The NFL announced Friday that New York Giants rookie running back Cam Skattebo and head coach Brian Daboll were fined for violating protocol while quarterback Jaxson Dart was being evaluated for a concussion during the team's Week 6 win over the Philadelphia Eagles.
The Giants haven’t swept the Eagles since 2007. It would be one more early notch in Dart’s belt as he seeks his first road win as a starting quarterback. Naturally, Eagles fans will welcome Dart with their typical disdain to an environment in which the Giants have struggled.
Both Daboll and Skattebo entered the blue medical tent and spoke with quarterback Jaxson Dart while he was being evaluated for a concussion during New York's Week 6 win against the Philadelphia Eagles.

The NFL is expected to fine New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll at least $100,000 for interfering with concussion tests on Jaxson Dart.
