With Jaxson Dart likely lost for the season, it’ll be Jameis Winston going forward. Via @RapSheet on X

What happened: Jaxson Dart suffered a knee injury that showed more damage than first expected after an MRI. Jameis Winston entered in relief and now takes over the offense.

Why it matters: New York must recalibrate its offense around a veteran backup for the stretch run. Winston's experience keeps the playbook intact while Dart recovers.

What to watch: Watch for an official roster designation and Winston's first full week of starter reps.
