Jaxson Dart’s injury had Eli Manning in a scared place.
The worrisome knee injury for the Giants quarterback during the “Monday Night Football” matchup against the Rams unfolded live on ESPN’s “ManningCast” and the Big Blue legend was left stunned.
In the immediate aftermath, the younger Manning brother did not react.
“Oh no. Oh no. No, no, no, no, no,” older brother and co-host Peyton Maning said. “That is not what we want to see. Gosh!”
He then let out a sigh followed by a “Come on.”
Meanwhile, Eli was in a trance, staring at the screen with a stunned look.
He also occasionally looked down at his hands.
Both brothers grimaced during the replay as Dart appeared to take a hit both on his upper body and lower body during the play as his offensive line collapsed.
“I think it’s high-low a little bit, Peyton,” Eli said. “Oh, tough to watch. Hate to see that. Hopefully he’s okay.”
The second-year quarterback has reportedly suffered a sprained MCL based on initial examinations.
Dart is set to undergo an MRI exam on Tuesday after X-Rays came back negative.
The Giants went on to lose 28-6 at SoFi Stadium as backup quarterback Jameis Winston struggled mightily.
Winston went 11 for 27 for 111 yards with an interception.
He fell apart for the Giants with a brutal 37.7 QB rating.
The Giants will be tasked to regroup with a new game plan ahead of Week 3 against the Titans at home.
