Giants Preparing Quarterback Jaxson Dart for First NFL Start Against Chargers
Rookie Jaxson Dart replaces Russell Wilson after Wilson’s 0-3 start with no touchdowns and two interceptions, prompting concerns over Giants’ early season struggles.
- With the Giants 0-3, Brian Daboll announced rookie Jaxson Dart will start in Week 4, benching Russell Wilson after three games.
- Wilson's decline followed an injury-riddled 2021 season and a trade out of Seattle in 2022 after a forced departure, with inconsistent performances raising concerns about his consistency.
- Through three games, Russell Wilson completed 59.1% of passes for 778 yards, three touchdowns and three interceptions; Brian Daboll said, `He just needs to go out there and do his job: just make good decisions`.
- The decision makes Wilson a backup as Brian Daboll said Wilson `is going to be the backup` for the season, while trade speculation grows with Jaxson Dart seen as the future.
- Despite the benching, Russell Wilson’s Seattle-era résumé includes two Super Bowl appearances, one title and a 98-45-1 record from 2012-20, with a 94.26 Pro Football Reference metric ranking 18th all time.
