Russell Wilson is not playing today, October 10, 2025, because he was benched by the New York Giants due to multiple underwhelming performances this season. He is healthy but designated as inactive for the third consecutive game on coach's decision. Jaxson Dart has taken over as starting quarterback after leading the team to its first win of the season following four straight losses with Wilson starting. The Giants decided to continue with Dart despite losing a subsequent game, and Wilson remains sidelined for football reasons, not injury.
