US EditionN.Y. Giants to Bench Russell Wilson, Start QB Jaxson Dart vs. Chargers
Giants bench Wilson after three losses; rookie Dart will start against undefeated Chargers, aiming to revive offense in a 0-3 season start, coach Daboll said.
- The New York Giants will start rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart in their upcoming home game on Sunday, September 28, facing the Los Angeles Chargers, who remain unbeaten this season.
- The decision came after the Giants were defeated 22-9 by Kansas City in Week 3 and following Coach Brian Daboll's reluctance to name veteran Russell Wilson as the starting quarterback.
- Dart, the 25th overall pick in the 2025 draft, served as Wilson’s backup for three games and was given limited snaps while the team evaluated its quarterback options.
- Coach Daboll stated on Monday, “We wouldn’t put anybody in a game we don’t feel confident with,” and fans chanted “We want Dart!” during Wilson’s struggles.
- This quarterback switch highlights the Giants' search for progress after starting 0-3 and suggests Dart is in line to be the team’s long-term solution this season.
