New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart said on Tuesday there was “never a doubt” he will play in Thursday night’s home game against the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles.

Dart was listed as a full participant on Tuesday after being a limited participant because of a hamstring issue on the Giants’ injury report on Monday, when the team did not practice so participation is an estimation. Head coach Brian Daboll said earlier Tuesday that Dart will be OK to play in the short week.

“I feel good,” Dart said. “I’m excited.”

The rookie has played in four games, starting the last two with the Giants beating the visiting Los Angeles Chargers 21-18 before losing last Sunday 26-14 at New Orleans. The sore left hamstring was revealed after the Sept. 28 win in his first start, and he played the entire game against the Saints.

Dart has completed 39 of 60 passes (65 percent) for 313 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions. He also has rushed 19 times for 109 yards and one TD.

The Giants selected Dart in the first round (25th overall) of the 2025 NFL Draft out of Ole Miss.

Wide receiver Darius Slayton (hamstring), right tackle Jermaine Eluemunor (back) and linebackers Swayze Bozeman (ankle) and Demetrius Flanningan-Fowles (hamstring) missed practice for the second straight day on Tuesday.

Running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. (shoulder), cornerback Dru Phillips (hip) and safeties Dane Belton (shoulder), Jevon Holland (calf) and Tyler Nubin (groin) were listed as limited participants for the second consecutive day.

The Giants (1-4) host the Eagles (4-1) in East Rutherford, N.J. Philadelphia left guard Landon Dickerson, a three-time Pro Bowl selection, could miss the next couple of games with an ankle injury sustained in Sunday’s loss to the Denver Broncos, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported Tuesday.
