Giants Turn to Winston After Dart’s Season-Ending Injury

The New York Giants will start Jameis Winston at quarterback against the Tennessee Titans in Week 3 after Jaxson Dart suffered a knee injury expected to end his regular season. Coach John Harbaugh said Winston is the starter and that the team’s options remain open, including a possible trade. No additional quarterback signing or trade has been confirmed in the available reports. Dart was injured during Monday’s 28-6 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. Reports after an MRI described damage to his knee as season-ending, though the supplied accounts do not include a detailed medical update or confirmed treatment plan. Harbaugh has left open the possibility that Dart could recover in time for the playoffs if New York qualifies, but that remains conditional. Winston replaced Dart against the Rams and completed 11 of 27 passes for 111 yards, with no touchdowns and one interception. He is now set to take over the starting role. Winston previously started two games for the Giants when Dart was sidelined in 2025. He said the opportunity to start was what he had dreamed of, while expressing respect and gratitude toward Dart and confidence in his ability to run the offense.
