Overview
- Head coach Brian Daboll reaffirmed Russell Wilson as the Week 1 starter and declined to name Jaxson Dart the No. 2, answering "We'll see" ahead of roster decisions.
- Rookie Jaxson Dart capped a clean preseason at 32-of-47 for 372 yards with three touchdowns, no interceptions and a rushing score, and was cleared after a hard hit in the finale.
- Wilson signaled his readiness after preseason action with a five-word post, "Ready for the Real Thing," as he prepares to open at Washington on Sept. 7.
- Veteran Jameis Winston remains in the plans, leaving Tommy DeVito’s status uncertain before Tuesday’s cutdown, with outlets linking possible interest from teams such as the Raiders and Patriots.
- Analysts including Shannon Sharpe and Jon Gruden praised Dart’s poise and arm, while teammates like Wan’Dale Robinson lauded his command, increasing external pressure even as the Giants stay deliberate.
