What to know

  • Jaxson Dart suffered a severe knee injury in Week 2 against the Rams and faces a lengthy absence, potentially for the remainder of the season.
  • Jameis Winston, who signed a $13 million extension in September, is expected to take over as the Giants' starting quarterback.
  • The Giants are considering Jake Haener (on practice squad) and Brandon Allen as backup options while rebuilding their QB depth chart.

“Initial reports indicated that the 23-year-old had suffered an MCL sprain and was estimated to miss a few weeks. However, subsequent X-rays and tests have revealed a more serious injury, sidelining Dart indefinitely.”

    Giants turn to Winston as starter; consider backup depth

    With Dart out, backup Jameis Winston — who struggled in relief during Monday night's game — is expected to become the starter. The team has Jake Haener on the practice squad and could bring back Brandon Allen as additional quarterback depth.

    “With Jaxson Dart out a while, the #Giants have Jake Haener on their practice squad and could bring back Brandon Allen. But the season is now in the hands of Jameis Winston, who signed a two-year, $13 million extension earlier this month.”
