Former Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart made his return Monday night after missing two games in concussion protocol.
He wasted little time in letting everyone know he’s healthy with a run in the first quarter that ended with him taking a big hit from New England’s Christian Ellis. Dart went flying into the Patriots’ bench area, resulting in a small scuffle between the two teams.

Afterwards, Dart said he won’t be changing his play style.
“Look, like, I understand the question, but this is football,” Dart said following the 33-15 loss, via the team’s official transcript. “Like, I’m going to get hit if I’m in the pocket or outside the pocket. I feel like I played this way my whole entire life. It shouldn’t be any shocker to anybody if you followed along with my career. We’re not playing soccer out here. You’re going to get hit. Things happen. It’s just part of the game.”
