Giants Reaffirm Russell Wilson for Week 2 as Jaxson Dart Waits in QB2 Role

The stance reflects a development plan influenced by left tackle Andrew Thomas being listed as doubtful.

Overview

  • ESPN reports the organization has no sense of urgency to bench Wilson, preferring patience as the rookie develops.
  • Coach Brian Daboll confirmed Wilson will start against Dallas, with first-round pick Dart officially slotted as the No. 2 quarterback.
  • Dart said he is ready whenever called after a week of scout-team work and extra walkthroughs, though he downplayed talk of a specific play package.
  • Multiple outlets say the Cowboys loosely prepared for potential Dart snaps, even as the Giants emphasize Wilson-first planning.
  • After earlier restrictions, the Giants allowed Dart and Jameis Winston to speak with reporters, highlighting a shift in media access.
