Veteran QB Jameis Winston Poised for Giants Comeback

As of November 13th, 2025, veteran quarterback Jameis Winston is set to make a comeback for the New York Giants. For the first 10 weeks of the season, the 11-year NFL veteran had been relegated to the third-string quarterback position. However, with the Giants struggling at 2-7 and their starting quarterback Jaxson Dart in the concussion protocol, interim head coach Mike Kafka has decided to promote Winston up the depth chart, ahead of Russell Wilson.

Winston, who has been "playing the game" even without seeing the field, said he "never thought about" the possibility that he had played his final NFL game. Now, he is eager to seize this opportunity, stating, "I've been waiting on this moment, man." The former first overall draft pick is determined to make the most of his chance to lead the Giants' offense against the Packers this week, vowing to be "energetic, enthusiastic, [and] serving every single way" he can.

Despite the uncertainty around how long Winston's stint as the starting quarterback may last, his infectious enthusiasm and unwavering determination could provide a much-needed spark for the struggling Giants team. Fans and the organization alike will be hoping that Winston's leadership can help end the team's four-game losing streak.
