New York Giants<\/a> rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart<\/a> could see the field Sunday against the Washington Commanders<\/a>. The Giants created a package of plays for Dart following an impressive preseason, according to NFL Media<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There is no guarantee that Giants offensive coordinator Mike Kafka will utilize these plays for Dart. It’s common practice for NFL<\/a> franchises to use mobile quarterbacks in certain situations.<\/p>\n

The Seattle Seahawks<\/a>\u00a0plan\u00a0to have similar packages<\/a>\u00a0for rookie signal caller Jalen Milroe<\/a> in their Week 1 contest against the San Francisco 49ers<\/a>. In addition, the Pittsburgh Steelers<\/a> utilized Justin Fields<\/a> in a package of plays during the 2024 season after Russell Wilson<\/a>\u00a0took the starting quarterback job midway through the season.<\/p>\n

Dart delivered a strong showing in the preseason as he completed 32 of 47 passes for 372 yards and three touchdowns. Due to the first-round pick’s efficient performance, the Giants listed Dart as the No. 2 quarterback on the team’s depth chart behind Wilson, who signed a one-year deal in the offseason.<\/p>\n

It’s worth noting that Dart showcased his ability to run the ball in the preseason. The former Ole Miss star scrambled for 52 yards and a touchdown on six carries during the preseason.<\/p>\n

Giants coach Brian Daboll has been clear throughout training camp that Wilson was his Week 1 starter. The Giants traded up to the No. 25 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft<\/a> in order to select Dart earlier this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Imagn Images New York Giants rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart could see the field Sunday against the Washington Commanders.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":126699,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[436],"tags":[49,48,69634,13092,1763,1728,69632,19056,514,69633,1764,82,1758],"class_list":{"0":"post-126698","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-giants-score","11":"tag-jameis-winston","12":"tag-jaxson-dart","13":"tag-new-york-giants","14":"tag-new-york-giants-qb","15":"tag-nfc-east","16":"tag-nfl","17":"tag-nfl-schedule","18":"tag-russell-wilson","19":"tag-sports","20":"tag-washington-commanders"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/126698","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=126698"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/126698\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/126699"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=126698"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=126698"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=126698"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
