Giants To Start Rookie Jaxson Dart

The New York Giants have named rookie Jaxson Dart their starter for Sunday’s Week 4 game against the Los Angeles Chargers, coach Brian Daboll told both Dart and veteran Russell Wilson after reports by Ian Rapoport and Adam Schefter confirmed the move. The switch follows an 0-3 start and a 22-9 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in which Wilson threw two interceptions, including one in the end zone, and was booed by fans. Dart, the Giants’ first‑round pick who impressed in the preseason and has had limited regular‑season snaps, will see his role expanded as the team deploys his package. The decision increases pressure on Daboll and general manager Joe Schoen amid a difficult early schedule and has prompted debate over starting a rookie against a top Chargers defense.
