Giants’ QB Competition Tightens After Wilson’s Early Struggles and Dart’s Efficient Reps

Coaches named Wilson Week 1 starter, gauging protection woes alongside Dart’s rapid preseason ascent.

Overview

  • Wilson went 2-for-8 with multiple sacks in early 11-on-11 drills during Tuesday’s Giants-Jets joint practice in Florham Park.
  • He rebounded in a red-zone session by delivering three straight scores to Theo Johnson, Darius Slayton and facilitating a Devin Singletary touchdown.
  • Rookie Jaxson Dart continued to strengthen his case with consistent practice reps and a recent preseason outing of 12 completions on 19 attempts for 154 yards and a touchdown.
  • The absence of Malik Nabers and Andrew Thomas compounded offensive-line breakdowns that disrupted the first-team unit’s performance.
  • Coaches have publicly affirmed Wilson as the Week 1 starter but signaled that Dart’s development and roster health will guide any midseason decision.
