The New York Giants are making a change at quarterback, turning to rookie Jaxson Dart to start Sunday against the visiting Los Angeles Chargers, sources tell CBSSports.com.

Asked Monday about the team's situation at quarterback following its 0-3 start to the 2025 season, head coach Brian Daboll refused to give veteran Russell Wilson a vote of confidence, but did say the organization was "evaluating everything."

With Jaxson Dart, the future is now in New York

Dart, who was selected 25th overall in this year's draft out of Mississippi, is set to take over an offense that struggled mightily in two of the team's three games this season.

The 6-foot-2, 215 pounder played briefly in the Giants' 40-37 overtime loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Sept. 14 and in their 22-9 defeat to the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, getting a carry in each game and six snaps total.

"We put him in the game for the last two weeks," Daboll said Monday when asked about Dart. "We wouldn't put anybody in a game we don't feel confident with."

It remains to be seen if Dart's big arm, mobility and willingness to throw down the field will translate into more points for the Giants, who have lost 28 of their last 37 regular season games, and have made the playoffs just once in the last nine seasons.

Dart will be thrown right into the deep end of the pool in first NFL start as he will attempt to navigate a Chargers defense that is among the best in the league in opposing passer rating, completion percentage, and yards per attempt.

Following Sunday's game, the Giants hit the road to take on the New Orleans Saints, who are currently 0-3 and allowing 30 points per game. New York then has a short week before meeting the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles at MetLife Stadium on Thursday, Oct. 9.

Dart, who played his freshman season at USC before transferring to Ole Miss, completed 65.2% of his passes for 11,970 yards, 81 touchdowns and just 27 interceptions during his college career. He then quickly became a favorite of Daboll's in training camp, showing many of the traits the Giants identified prior to drafting him.

Russell Wilson's inconsistency early in 2025

Wilson, who led the Seattle Seahawks to the Super Bowl XLVIII championship to conclude the 2013 season, went just 16 of 32 for 160 yards and two interceptions in the loss to the Chiefs, the second time in three weeks the Giants failed to reach double digits in points.

The performance by the offense prompted the crowd at MetLife Stadium to chant, at times, "We want Dart."

Signed to a one-year, incentive-laden contract worth up to $21 million during the offseason, Wilson had given the Giants some reason for optimism after producing a terrific showing on the road against the Cowboys in Week 2, throwing for 450 yards and three touchdowns. However, he also threw a brutal interception that eventually led to Dallas' winning field goal.

So far this season, Wilson has completed 65 of 110 pass attempts for 778 yards, three touchdowns and three picks.

A 10-time Pro Bowler, Wilson hits the bench alongside fellow veteran signal-caller Jameis Winston, who was signed to a two-year, $8 million deal during free agency.
