After a disappointing 21-6 loss to the Washington Commanders in Week 1, many believed it was time to end the Russell Wilson era in New York and usher in the Jaxson Dart era.
But that doesn’t seem to be the case and according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, it looks like Russell Wilson has a longer leash than many believe.
New York has “no sense of urgency” to bench quarterback Russell Wilson in favor of Jaxson Dart, according to a Saturday afternoon report from Schefter reports.
“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,” Schefter wrote.
Wilson struggled in the Giants’ opener, completing 17-of-37 passes for 168 yards. He was New York’s leading rusher in the game, churning out 44 yards on eight carries.
Dart played well in the preseason, throwing at least one touchdown in each of the Giants’ three exhibition games. Drafted 25th out of Ole Miss in April, he led FBS in passing efficiency a year ago.
New York is scheduled to play the Cowboys Sunday before returning home for a brutal stretch against the Chiefs and Chargers.
