Giants QB Jaxson Dart's knee injury is worse than initially thought, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. "He’s out an extended period of time, possibly the season," Rapoport adds.

Giants QB Jaxson Dart is believed to have sprained his left MCL in Monday night's loss to the Rams, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Dart is scheduled for additional testing on Tuesday to get a better look at the damage. He reportedly wanted to re-enter the Rams game, though, and remained on the sidelines for the second half. It looks like Dart dodged a long-term injury here, although he could still end up missing multiple weeks. We should get a timeline for his return within the next 24 hours. QB Jameis Winston struggled in relief of Dart on Monday night, completing just 11 of 27 passes for 111 yards, 0 TDs, and 1 INT. But he's proven capable of sustaining, and even lifting, passing games in the past.

Giants QB Jaxson Dart appeared to injure his left leg on the first possession of tonight's game against the Rams. Dart got sandwiched between a pair of defenders and took a shot to the outside of the knee. He limped off the field under his own power but went to the blue tent and then the locker room. Jameis Winston entered for the ensuing drive. ESPN's Laura Rutledge reported that Dart went to the locker room rather than the X-ray room.

If you started Giants QB Jameis Winston in Week 12, then he gave you more fantasy points then you could have reasonably expected. Winston completed just 18 of his 36 passes in Sunday's loss to the Lions. But he tallied 366 yards and 2 TDs vs. 1 INT. Winston found WR Wan'Dale Robinson for the game's first score from 39 yards out on a flea flicker. He added a 33-yard catch-and-run receiving TD early in the fourth quarter. The QB also picked up 13 rushing yards on four carries.

The Giants have announced that QB Jaxson Dart remains in the concussion protocol and will not play Sunday against the Lions. That'll mean a second straight start for Jameis Winston.

The forecast for today's Packers-Giants game calls for sustained winds of 20 mph with gusts between 30-40 mph. That's enough to likely impact play-calling, as well as deep throws and longer kicks. We're downgrading both passing games in this one and would avoid both kickers. The over/under in this game has dipped from 43.5 on Thursday to 42.5.

The Giants are moving QB Jameis Winston ahead of Russell Wilson on the depth chart, according to multiple reports. That's especially newsworthy this week, of course, because Jaxson Dart sustained a concussion in Sunday's loss to the Bears. If the rookie's not ready for this Sunday's home date with the Packers, then Winston would start.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the Giants say there's "no sense of urgency" to switch from QB Russell Wilson to first-round rookie Jaxson Dart. Wilson completed just 45.9% of his passes at 4.5 yards per attempt in a 15-point Week 1 loss at Washington.

Per ESPN's Adam Schefter, the New York Giants' official Week 1 depth chart lists first-round rookie QB Jaxson Dart as the team's primary backup behind Russell Wilson

Giants QB Russell Wilson remains the Giants’ starter, per beat writer Connor Hughes, “with no real push from anyone to unseat him.”

Giants HC Brian Daboll said Wednesday that QB Russell Wilson is his starter. "These guys will be out here competing, but Russ is the starter," Daboll said.

Saints QB Derek Carr has announced he'll retire. We already knew there was a chance he'd miss some or all of the coming season because of an injury to his right shoulder. But this news obviously heightens the importance of rookie QB Tyler Shough's quick development and/or another plan for a "bridge" starter.

The Giants are signing QB Russell Wilson to a one-year deal. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that it's worth "up to" $21 million, with $10.5 million of that guaranteed.

The Giants have agreed to a two-year deal with QB Jameis Winston. NFL Network reports that it's worth $8 million total, clear backup money at the position. FOX Sports' Jordan Schultz adds, however, that incentives could push it as high as $16 million. Winston spent last year with the Browns after four seasons with the Saints. He turned 31 in January.

The Browns will start QB Bailey Zappe for Saturday's finale against the Ravens, according to multiple reports. That doesn't necessarily mean we won't see Dorian Thompson-Robinson, though.
