Giants Rookie QB Dart Trails Veteran Winston in Depth Chart
5 Aug
Summary
- Jameis Winston listed as Giants' backup QB, Jaxson Dart as third-stringer
- Rookies Skattebo and Collins sidelined, LT Thomas still on PUP list
- Daboll unsure of playing time for preseason opener against Bills

As the New York Giants prepare for their preseason opener this weekend, the team has released its first unofficial depth chart, revealing some interesting developments. According to the chart, veteran quarterback Jameis Winston is listed as the backup, while rookie Jaxson Dart, the perceived QB of the future, is slotted as the third-stringer.
The Giants' quarterback situation has been a point of focus throughout training camp, with Winston and Dart alternating snaps with the second- and third-team offensive units. However, head coach Brian Daboll has so far declined to reveal his plans for playing time in the first exhibition game against the Buffalo Bills.
Injuries have also been a concern for the Giants. Rookies Cam Skattebo and Beaux Collins have been sidelined from full team practice drills, while standout left tackle Andrew Thomas remains on the physically unable to perform list as he recovers from October surgery for a Lisfranc injury.

Daboll acknowledged the challenges of balancing preseason playing time, noting that there is "no substitute for playing the game" when it comes to evaluating players. The Giants' coach emphasized the importance of tackling and experiencing live game action, as opposed to the limited contact during practice.
As the Giants continue their preparations, the depth chart and injury situation will undoubtedly be closely monitored by both the team and its fans, as they look to gain a clearer picture of the team's quarterback competition and overall roster heading into the regular season.
