Overview

  • Kafka confirmed Winston will start against the Packers, marking his first game activation this season after serving as the emergency third quarterback for 10 games.
  • Dart is in the NFL’s concussion protocol and is out for Week 11, with reporters noting he has undergone multiple concussion evaluations this season.
  • Wilson, who replaced Dart late in the Chicago loss, is the backup for Sunday and said he has not asked for a release and wants to stay with the Giants.
  • The quarterback shuffle follows the team’s dismissal of Daboll and a four-game skid that dropped New York to 2-8 as Kafka begins his interim tenure.
  • Depth-chart roles could change again when Dart returns, with reporting indicating Wilson may shift to the emergency third spot behind Dart and Winston.
