Overview

  • Interim coach Mike Kafka moved Jameis Winston ahead of Russell Wilson on the New York Giants' quarterback depth chart.
  • Rookie Jaxson Dart is in the NFL concussion protocol after the Chicago game, his fourth evaluation for a head injury this season.
  • If Dart is not cleared to face the Green Bay Packers on Sunday, multiple reports citing NFL Media say Winston is expected to start.
  • Winston has been inactive as the emergency third quarterback all season and last started for the 2024 Browns, throwing for 2,121 yards with 13 touchdowns and 12 interceptions.
  • Wilson relieved Dart against the Bears and went 3 of 7 for 45 yards with two sacks, and the Giants have lost all three of his starts this year.
