Jake Haener, a 2023 fourth-round quarterback, is on the Giants' practice squad but was not elevated to the 53-man roster before Monday, making him ineligible to serve as an emergency third quarterback. The source notes that the Giants do not have any quarterbacks beyond Dart and Winston on their 53-man roster, meaning if Winston is injured, they would have to look to a skill-position player to step in.
