Will New York Giants rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart make his NFL regular-season debut on Sunday?
Dart won't get the Week 1 start for New York – the Giants declared veteran Russell Wilson the starter early in the offseason and never backed down from that – but he could make a cameo.
NFL Network's Mike Garafolo and Ian Rapoport reported that the Giants have put together a package of plays for Dart, who is serving as Wilson's backup for Sunday's game against the Washington Commanders.
The rookie gunslinger first joined the G-Men as the No. 25 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, a pick the Giants acquired by trading back up into the first round.

Since then, Dart has done plenty to give the Giants confidence in making that decision.
His statistical output was among the best of all rookie quarterbacks: 32-of-47 passing (68% completion rate) for 372 yards, three touchdowns and zero interceptions. Dart also showed off some of his dual-threat abilities, adding six rushes for 52 yards and a touchdown on the ground.
The Giants will kick off their Week 1 game against the Commanders at 1 p.m. ET on Sunday. If Dart takes the field, he would become the first New York rookie quarterback to make his regular-season debut since Tommy DeVito in 2023.
