What to know

  • Giants QB Jaxson Dart is out for the season after knee surgery for MCL, PCL, and meniscus damage sustained in Week 2.
  • The Giants have narrowed their replacement search to two candidates: Justin Fields (Chiefs backup) and free agent Jimmy Garoppolo.
  • Jameis Winston is starting while the team seeks a QB; the offense must be adjusted away from Dart's mobility-focused scheme.
  • New York won 12-7 against Tennessee in Week 3, showing the team can compete while the QB situation remains unsettled.

“Sources told the outlet that they believe it's a matter of when, not if, New York makes a move to acquire a quarterback, and it could come as soon as Monday.”
