The New York Giants are exploring quarterback options following Jaxson Dart's knee injury that will keep him out for the rest of the regular season. Jameis Winston will start in Week 3 against the Tennessee Titans while the team considers candidates such as Jimmy Garoppolo, J.J. McCarthy, and Mac Jones. Winston's performance in the upcoming game could influence how aggressively the Giants pursue additional quarterbacks. They have elevated Jake Haener from the practice squad to serve as Winston's backup.
