"There is "no sense of urgency" in the New York Giants organization to bench Russell Wilson and start rookie Jaxson Dart, sources told ESPN. It doesn't mean a change can't come soon at the quarterback position, but the Giants would prefer that it not happen anytime soon, according to sources. New York would prefer to continue be patient, let Wilson play well and give Dart the time he needs to develop, sources said. The continued absence of left tackle Andrew Thomas also does not make it easier for the Giants to speed up their timeline to play Dart."
"After initially being noncommittal on the topic, Giants coach Brian Daboll confirmed Monday that Wilson would remain the starter for Week 2. Dart, who was listed as the No. 2 quarterback against Washington, worked primarily as New York's scout team quarterback at practice this week, pretending to be Dallas' Dak Prescott. "I'm just preparing for whatever chance I get," Dart said Friday. "So there is not a specific game plan or something like that. It's me just trying to be prepared and be ready whenever my number is called.""
The New York Giants currently see no urgency to bench Russell Wilson and start rookie Jaxson Dart, opting for patience at the quarterback position. The team prefers to let Wilson play well while giving Dart time to develop. Left tackle Andrew Thomas remains sidelined rehabbing a Lisfranc injury, is listed as doubtful, and is expected to miss another game, which complicates accelerating Dart's timeline. James Hudson III is expected to start in Thomas's place. Coach Brian Daboll confirmed Wilson will remain the Week 2 starter. Dart served as the scout-team quarterback and said he is preparing for any opportunity.
