The New York Giants took the field on Wednesday for their first of three practices ahead of a Week 11 game against the Green Bay Packers at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, this Sunday at 1:00 p.m. EST.
Beforehand, interim head coach Mike Kafka updated the status of several injured players, including rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart, who remains in concussion protocol after leaving last week’s game against the Chicago Bears.
“Jaxson’s still in the protocol, but I think having a great plan and, again, working in unison with Coach Kelly and our offensive staff and putting together that plan, that way when he is ready to go, that we have a great plan to keep him healthy,” Kafka said. “He’s in the middle of it. And to be honest with you, I have a lot of trust in our medical staff and our medical team, and they’re taking great care of him. So, each day I get a little bit of an update, he’s right on track and right on pace in the program.”
Although Dart is making progress, Kafka confirmed reports that Jameis Winston will start at quarterback until he returns. Russell Wilson will serve as QB2 in Dart’s absence and then QB3 when he’s back.
