"Jameis Winston entered last Sunday as the New York Giants' No. 3 quarterback. This week, he appears to be set to make his first start of the season. Winston has been moved ahead of fellow veteran quarterback Russell Wilson on the Giants' depth chart, according to multiple media outlets. The move puts Winston in line for what appears to be a likely start Sunday against the Green Bay Packers as regular starter Jaxson Dart remains in concussion protocol."
"A 10-time Pro Bowl selection and a Super Bowl champion with the Seattle Seahawks, Wilson started 11 games for the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2024, his 13th NFL season. He was signed during the offseason by the Giants to be their 2025 starting quarterback. Winston was signed to be Wilson's backup. In his previous 10 NFL seasons, Winston had gone 36-51 as the starting quarterback for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, New Orleans Saints and Cleveland Browns, with 154 touchdowns and 111 interceptions."
"In April, the Giants traded up nine spots in the draft to select Dart with the No. 25 overall pick. The rookie out of Mississippi ended up earning the No. 2 quarterback spot. But Wilson was largely ineffective during the Giants' 0-3 start, and Dart was promoted to starting quarterback in Week 4. Dart helped spark the Giants to wins over the Chargers and the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles in his two of his first three starts."
Interim coach Mike Kafka moved Jameis Winston ahead of Russell Wilson on the New York Giants' quarterback depth chart following Brian Daboll's firing. Winston, who entered last Sunday as the No. 3 quarterback, is poised to start Sunday against the Green Bay Packers if rookie Jaxson Dart remains in concussion protocol. Russell Wilson was signed as the 2025 starter after starting 11 games for the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2024. Winston was signed as Wilson's backup and owns a 36-51 starting record with 154 touchdowns and 111 interceptions. Dart, the No. 25 pick, earned the No. 2 spot and helped spark wins over the Chargers and Eagles.
