Overview
- Interim head coach Mike Kafka named Jameis Winston the starter for Sunday against the Packers with rookie Jaxson Dart still in concussion protocol.
- Winston moves ahead of Russell Wilson on the depth chart as Kafka reshapes the quarterback plan for the week.
- Kafka will continue calling offensive plays and promoted tight ends coach Tim Kelly to offensive coordinator.
- Defensive coordinator Shane Bowen remains in place as Kafka focuses on minor tweaks and cleaner communication on that side of the ball.
- The 2-8 Giants placed kicker Graham Gano on injured reserve with a herniated disc, and Kafka’s performance over the final seven games will factor into Joe Schoen’s evaluation for the permanent job.
