Quarterback Shake-Up for New York Giants
The New York Giants are making a significant change at the quarterback position for their upcoming Sunday fixture. Jameis Winston is set to start under centre, as the team's primary quarterback, Jaxson Dart, remains in the NFL's concussion protocol.
Wilson's Demotion and Coaching Fallout
This decision delivers another setback for veteran Russell Wilson, who began the season as the starter but has now been relegated to third on the depth chart. The move follows a difficult week for the franchise that saw head coach Brian Daboll fired after a loss to the Bears. In that game, Dart suffered a head injury on a hard hit during a third-quarter fumble. Wilson entered the game but failed to impress.
Kafka's First Major Decision
Offensive coordinator Mike Kafka, who has now taken over head coaching duties, has made his first major personnel call by officially promoting Winston above Wilson. The news was first reported on Tuesday morning by respected NFL insider Adam Schefter, who indicated concerns that Dart's time in the concussion protocol may extend through the weekend.
