Giants' GM's initial Jaxson Dart injury comments infuriate fans after latest news

The news on Jaxson Dart’s knee injury isn’t good — it’s worse than initial reports said it was and it’s possible that the New York Giants quarterback could be out for a while and potentially the rest of the season.

Giants fans are stunned, and they’re especially not happy with general manager Joe Schoen, who told ESPN’s Laura Rutledge on Monday night after the injury that “he’s going to be OK.”

Well, he is eventually going to be OK. But maybe hearing the GM say that he was going to be “OK” meant it was a relatively minor knee injury that might knock him out for a few weeks.

Here’s a roundup of the reaction on Tuesday after the news broke:

Yikes. That backfired for a fanbase that’s already having a rough time of it.
