why isn't russell wilson playing today

Russell Wilson is not playing today because he has been benched by the New York Giants due to poor performance. This is the third consecutive game that Wilson has been inactive as a starter, with rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart taking over the starting role. Wilson is healthy and not injured but remains the backup quarterback as the Giants have committed to Dart to spark their offense after losing their first four games with Wilson as the starter. Wilson briefly appeared in relief during the game but was booed by fans, reflecting his current low stock with the team and fanbase. The Giants' head coach has publicly supported Dart and indicated the team is moving forward with him as the QB1 for now.
