The New York Giants will start Jameis Winston at quarterback on Sunday against the Green Bay Packers if Jaxson Dart is not cleared from his concussion. Winston will jump ahead of Russell Wilson on the depth chart following the firing of Brian Daboll and elevation of Mike Kafa to interim head coach.
Winston last played in Week 15 last season with the Cleveland Browns. The Giants signed Winston to a two-year, $8 million contract with the Giants in the offseason. The Giants intend for Winston to be their backup behind Dart next season, but then signed Wilson to a one-year, $10.5 million deal. Winston has been a mentor for Dart and others throughout the season.
Dart has been evaluated for a concussion in four separate games this season.
