Giants resist benching Russell Wilson, aiming to develop Jaxson Dart while Wilson remains the Week 2 starter. Wilson’s debut produced 168 yards on 17 of 37 with no TD, prompting questions about the QB room’s short-term path. New York leans patient, hoping Wilson improves and Dart grows behind him, even as a left tackle injury adds complexity.

Andrew Thomas' Lisfranc injury keeps him sidelined and James Hudson III in at left tackle, further shaping the Giants’ timeline. Dart has been working as a scout-team look-alike for Dak Prescott, with coach Brian Daboll pledging continuity while the fan discourse grows louder about the rookie’s ceiling.
