What to know about concussions and recovery time
According to the Cleveland Clinic, concussions are common injuries, especially among young athletes. Noting that most people recover without long-term effects, Cleveland Clinic warned that recovery should not be rushed. They advised resuming physical and other activities only after the healthcare provider notes it is safe.
Technically, a concussion is a head injury that takes place when one's brain moves or twists inside the skull, as per Cleveland Clinic. They are a type of traumatic brain injury. Cleveland Clinic also noted that concussions can last a few weeks up to a month, and rest is very important initially. It also noted that different people have different recovery times, so it remains to be seen if Dart is back for the next Giants game, where they take on Green Bay Packers.
