Giants Choose Winston as Starter Against Packers
In a significant roster decision, the New York Giants will start quarterback Jameis Winston against the Green Bay Packers this Sunday. This move comes after rookie Jaxson Dart suffered a concussion during last week’s game against the Chicago Bears.
Quarterback Switch: Winston Takes the Helm
Sources, including ESPN’s Adam Schefter and Jordan Raanan, confirmed that Winston will take over the starting position. The Giants had initially relied on Russell Wilson and Dart, who stepped in after Week 1. However, Dart’s injury has prompted the team to make this change.
Dart’s Concussion Impact
During the game against the Bears, Dart incurred a serious injury. He took a hit while attempting to recover a fumble. His head made contact with the ground, and he momentarily struggled to get up. Despite returning for a brief period, he exited for evaluation and did not return to the field.
Winston’s Background with the Giants
- Jameis Winston signed a two-year contract worth $8 million with the Giants in the offseason.
- This will be Winston’s first game since Week 15 of the last season, when he played for the Cleveland Browns.
- He has served as a third-string quarterback this season, following Wilson and Dart.
As the Giants prepare to face the Packers, all eyes will be on Winston. Fans are eager to see how he performs in this pivotal matchup.
