Questions about Russell Wilson or the Giants?

Russell Wilson Today

HEYTC AI
Russell Wilson, ranked #27 in HeyTC AI Rankings, closed out a dismal 4-13 Giants season with a heartbreaking 40-37 overtime playoff loss to the Cowboys in their Wild Card elimination game, where he dazzled by completing 30-of-41 passes for 450 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception, including a late 48-yard go-ahead score to Malik Nabers. Despite the heroics, New York's defense faltered late, capping Wilson's limited 2025 stint of just three starts (0-3, 831 yards, 3 TD, 3 INT) after a shocking Grade 2 hamstring tear before his Week 2 monster game that got him benched behind rookie Jaxson Dart. Post-game, the 37-year-old vet declared he's "not blinking" on playing in 2026, now a free agent shopping teams with shaky QB rooms while the Giants pivot to Dart and Jameis Winston. Fans eyeing a bounce-back story, Wilson's mobility and arm talent could land him a bridge role elsewhere this offseason.

Frequently Asked Questions About Russell Wilson

Is Russell Wilson injured?

Yes, Russell Wilson revealed after the New York Giants’ season ended that he played through an undisclosed Grade 2 hamstring tear this year. He is not listed on a current injury report because the Giants’ season is over, and the injury is being discussed in the context of his offseason recovery and free agency.

How did Russell Wilson play in his last game for the New York Giants?

In the Giants’ regular-season finale, Russell Wilson started despite dealing with what was later revealed to be a Grade 2 hamstring tear, but the Giants’ offense again struggled and their season ended without a playoff berth. His postgame media availability focused far more on his injury reveal and looming free agency than on the box-score line from the finale, underscoring how underwhelming the close to his season was.

Will Russell Wilson be traded or sign with a new team this offseason?

Who does Russell Wilson play for next, and what is his upcoming matchup?
