Russell Wilson Demoted as Giants Name Jameis Winston Starting Quarterback

Russell Wilson has been demoted on the New York Giants' depth chart, with Jameis Winston now positioned as the starting quarterback. Wilson, who was signed by the Giants to be their 2025 starting quarterback after starting 11 games for the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2024, opened the season as the Giants' starter but was largely ineffective during the team's 0-3 start. He was subsequently replaced by rookie Jaxson Dart in Week 4. Wilson appeared in two games while Dart was evaluated for concussions, including handling the final quarter of last Sunday's 24-20 loss to the Bears after Dart was ruled out. In that game, Wilson completed 3 of 7 passes for 45 yards and was sacked twice, continuing a trend of ineffective play.
