"The New York Giants have a package of plays designed for Jaxson Dart in the event that the rookie quarterback plays in Sunday's season opener against the Washington Commanders, a source confirmed to ESPN's Dan Graziano. Dart will be the Giants' backup behind Russell Wilson while veteran Jameis Winston will be listed as the emergency third-string quarterback, the source confirmed to Graziano."
"Dart, however, was listed ahead of Winston when the Giants released their unofficial first depth chart of the regular season Monday. The Giants took Dart, 22, with the 25th overall pick in this year's draft after trading back into the first round to select the former Ole Miss star. Dart took the majority of second-team reps throughout the summer and impressed during preseason games, completing with 32 of 47 passes for 372 yards and three touchdowns with no interceptions while also rushing for a touchdown."
New York has a package of plays designed for rookie Jaxson Dart in case he plays in Sunday's season opener against the Washington Commanders. Dart will serve as the Giants' backup behind starter Russell Wilson, while veteran Jameis Winston is listed as the emergency third-string quarterback. Head coach Brian Daboll did not officially name the backup, but the team's unofficial first regular-season depth chart listed Dart ahead of Winston. Dart was selected 25th overall after the Giants traded back into the first round. He took most second-team reps, finished preseason 32-of-47 for 372 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions, and added a rushing touchdown. Wilson signed a one-year deal, began camp as the starter and established leadership in the quarterback room.
