Giants Planning Rookie Jaxson Dart Debut Against Chargers Amid 0-3 Start

The New York Giants have decided to start rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 4, replacing veteran Russell Wilson who has struggled in the first three games of the 2025 season. Dart, the 25th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft from Ole Miss, has yet to attempt a regular-season pass but showed promise in the preseason with a 113.1 passer rating and a strong senior year in college. The Giants, currently 0-3 and last in the NFC East, hope Dart's fresh presence will spark their offense, which has been underperforming despite a strong Week 2 showing. Wilson, a former Super Bowl champion, will serve as the backup, while the Chargers come into the matchup undefeated at 3-0, making them 5.5-point favorites. The Giants' coaching staff has acknowledged the need to evaluate their quarterback situation amid growing fan pressure to make the switch. This move sets up an intriguing Week 6 NFC East clash when the Philadelphia Eagles will face Dart and the Giants at MetLife Stadium.
