Giants Keep Wilson at QB1, Prepare Week 1 Package for Rookie Jaxson Dart

The plan tests the team’s short-term commitment to Russell Wilson against long-term development goals for its first-round pick.

Overview

  • SNY’s Connor Hughes reports the Giants have situational plays ready that could give Jaxson Dart limited snaps in Sunday’s opener against Washington.
  • New York’s first regular-season depth chart lists Russell Wilson as the starter with Dart at QB2 and Jameis Winston sliding to QB3.
  • Dart’s strong preseason showing — 32-of-47 for 372 yards with three passing touchdowns plus a rushing score — has fueled calls for early usage.
  • Analysts warn a sub-package increases injury exposure for the rookie and could intensify quarterback-controversy chatter around Brian Daboll’s staff.
  • Local commentary questions Winston’s reduced role and some outlets float the possibility of a trade, which remains speculative at this stage.
