Overview

  • Rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart will start Sunday against the Chargers after the Giants benched Russell Wilson.
  • Offensive coordinator Mike Kafka said the staff must do a better job getting Malik Nabers involved after the Chiefs limited him.
  • Nabers’ early-season usage has swung widely, with 5 catches on 12 targets in Week 1, a 9-for-167-yard, 2-TD game in Week 2, and just 2 catches for 13 yards in Week 3.
  • Nabers appeared on the injury report with a shoulder issue, sat out Wednesday’s practice, participated on a limited basis Thursday, and is tracking to play.
  • If Nabers catches a touchdown from Dart in the next two games, he would be the first player since at least 1991 to have TD receptions from five different quarterbacks within his first 20 career games.
