New York Giants coach Brian Daboll wouldn’t commit to Russell Wilson being the team’s starting quarterback in Week 2 following the 21-6 season-opening loss to the Washington Commanders.
Wilson went 17-of-37 passing for 168 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions in the loss. He was especially ineffective under pressure, completing just 2 of 12 passes for 26 yards with two sacks and two scrambles.
“We’re going to get home and look at our game,” Daboll said when asked if he would consider starting Dart next week.
Nothing the Giants coach said afterward seemed to offer any significant clarity either.
The Giants selected Jaxson Dart in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft and after an impressive preseason, Dart moved up the depth chart to being the backup quarterback.
All indications are that Dart’s time is near and it could be as early as Week 2 against the Dallas Cowboys.
