With Jaxson Dart in concussion protocol, the Giants will start Jameis Winston on Sunday, moving Russell Wilson further down the depth chart. New York's quarterback situation continues to evolve as the team prepares for Week 11 against the Green Bay Packers.

The decision, made by Giants interim coach Mike Kafka, has not only drawn attention for the on-field change but also for Wilson’s latest Instagram post.

The one-time Super Bowl champion shared pictures on Wednesday with children at Mount Sinai Kravis Children's Hospital.

"We owe it all to you Jesus! Amazed by the gift of each day and the healing power of Your love! Grateful for every Tuesday with the kids at @mountsinaipediatrics @whynotyoufdn," Wilson wrote.

The post did not directly reference the team or the quarterback shuffle, but it has fueled speculation about Wilson’s mindset.

He has recorded 786 passing yards this season and tied for 37th in the league in touchdown passes (3). Wilson's completion percentage is 58.9%, with an average of 7.0 yards per attempt. His QB grade is 63.3, good for 30th out of 37 quarterbacks.

Wilson started the campaign with low output in Week 1, followed by his lone standout game (450 yards, three touchdowns) in Week 2. However, his production has declined sharply compared to prior seasons.

Jameis Winston will start for the Giants over Russell Wilson

Jameis Winston was selected at No. 1 in 2015 by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after a standout collegiate career at Florida State University. Before joining the New York Giants, he threw for 24,225 yards, 154 touchdowns and 111 interceptions.

Winston's 2019 campaign remains his statistical peak. He led the league with 5,109 passing yards and threw 33 touchdowns, but also had 30 interceptions.

Winston's efficiency and consistency have dipped in recent seasons. He completed 61.2% of his passes for 2,121 yards, with 13 touchdowns and 12 interceptions with the Browns in 2024.

Winston brings veteran experience and a large sample size of starts (87 in 105 games) that the Giants will rely on for depth and leadership.
