Giants Name Jameis Winston Week 11 Starter as Jaxson Dart Remains in Concussion Protocol

Interim coach Mike Kafka elevated the veteran over Russell Wilson for Green Bay.

Overview

  • Kafka said Dart remains in the NFL concussion protocol and will not play Sunday against the Packers.
  • After spending the first 10 games as the emergency third quarterback, Winston will be active and start for the first time this season.
  • Wilson was designated the backup for Week 11 and would move back to QB3 when Dart is cleared, according to Kafka.
  • Wilson told reporters he has not asked for a release and wants to stay with the Giants despite the demotion.
  • The quarterback shift comes days after Brian Daboll was fired, with Kafka now leading a 2-8 team searching for short-term stability.
