New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart got sandwiched in uncomfortable fashion on Monday. Dart needed to head into the medical tent and ultimately, the locker room against the Los Angeles Rams. Now head coach John Harbaugh went viral over some sideline lip reading.
Which may have revealed how long Dart will be out of action.
This moment got captured involving the first-year Giants coach and a team trainer. The early indication is, Dart will miss up to six weeks.
"Hes gonna be out 4-6 weeks"
Need a lip reading expert to help me out here

Dart got replaced by backup and veteran Jameis Winston. But his injury even got Giants legend Eli Manning to cringe during the “Manningcast” with brother Peyton Manning.
Dart grabbed his knee at first while laying on the ground. He managed to walk off under his own power. But again, he never returned to the game. Rams edge rushers Bryon Young and Josaiah Stewart crashed into the Giants quarterback during New York's first offensive possession.
New York's offense struggled from there. Winston managed to hit a couple of big passes but those drives stalled. Winston entered halftime with throwing 58 yards and one interception.
Dart wasn't the only notable injury inside SoFi Stadium. Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers suffered a leg injury momentarily. But Nabers managed to work his way back into the huddle and rejoined the team before halfime.
Dart got ruled out officially with his left knee injury. He also underwent X-Rays in the locker room. The Giants even made the decision to pull off his uniform and sit him for the rest of the evening.
