Andrew Thomas practiced in a limited capacity on back-to-back days this week but was officially listed as “doubtful” for Sunday’s <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-york-giants/giants-vs-cowboys-bold-predictions-week-2-2025-nfl-season">divisional matchup against the Dallas Cowboys.</a></p><p>Thomas continues working his way<a href="https://x.com/MikeGarafolo/status/1966570023482278119" rel="noopener"> back from the foot injury</a> he suffered last October, when a Lisfranc fracture ended his season after just six games. He underwent a procedure to repair the injury and was activated from the physically unable to perform list last week. Head coach Brian Daboll noted that both the trainers and Thomas have been “hitting checkpoints” in his recovery, though the timeline remains unclear.</p><p>Despite the progress, the Giants may have to rely on other options against Dallas. Veteran tackle James Hudson has filled in at Thomas’ spot throughout the preseason and in Week 1, protecting Russell Wilson’s blind side. The coaching staff also has rookie Marcus Mbow, who has shown versatility at both tackle spots and could see action if needed.</p><p>The Giants’ injury report featured more names beyond Thomas. Defensive lineman Rakeem Nuñez-Roches was added with a foot issue and is also listed as “doubtful” for Sunday. Linebacker Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles has already been ruled out with a calf injury after missing the last two practices.</p><p>There was better news for the wide receiver group. Rookie Malik Nabers, who appeared on the report with back soreness. Darius Slayton also avoided a designation despite being limited earlier with a groin issue. Wan’Dale Robinson remains “questionable” with an ankle injury.</p><p>Daboll <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-york-giants/giants-rumors-insider-andrew-thomas-russell-wilson-jaxson-dart-situation">praised Thomas for the amount of practice reps</a> he has taken but admitted the final decision depends on how he responds after consecutive days of work. For now, the Giants’ top offensive lineman remains unlikely to play in Week 2, with hopes of a return for the home opener against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 3.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Facing off against division rivals, the Washington Commanders, the G-men looked helpless. They lost 21-6, with the offense in particular struggling to generate points. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-york-giants/giants-most-blame-week-1-loss-commanders">The six points the Giants scored were on two field goals,</a> and they came up empty from the 1-yard line late in the game.</p><p>With veteran Russell Wilson struggling in his Giants debut, there are calls for rookie QB Jaxson Dart to start for the team. However, <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/46208962/nfl-week-2-buzz-news-updates-fantasy-intel-questions-predictions" rel="noopener">insider Dan Graziano doesn’t think that the team will start the rookie</a> yet, and it’s because of star offensive tackle Andrew Thomas. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-york-giants/giants-news-new-york-huge-andrew-thomas-update">Thomas is recovering from a Lisfranc fracture he suffered last year.</a></p><p>“Coach Brian Daboll said Monday that Russell Wilson would start again in Week 2, and their plan, as of now, is to keep going with him,” Graziano said on a piece for ESPN. “Part of me wonders if the plan might change once left tackle Andrew Thomas is back healthy and the offensive line is more trustworthy.”</p><p>Graziano mentions that the Giants’ coaching staff has a plan in place to ease in Dart before his NFL debut. With Wilson struggling as badly right now, though, the possibility of Dart starting sooner grows larger every week. Graziano also notes that while Dart is listed as the Giants’ QB2, the team could instead start another veteran, Jameis Winston, if they feel that Dart isn’t ready to start full-time yet.</p><p>“This is a matter of time, and if Wilson looks as lost and ineffective Sunday in Dallas as he did in Washington, I don’t know how much longer the Giants can hold off. One question I have, though, is whether they’d turn to Jameis Winston first if they decide Wilson needs to be benched but aren’t ready to put in Dart.”</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-york-giants/giants-news-new-york-ineptitude-83-year-history">Wilson was horrendous in his first game as a Giant.</a> He completed 17 of his 37 passes for a measly 45.9% completion rate and 168 yards. The silver lining was that he didn’t throw an interception, but his inability to move the chains or even score from inside the 1-yard line hurt the team significantly.</p><p>The Giants face off against another division rival, the Dallas Cowboys, next. The Cowboys have looked better than initially projected despite the loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Will Wilson pick up his game against Dallas, or will he struggle again and force the coaching staff to make a tough decision?</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Quarterback Russell Wilson struggled throughout the contest, as the offense failed to record a single touchdown. Shortly after the game, head coach Brian Daboll shared a cryptic response about Wilson’s role on the offense moving forward.</p><p>Daboll, who is 50 years old, <a href="https://x.com/JordanRaanan/status/1964790965262295129" rel="noopener">did not immediately claim</a> that Wilson will be starting for the Giants in Week 2 against the Dallas Cowboys, according to Jordan Raanan of ESPN. However, Brian Daboll did admit he is still confident in Russell Wilson in his statement.</p><p>“Brian Daboll asked if Russell Wilson is his starter next week. Says it’s just right after the game. This loss wasn’t on Wilson. ‘I have confidence in Russ,’ said Daboll. ‘We have to do better around … overall.'”</p><p>The 36-year-old quarterback finished the game with 169 passing yards while completing 17 passes out of 37 attempts. Brian Daboll and the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-york-giants/giants-news-malik-nabers-has-fans-losing-it-route-running-wizardry">Giants attempted to feed the ball</a> to wide receiver Malik Nabers throughout the contest, as the second-year pro had 12 targets on the day. Unfortunately, Wilson and Nabers couldn’t connect more often, as the star wideout had just five receptions for 71 yards.</p><p>New York made changes at quarterback in the offseason after deciding to move on from Daniel Jones. The front office signed both Wilson and Jameis Winston out of free agency while also selecting rookie Jaxson Dart in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft. Giants fans are antsy to see what Dart can do under center, as he’s the future of the franchise. But it appears they’ll have to wait for now.</p><p>Brian Daboll might have to field questions about the quarterback room throughout the offseason. Especially if Russell Wilson continues to struggle like he did on Sunday. Look for the Giants’ head coach to make a final decision well before the Week 2 matchup vs. Dallas.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

In addition to forming relationships with young wide receivers such as Malik Nabers, the 36-year-old has also tried to appreciate his journey while understanding there is still more to accomplish.</p><p>“The other thing all this showcases is the positive outlook Wilson’s taken to being a Giant, which seems to be rubbing off on others. And while he swears he’s not wrapped up in what people have said about him, doing this stuff, at the very least, speeds up the relationship-building process, which can, in turn, break down what others think of what’s been said about Wilson over the last few years,” wrote Breer.</p><p>“And as for that rosy view of things, here’s a cool little detail—Wilson’s got the same locker at the Giants practice facility that he had for Super Bowl XLIX week, as the Seahawks chased their first Lombardi Trophy title. It’s a daily reminder, for him, of who he is, where he’s been and what he’s still shooting for.”</p><p>Across 199 career games, the former Super Bowl champion has thrown 350 touchdowns and totaled 46,135 passing yards. Wilson has certainly experienced turbulence over the course of his 13-year career, but has not lost his passion for the game.</p><p>“A big part of it is my love for the game has never changed,” Wilson said. “I still know who I am, even when people try to talk about you and try to tear you down. My first year in Denver I played hurt, tore my lat pretty bad. Second year, I felt like I played well, and a big part of was I still threw 26 touchdowns and I felt like it was one of those situations where, OK, if God’s got something different, then let’s go … Pittsburgh was great, I loved it there, loved my teammates, the guys you played with.</p><p>“And being here, I’m just focused on now. I love the city, I love where I’m at. I’m grateful for this team.”</p><p>Wilson and the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/nfl-stories/giants-vs-commanders-bold-predictions-week-1-2025-nfl-season">Giants will face the Washington Commanders</a> on the road in Week 1.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Djokovic, meanwhile, is pushing for his 25th singles Grand Slam and fifth US Open title this year. He advanced smoothly through <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/tennis/us-open-news-novak-djokovic-roger-federer-record-2nd-round-win">the early rounds</a> with straight-set and four-set victories. He did the same when he faced Jan-Lennard Struff in the Round of 16. The Serbian now advances to the Quarter Final, where he takes on the last American man standing at the US Open, Taylor Fritz.</p><p>At 38 years old, Djokovic remains a major force on the tennis court, impressing fans with his skill and dedication. Meanwhile, Wilson is <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-york-giants/giants-news-russell-wilson-has-fans-buzzing-over-fired-up-post-2025-season">preparing for his first season with the Giants</a> after signing a one-year deal for $10.5 million in March as a free agent.

He has met a number of different athletes from different sports thanks to his father.</p><p>For Wilson and Ciara, the moment will definitely stand out as a favorite memory from this US Open visit. Watching Djokovic train and getting a signed tennis ball for their son made the experience even more special.</p><p>Such moments remind fans how sports bring people and their worlds together, celebrating talent, determination, and shared joy beyond just game results.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

After Micah Parsons was traded from the Dallas Cowboys to the Green Bay Packers in one of the most shocking deals in recent NFL history, the veteran quarterback took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to offer a <a href="https://x.com/DangeRussWilson/status/1961194353449472443" rel="noopener">humorous yet supportive message</a> to the All-Pro defender.</p><p>“You know @MicahhParsons11 I went to Wisconsin @BadgerFootball…</p><p>Anything you need in Wisco…</p><p>Packing ur bags.. moving company… just let me know. 😂🤣😂”</p><p>Parsons responded just as playfully, <a href="https://x.com/MicahhParsons11/status/1961206729456415093" rel="noopener">accepting the offer</a> on the platform shortly after.</p><p>“🤝🤝🤝 hit my line”</p><p>The light-hearted exchange quickly went viral, racking up over 20,000 combined likes and reposts within hours. But beneath the jokes was a meaningful shift in the NFC hierarchy. With Parsons now out of the division, the Giants no longer have to face one of the league’s top pass rushers twice a year — a quiet win for Wilson and company.</p><p>The Packers trade was massive in scope. In return for sending Parsons to Green Bay, the Cowboys received defensive tackle Kenny Clark, a 2026 first-round pick, and a 2027 first-round pick. Parsons also agreed to a four-year, $188 million extension — including $136 million guaranteed and $47 million annually — making him the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history.</p><p>For the Giants, the removal of Parsons from the NFC East could have immediate effects. The edge rusher terrorized New York’s offensive line for four seasons, compiling 52.5 sacks and 256 tackles with Dallas. His exit not only weakens a division rival but gives Wilson more breathing room in a critical prove-it season.</p><p>Still, the moment on social media wasn’t just about football. Russell Wilson’s tweet had an authentic touch rooted in personal history. Back in 2011, Wilson spent his final college season at the University of Wisconsin, throwing for 3,175 yards and 33 touchdowns, and leading the Badgers to a Big Ten title and Rose Bowl appearance. His familiarity with the region gave real weight to his offer — even if it was delivered with emojis.</p><p>The trade also has major implications across the league. With the four-time Pro Bowl linebacker now leading a Green Bay defense that already features Rashan Gary and Xavier McKinney, the Packers quickly emerge as serious contenders. On the other side, the Cowboys are now facing big questions on defense, and fans haven’t been shy about expressing their frustration online and on sports radio.</p><p>As for the Giants quarterback, this wasn’t just friendly banter — it was a strategic moment disguised as humor. Wilson used the opportunity to show leadership, inject some personality, and quietly celebrate a major shift in the division.

It’s unclear how well this team will play, but it sounds like the wide receiver room is excited to play alongside the veteran quarterback. At least that’s true about Darius Slayton, who complimented Wilson ahead of the Week 1 season opener.</p><p>While talking with media members, Slayton admitted that Russell Wilson <a href="https://x.com/JordanRaanan/status/1960044106865938802" rel="noopener">is “disgustingly consistent,”</a> according to Jordan Raanan of ESPN. From the sounds of it, Slayton is impressed with the 36-year-old quarterback.</p><p>“He’s disgustingly consistent.”</p><p>Wilson somewhat bounced back last season with the Pittsburgh Steelers after struggling mightily with the Denver Broncos. After coming back from injury, the former Super Bowl-winning quarterback recorded 2,482 passing yards and 16 touchdowns while throwing a 63.7% completion percentage through 11 games played.</p><p>Consistency has been a strong suit of Wilson’s throughout his career. The six games he missed with the Steelers are the most games he’s missed in a single season. Russell Wilson spent the first 12 years of his career playing in 14 or more games in each season.</p><p>For Darius Slayton, Wilson very well could be the most consistent quarterback he’ll play with in his career so far. Through his six years in the NFL, Slayton has played with numerous quarterbacks. Whether it was due to injuries or the Giants simply making a switch at quarterback, there hasn’t been much consistency from the position for some time.</p><p>Slayton has a chance to serve as the No. 2 option in the passing game for Russell Wilson this season. Whether or not Wilson finishes the 2025-26 campaign as the starter is yet to be determined. However, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-york-giants/giants-news-jaxson-dart-dad-brandon-criticisms">the Giants should have better quarterback play</a> moving forward with Wilson under center. But the team is hopeful that rookie Jaxson Dart is the future of the franchise.</p><p>We’ll see Russell Wilson and the Giants in action when they take on the Washington Commanders in the season opener. That contest kicks off on Sunday, September 7, at 1 p.m. EST.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

This preseason proved that, as Russell Wilson, Jaxson Dart, Jameis Winston, and Tommy DeVito all played well and showcased their talent. Dart is the one quarterback everyone is talking about, as the rookie has put out some good film in all three preseason games.</p><p>Though Dart has impressed many, it still looks like Russell Wilson will be the starting quarterback in Week 1. ESPN’s Dan Orlovsky has kept an eye on the Giants’ quarterbacks, and he <a href="https://x.com/danorlovsky7/status/1958866570383392861" rel="noopener">shared his thoughts</a> on social media about their last game against the New England Patriots.</p><p>“Jaxson Dart was great again. 4 drops took away another 100+ yards as well. His eyes were where they should be. He was sudden with what he did and moved. Very good ball placement. He has an incredibly bright future with the Giants. They should still start Russell Wilson to begin the season,” Orlovsky wrote on X, formerly Twitter.</p><p>There’s no doubt that Dart has the skills, but Wilson has the skills and experience that the Giants have been looking for at the position for some time now. Things could change at any moment, but as of now, Wilson gives the Giants the best chance to win.</p><h2><b>Jaxson Dart continues to impress the Giants</b></h2><p>Dart had a solid game in the Giants’ final preseason game, completing six of his 12 passes for 81 yards and a touchdown. Like Orlovsky said, his stats would have looked better if there hadn’t been a few dropped passes. Nonetheless, Dart showed the ability to make good reads and played a good game in limited time, and head coach <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-york-giants/giants-news-brian-daboll-jaxson-dart-preseason">Brian Daboll seems to be pleased</a> he has the rookie.</p><p>“I’m glad we drafted him. I’m glad he’s our guy,” Daboll said after the game.</p><p>Dart may not see the field in his rookie season, but he’ll be learning from two veteran quarterbacks who have ample experience in the league. Wilson will be key in Dart’s development, especially when looking at what he has been able to accomplish throughout his career.</p><p>Though some teams throw their rookie quarterbacks into the fire immediately, sometimes that doesn’t have to be the case. Looking at quarterbacks such as Jordan Love and Lamar Jackson, they had to sit behind veterans before taking the field, and they’ve turned out to be really good. Patrick Mahomes even sat to start his rookie season, and look at what he’s doing.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Giants also drafted Jaxson Dart in the NFL Draft. However, New York is rolling with Wilson to start the season. He, for one, is excited to get going with Malik Nabers.</p><p>Nabers exploded during his rookie season after New York drafted the LSU star. Despite playing as part of one of the league’s worst offenses, the rookie receiver had an excellent season. Now that he has Wilson behind center, the sky’s the limit for Nabers in his sophomore season in the NFL. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-york-giants/giants-news-russell-wilson-reveals-exact-reason-he-signed-with-new-york">Wilson even named Nabers as a main reason he wanted to play for New York</a>.</p><p>Wilson thanked Nabers on social media ahead of the Giants’ preseason finale. Simply, he appreciates the fact that the young receiver <a href="https://x.com/DangeRussWilson/status/1958296684557218145" rel="noopener">helped re-ignite his fire</a>.</p><p>“Thank you for the fuel,” Wilson said about Nabers’ motivation.</p><p>While <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-york-giants/giants-news-fans-jaxson-dart-impressive-preseason-vs-jets">Dart has impressed throughout the preseason</a>, Dabboll is rolling with his veteran. Wilson played well last season for the Pittsburgh Steelers. However, he is still looking for a long-term home after leaving the Seattle Seahawks. If he and Nabers can take their preseason success and translate it into the regular season, he could stick around in New York for a while.</p><p>The Giants are in a very competitive division in the NFC East. The Philadelphia Eagles and Washington Commanders both made the NFC Championship last season. After winning that game, the Eagles walked away with the Super Bowl. Even the Dallas Cowboys are getting ready for a bounce back season with a healthy Dak Prescott under center.</p><p>Despite the competition around him, Wilson is confident heading into the season. Nabers is a big reason why. If the season goes well, Nabers might go down as the best receiver the veteran has ever played with. Their partnership has grown a lot since Wilson joined the team, and he is happy to play with a teammate that inspires him to compete.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

New York begins the season against the Washington Commanders, Dallas Cowboys, Kansas City Chiefs and Los Angeles Chargers — four of the league’s best defenses.</p><h2><b>Russell Wilson remains atop Giants’ 2025 depth chart</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Russell-Wilson-3-looks-to-pass-during-training-camp-at-Quest-Diagnostics-Training-Center.jpg"><figcaption>Vincent Carchietta-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The Giants are not only content with Wilson opening the year as their starter; they are reportedly satisfied if Dart spends his entire rookie season on the bench. New York appears to be emulating the Alex Smith-Patrick Mahomes model employed by the Kansas City Chiefs, a strategy that offensive coordinator Mike Kafka was involved in during the 2017 season.</p><p>However, the strategy will only work if Wilson leads the team to success in 2025. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/giants-news-john-mara-sends-blunt-warning-to-brian-daboll-joe-schoen">Daboll and general manager Joe Schoen entered the offseason</a> on the hot seat, likely putting them one more bad season away from unemployment. If Wilson performs like he did with the Denver Broncos and Daboll refuses to give in to fan pressure by keeping Dart on the bench, that could be his final straw. Wilson has been a mixed bag of results late in his career and could easily play his way out of the job.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Dart will <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/giants-news-abdul-carter-grown-man-label-rival-coach">pair with No. 3 overall pick Abdul Carter</a> to form one of the most talented and intriguing rookie classes in the NFL.</p><p>While Carter is already wrecking opposing offensive lines in the preseason and should be one of the best players on the field for the G-Men right away this fall, fans may have to wait a little bit longer to see Dart in action for the first time in regular season action.</p><p>The Giants brought in both Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston this offseason. While Winston is buried behind Dart on the current depth chart, Brian Daboll and company are <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/giants-news-what-russell-wilson-winning-habits-preseason-opener">rolling with Wilson as the starting quarterback</a> to begin the regular season. However, it would be no surprise to see Dart inserted as the starter at some point during the season.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/giants-news-fans-jaxson-dart-impressive-preseason-vs-jets">Dart has been one of the standouts of the preseason</a> through two games, not just in the Big Apple but in the entire NFL. In his first two games of NFL action, Dart has completed 26-of-35 passes for 291 yards and two touchdowns.</p><p>The Giants play in the very difficult NFC East division, with the Philadelphia Eagles, Washington Commanders and Dallas Cowboys all projected to compete for a playoff spot this season. New York has a very good defensive line and could have a strong defense overall, but it would be a surprise if it is on the level of its peers in the division barring injury.</p><p>If the G-Men do end up falling out of playoff contention, the calls for Dart to enter the lineup as the starter will only get louder and louder. But when will the move be made?</p><h2><b>Jaxson Dart could take over for Russell Wilson in Week 7</b></h2><p>Depending on how the season goes for the Giants, there are two logical points where Daboll and the Giants could look to make the switch to their rookie quarterback, who has looked excellent so far in the preseason.</p><p>If the season goes poorly for the Giants at <a href="https://www.giants.com/schedule/" rel="noopener">the start of the year</a>, Dart could take over for Wilson in Week 7 when the Giants take on the Denver Broncos.</p><p>Now, you may be thinking that it would be a bad idea to debut your rookie quarterback against a defense that has a chance to be the very best unit in football. That is fair! It would certainly be a big challenge for Dart to start his career against Vance Joseph, Patrick Surtain II and the Broncos.</p><p>However, the Giants will be coming off of a Thursday night game in Week 6 against the Philadelphia Eagles, so Daboll and his staff would have a couple of extra days to get the rookie quarterback ready to go for the afternoon tilt in the Mile High City.</p><p>In this case, Dart’s second start would come against the Eagles in Week 8. While Philadelphia is also going to have a very good defense led by Vic Fangio, it will be a familiar game plan for the young quarterback after just having played the divisional rivals back in Week 6.</p><p>The Giants open the season with divisional games against the Commanders and Cowboys before contests against the Kansas City Chiefs and Los Angeles Chargers, so there is a good chance that they will be either 0-4 or 1-3 by that point. If things are spiraling out of control, Daboll could make the quarterback switch early on.</p><h2><b>Daboll could also wait until Week 13 to play Dart</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Jaxson-Dart-2_38054d.jpg"><figcaption>Rich Barnes-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Let’s say the Giants are hanging around in the division and are relevant in the wild card race during the first part of the season. Obviously, New York would continue to roll with Wilson under center in that case until the wheels fall off. However, Week 13 presents another opportunity to put Dart out there and see what he’s got.</p><p>Coming off of a challenging Week 12 clash against the Detroit Lions, the Giants will head to Foxborough for a Monday Night Football clash against the New England Patriots. The later game gives Dart an extra day to prepare for his first start, and the Patriots present a defense that doesn’t have a ton of talent and would allow the Ole Miss product to work comfortably in his debut.</p><p>Following that Patriots game, the Giants have their Week 14 bye. Daboll would be able to sit Dart down, go over what went right and wrong in his debut and have two weeks to prepare for a Week 15 tilt with the Commanders. Dart would then get four games after the bye to build some experience and confidence as the season winds down.</p><p>The Giants have games against the Packers and Lions coming into that Week 13 game against New England, so it’s easy to see a world where things go south for Wilson against two of the NFC’s best teams. That could be what finally tips it over the edge and makes Daboll make the change.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
