Overview
- The league levied $315,000 in penalties: $200,000 to the Giants, $100,000 to head coach Brian Daboll, and $15,000 to running back Cam Skattebo.
- The fines stem from an Oct. 9 game in which Daboll and Skattebo entered the blue medical tent and spoke with quarterback Jaxson Dart before his concussion evaluation was complete.
- Investigators concluded their presence created a perception of interference but did not affect Dart’s exam or the care he received.
- Concussion protocol permits only essential medical personnel in the tent, and the Giants have instituted added training and stricter tent-access controls.
- Dart was briefly replaced during the evaluation, was cleared to return, and finished the game, and Daboll later apologized to the team physician.
