Overview
- Head coach Brian Daboll informed the quarterbacks that Dart will start against the Chargers, according to multiple national reports.
- Russell Wilson moves to the primary backup role with Jameis Winston remaining third on the depth chart.
- Daboll had said the team was evaluating everything after Sunday’s 22-9 loss to the Chiefs, a game that featured boos and “We want Dart!” chants at MetLife Stadium.
- Dart was selected 25th overall and posted a strong preseason with 372 yards and three touchdown passes without an interception, though he has yet to attempt a regular-season pass.
- The move follows inconsistent play from Wilson and an 0-3 start, intensifying scrutiny on Daboll and the front office as a challenging schedule looms.
