Giants HC Confirms Stance on Benching Russell Wilson After Confrontation With Malik Nabers

Brian Daboll and the Giants would never want a season opening like this, especially when the HC is one of the head coaches on the hot seat in 2025. A 6-21 loss over the division rivals, the Commanders, we’re talking about here. Russell Wilson and the offense struggled tremendously throughout the game. The quarterback completed just 17-of-37 passes for 169 yards without scoring a touchdown.

Which naturally raised the question: Could Daboll bench Wilson in place of the rookie QB, Jaxson Dart? Well, if you ask the head coach, he’ll shut down any talk about benching Wilson for Dart in a heartbeat. After the Commanders torched the Giants in their season opener, Daboll was asked if he considered putting Dart in the game. His response? “I did not,” Daboll said.

“I did not”
