Overview

• Dart is 26-for-35 for 291 yards with two passing touchdowns, zero interceptions and a rushing score across his first two preseason appearances.
• In Saturday’s 31-12 victory over the Jets, the rookie finished by connecting on his final 13 throws to seven different receivers, including a 30-yard sidearm pass to Theo Johnson.
• Head coach Brian Daboll reiterated that Russell Wilson remains the Week 1 starter and outlined a deliberate plan to develop Dart as the primary backup.
• Offensive consistency has been hindered by receiver Malik Nabers’s continued absence, and his availability for the preseason finale is still unknown.
• The first-team defense generated constant pressure on Justin Fields but allowed 141 rushing yards, highlighting a need to shore up the run defense before the regular season.
