Giants To Start Jaxson Dart In Week 4 Vs Chargers Report

Rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart will make his first NFL start this Sunday in the New York Giants' Week 4 game against the Los Angeles Chargers at MetLife Stadium.

Speaking to the media before Wednesday's practice, coach Brian Daboll said Wilson will serve as the backup to Dart. The change comes as the Giants search for their first win of the season. The Chargers, meanwhile, enter the matchup with an unbeaten 3-0 record.

Dart, the 25th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, has played six total snaps in two games this season. After not appearing in the season opener, the 6-foot-2, 223-pound Dart made his NFL debut a week later with 12:51 left in a game that had the Cowboys leading 20-16. From the Dallas 25, Dart handed the ball off to Cam Skattebo, who broke a 24-yard run. Dart appeared in two more snaps against the Cowboys and three more on Sunday Night Football against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Dart will take over for veteran Russell Wilson, who has led the Giants to an 0-3 record through the first three weeks of the season. Dart, 22, appeared in each of the New York’s last two games, though he has not thrown a pass yet. He ran the ball twice for a total of zero yards on designed run plays. The Giants selected Dart with the 25th overall pick in the first round of April’s NFL Draft. He began his collegiate career at Southern California in 2021 before transferring to Ole Miss ahead of the 2022 season. In his final year with the Rebels, Dart threw for 4,279 yards, with 29 touchdowns and six interceptions.

A QB change: Giants are planning to start rookie Jaxson Dart on Sunday vs. the Chargers, sources told ESPN. pic.twitter.com/PwYApMCoN7 If wasn’t a matter of if, it was a matter of when. This was consensus going into the 2025 season, and while Russell Wilson played well in Dallas, two duds against the Chiefs and Commanders was enough for Brian Daboll to make a change. At Jerry World, Wilson went 30 for 41 for 450 yards, three touchdowns, and an interception.

That was good enough for a 123 QB rating. In the other two games combined, Wilson finished 35 for 69 for 328 yards, 0 TDs, and two picks. Neither performance topped a 60 QB rating. In all three games, he’s run for 94 yards on 16 carries, breaking off at least one 10+ yard run in each outing. In a New York minute, Russell Wilson's out and Jaxson Dart's time is now. Dart will start at quarterback in the New York Giants' Week 4 game against the visiting Los Angeles Chargers, NFL Network Insiders Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo reported on Tuesday.

Giants coach Brian Daboll confirmed the QB change on Wednesday. "I met both with Russ yesterday and Jaxson privately, and Russ was nothing but a pro, which is what I would expect him to be," Daboll told reporters. "It's my decision. We're going with Jaxson. We're going to get him ready to play this week and the remainder of the season. He's going to do everything he can.

Russ will be the backup." Following a dreadful offensive showing in a 22-9 loss on Sunday night to the Kansas City Chiefs, Wilson is three and out in Gotham. Dart, taken 25th overall in the 2025 NFL Draft after New York traded back into the first round, had an impressive preseason that had many wondering just how long it would be before he... Turns out it's three weeks, with Wilson struggling in two of the three games and New York off to an 0-3 start for the first time since Daboll took over as head coach in... Giants rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart has seen a handful of snaps the last two weeks and that number is set to go up by a lot in Week 4. According to multiple reports, the 0-3 Giants will start Dart against the Chargers at home this Sunday.

Head coach Brian Daboll said on Monday that the team was working through all personnel decisions when asked if Dart or Russell Wilson would start this week. Dart has played six offensive snaps over the last two weeks and has run the ball twice for no yards. He has not attempted a pass in the regular season, but should now have plenty of opportunities to show what he can do through the air. Wilson threw for 450 yards and three touchdowns in Week 2 against the Cowboys, but an interception in overtime helped send the Giants to a loss. Wilson threw two more picks against the Chiefs on Sunday night and is 35-of-69 for 328 yards outside of the big day in Dallas. The Giants also have Jameis Winston on their 53-man roster, but reports indicate that he is expected to remain the No.

3 quarterback behind Dart and Wilson. It is finally Jaxson Dart time for the New York Giants. Veteran QB Russell Wilson struggled in two out of three games to start the season, leading New York to a 0-3 record. That was apparently enough to cost him his job. The writing was on the wall. Giants head coach Brian Daboll is on the hot seat and was noncommittal when talking about Russ after Week 3's loss.

“We’re working through all personnel decisions. We’ll do that in the next few days,” Daboll said Sunday, via SNY. “I’d say we’re evaluating everything.” That led to plenty of speculation that Dart could become the starter sooner rather than later. In fact, Peter Schrager speculated that Dart could be the starter as early as this week. “When Russell Wilson was in there, you heard the boo birds,” Schrager continued.

“The schedule's brutal. We know that there's never going to be a good time,” Schrager continued. “I would not be shocked if he's under center Sunday against the Chargers.” The Chargers defense will see a rookie quarterback in Week 4. Giants Head Coach Brian Daboll confirmed Wednesday that Jaxson Dart will start Sunday and be New York's starter for the rest of the 2025 season. What does Chargers Head Coach Jim Harbaugh expect to see from Dart?

"That he's going to be good," Harbaugh said. "Preparing for him to start, you look at the tape from the games he played. It'll be a challenge." He later added: " He's a good player, you can already see that on the tape we have seen. Presence, mobility, sees the entire field, accurate thrower. All the good things, he's got it.

He's got that it factor, too, can see that as well."
