants. Wilson went 0-3 as a starter before he was benched in favor of Dart in Week 4. Winston, meanwhile, has a career starting record of 36-51.
Los Angeles Rams WR Davante Adams
During the Rams' road game against the San Francisco 49ers, Adams pulled his oblique while running a route in the fourth quarter. He then went to the locker room with a member of the team's training staff. The WR finished with six receptions for 77 yards and one TD catch.
Rams head coach Sean McVay didn't seem too concerned about Adams. Following L.A.'s 42-26 win, the coach said Adams' situation was similar to that of WR Puka Nacua last week. Nacua injured his ribs in a 34-10 Week 9 win over the New Orleans Saints and could've returned had the game been closer. He played in Week 10.
Adams' injury not seeming major is good news for the Rams. The 32-year-old wideout has reminded fans why he's still one of the top pass-catchers in the league this season. Entering Sunday, he ranked first in the league in touchdown catches, with eight in eight games.
New York Jets WR Garrett Wilson
Wilson limped off the field late in the third quarter of New York's home game against the Cleveland Browns. He suffered the injury while battling with two defenders for the ball.
After the Jets' 27-20 win, head coach Aaron Glenn confirmed that Wilson re-injured his right knee. The WR previously hyperextended this knee in a 13-11 Week 6 loss to the Denver Broncos, which forced him to miss Weeks 7 and 8.
Wilson missing more time would be costly for a Jets offense that ranked last in the league in passing yards (143.8) through the first nine weeks of the season. He's one of the few reliable weapons on the unit. Entering Sunday, he had logged 36 receptions for 395 yards and four TD catches in six games.
Minnesota Vikings LB Jonathan Greenard
In the third quarter of Minnesota's home game against the Baltimore Ravens, Greenard injured his left shoulder while chasing QB Lamar Jackson. He briefly remained on the ground before walking to the medical tent and exiting.
Following Minnesota's 27-19 loss, head coach Kevin O'Connell provided little detail about the injury. The coach said the LB would have his shoulder examined on Sunday and Monday and would provide an update once he had that information.
Greenard is a key piece for Minnesota's defense. Pro Football Focus credited him with 33 pressures in his first eight games, tied for the 16th most in the league.
Without him, the Vikings struggled to pressure Jackson. The two-time league MVP took just one sack against Minnesota.
Buffalo Bills TE Dalton Kincaid
Kincaid was ruled out because of a hamstring injury in the second half of Buffalo's 30-13 road loss to the Miami Dolphins. The third-year TE out of Utah had two receptions for 37 yards.
Hamstring injuries can last anywhere from a week to multiple weeks, depending on the severity of the strain. The Bills hope it's a mild hamstring injury for Kincaid, who has been their No. 1 option in the passing game this season.
Entering Sunday, the TE led the team in receiving yards (411). Without him, the Bills' air attack lacks firepower, especially after general manager Brandon Beane didn't add another pass-catcher before the trade deadline passed.
Tua Tagovailoa finally admitted what Dolphins fans have been screaming for years
There are two different Tua Tagovailoas on the Miami Dolphins roster. There is the guy who can't get out of his own head, and the one who beat the brakes off the Buffalo Bills on Sunday.
After the game that sent a huge Bill's crowd home in tears from Hard Rock Stadium, Tagovailoa stood at the podium to talk about one of his biggest wins of his career
. Yes, beating the Bills is a big deal. Despite throwing two interceptions, Tagovailoa made it clear why he played the way he did.
"Doing more is not what is going to make me better, just do what I need to do and play calm,"
Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa finally admits that he is own worst enemy on a football field
Dolphins fans have been saying for years that Tagovailoa is at his worst when he tries too hard to make things happen. He isn't built like that. Not many quarterbacks are. Too many things need to work in his favor for him to be marginally good when under pressure to win.
It isn't disrespectful to say that Tagovailoa isn't a consistently good quarterback. He isn't good most of the time. Some flashes drop out of the sky and burn out before they hit the ground. Like the fireworks that come out of nowhere, so do his good games.
What Tagovailoa realized, however, is that he tries too hard to overcome those things he doesn't do well. He isn't mobile, so why run the ball? He can't throw consistently deep, so why force it? He can't make more than two reads in a single dropback, so why push the envelope?
Tagovailoa does try too much, and when he does, he tends to fail. We saw this against the Ravens last Thursday. When the Dolphins needed him to come through, he couldn't handle the pressure he was shouldering.
Like most quarterbacks, Tagovailoa is better when he is not under pressure late in a game. For Tagovailoa, being under pressure is conducive to making mistakes, rather than playing with the calmness that eliminates them.
The Bills were never really in the game thanks to a fantastic Anthony Weaver game plan that the entire defense bought into. Offensively, Miami ran the ball down their throats with De'Von Achane. All Tagovailoa had to do was remain calm, like he said, and try not to do more than he is capable of doing.
Chastised earlier in the season for saying he can't do the things that Josh Allen and other quarterbacks can do, Tagovailoa finally did what he is capable of doing. He made smart plays and didn't put the team in a position to lose by forcing throws that would be more costly than what essentially became punts.
