Giants Turn to Jameis Winston as Mike Kafka Begins Interim Tenure

Reports indicate Winston will start with Jaxson Dart still in concussion protocol.

Overview

  • The Giants fired head coach Brian Daboll after a 2-8 start, with offensive coordinator Mike Kafka named interim head coach.
  • Multiple outlets report Jameis Winston has been elevated over Russell Wilson on the depth chart and is expected to start in Week 11 if Jaxson Dart is not cleared.
  • Dart exited the Week 10 loss to the Bears with a concussion and is considered unlikely to play on Sunday.
  • Green Bay arrives on a two-game skid with strong defensive metrics and recent offensive struggles, setting the context for Kafka’s debut against the Packers.
  • Early betting markets list former Packers and Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy as the initial favorite for the Giants’ permanent job, though no search outcome is set.
