Los Angeles Rams star linebacker Byron Young was a central part of a play that injured New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart<\/a> during Monday night\u2019s game.<\/p>\n

Young was blitzing and went to tackle Dart while he threw the ball. The impact caused Dart to collide with Rams linebacker Josiah Stewart, who was on the other side of Young. Dart\u2019s knee twisted awkwardly upon the collision, which caused an injury and forced him out of the game.<\/p>\n

Byron Young is a class act<\/a> and one of the most respected players in football. He wasted no time expressing his remorse about the Dart injury on social media after Monday\u2019s game.<\/p>\n

Young posted a slow-motion video of the play that caused Dart\u2019s injury and wrote, \u201cNever play to hurt anybody. I pray for a healthy recovery \u201d.<\/p>\n

Thankfully for all involved, Dart appears to have avoided a serious injury<\/a>. Initial exams indicate that he suffered a MCL sprain, which could cause him to miss several games but likely won\u2019t force him to miss significant time. <\/p>\n

Regardless, Young deserves a lot of credit for delivering this heartfelt message, even though nobody assumed he had any malicious intent with the hit on Dart. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Updated Tue, September 22, 2026 at 7:45 PM UTC Los Angeles Rams star linebacker Byron Young was a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1008336,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2079],"tags":[7,1014,58,2444,2611,6,424],"class_list":["post-1008335","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-los-angeles-rams","tag-football","tag-los-angeles","tag-los-angeles-rams","tag-losangeles","tag-losangelesrams","tag-nfl","tag-rams"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/117318844831445839","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1008335","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1008335"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1008335\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1008336"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1008335"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1008335"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1008335"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
