Giants Bench Russell Wilson, Name Rookie Jaxson Dart Week 4 Starter vs. Chargers

The accelerated move heightens pressure on Brian Daboll as a daunting schedule looms.

Overview

  • Brian Daboll informed both quarterbacks Tuesday of the change after saying the team was "evaluating everything," according to multiple reports.
  • Russell Wilson has guided an 0-3 start, including a 22-9 loss to the Chiefs in which he went 18-of-32 for 160 yards with two interceptions and a 43.8 passer rating.
  • First-round pick Jaxson Dart has logged six regular-season snaps without a pass attempt, following a preseason in which he went 32-of-47 for 372 yards and three touchdowns.
  • Wilson is expected to serve as Dart’s backup against 3-0 Los Angeles, with Jameis Winston remaining third on the depth chart.
  • Fan calls for Dart grew at MetLife Stadium, and the shift intensifies scrutiny on the Giants’ leadership with a tough run of opponents ahead.
