Overview

  • Brian Daboll declined to name the backup to Russell Wilson for Sunday at Washington, saying the decision will be announced on game day.
  • Depth-chart details remain guarded at other positions, with right guard (Greg Van Roten vs. Evan Neal) and CB2 (Deonte Banks vs. Cor’Dale Flott) still unconfirmed.
  • Rookie Jaxson Dart boosted his case with a standout preseason of roughly 372 passing yards and three touchdowns, heightening interest in his early-season role.
  • New York’s defense was overhauled with No. 3 pick Abdul Carter and veterans Paulson Adebo and Jevon Holland, a trio that impressed throughout the summer.
  • Key opener notes: Malik Nabers says he is ready after precautionary rest, Andrew Thomas’ status is uncertain, and FanDuel lists the Giants as 6.5-point underdogs at Washington.
