The New York Giants confirmed that Jameis Winston will be their starting quarterback when they host the Green Bay Packers in Week 11 on Sunday. Winston will get the QB1 role since rookie Jaxson Dart is out with a concussion. When the Giants announced they were giving Winston the start against Green Bay, their third-string quarterback, Russell Wilson, shared a cryptic post on Instagram.

On his IG story on Saturday, Wilson posted a video of his touchdown pass to Malik Nabers in the fourth quarter against the Dallas Cowboys earlier in the season. He also wrote a message on the post, which read:

"Reminder to self: Only 8 weeks to go. Few Games ago. Don't forget what you're capable of. Stay Faithful. Stay Focused. God's Plan."

In that Week 2 game against the Cowboys, Wilson went 30 of 41 for 450 yards with three touchdowns and one interception. However, the Giants suffered a 40-37 loss in overtime.

Wilson was named the Giants' QB1 at the start of the season. However, since the Giants did not get a win in their opening three games, he was benched in favor of Dart.

Now, it appears that Wilson has fallen behind Winston in the pecking order.
