Overview

• New York has installed a specific set of plays for Dart for today’s opener at Washington, with usage dependent on game flow and Russell Wilson’s performance.
• An unofficial depth chart lists Dart as the primary backup, with Jameis Winston as the emergency third quarterback, allowing the rookie to enter and exit under standard game-day rules.
• Dart completed 32 of 47 passes for 372 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions in the preseason, and coaches put him through high‑leverage practice tests.
• Brian Daboll named Wilson the starter in July, and Washington prepared for both quarterbacks this week as the Giants tightened access to their backups.
• Coaches and teammates say Dart can handle the moment, and multiple reports indicate Wilson’s hold on the job could be influenced by early‑season results.
