As the New York Giants prepared for their second preseason game against the New York Jets, they quietly released their second unofficial depth chart.

The most surprising aspect of the new depth chart is that there are no changes. The Giants only had two practices this week, both with the Jets. For that reason, it makes sense why there is no movement.

However, the lack of movement tells us much more than you’d think.

Quarterback

1	2	3	4
Russell Wilson	Jameis Winston	Jaxson Dart	Tommy DeVito

It is disappointing that Dart has not moved up to the backup quarterback spot after his recent hot streak in training camp and dominant performance against the Buffalo Bills. It does indicate, though, that they may be looking to justify keeping Winston on the roster. If he’s not the backup, keeping a veteran in the mix makes little sense if he’ll never be used. Dart remaining at QB3 feels like a decision to have a veteran to turn to in an emergency and establish that there’s no rush to get him on the field.

Running Back

1	2	3	4	5
Tyrone Tracy Jr.	Devin Singletary	Cam Skattebo	Dante Miller	Jonathan Ward

The running back room remaining the same isn’t unexpected, with Skattebo still out of the mix with an injury. It is still intriguing to track whether Miller’s preseason impact will help him secure a special-teams role with the Giants.

Wide Receiver

1	2	3	4	5
Darius Slayton	Jalin Hyatt	Zach Pascal	Juice Wells Jr.
Wan’Dale Robinson	Ihmir Smith-Marsette	Montrell Washington	Dalen Cambre	Jordan Bly/Gunner Olszewski
Malik Nabers	Lil’Jordan Humphrey	Beaux Collins	Da’Quan Felton

There haven’t been any risers amongst the WRs, except for Washington. His productive performance against the Bills and steadiness in practice have been enough to justify him making the roster. Smith-Marsette will likely stick as the team’s return man, but Washington has legitimately challenged him for his role in the slot.

Tight End

1	2	3	4	5
Theo Johnson	Daniel Bellinger	Chris Manhertz	Greg Dulcich	Thomas Fidone II/Jermaine Terry II

No changes for the tight ends make sense as Johnson and Bellinger’s roles are established. However, it still begs the question of how many tight ends they’ll keep and whether Fidone II can unseat Gulcich after this week. Last year, they only kept three, with Manhertz being the final tight end.

Offensive Line

	1	2	3	4
RT	Jermaine Eluemunor	Marcus Mbow	Stone Forsythe
RG	Greg Van Roten	Evan Neal	Jake Kubas	Jaison Williams
C	John Michael Schmitz Jr.	Austin Schlottmann	Jimmy Morrissey
LG	Jon Runyan Jr.	Aaron Stinnie	Bryan Hudson
LT	James Hudson III	Joshua Ezeudu	Marcus Mbow

It’s unlikely that Mbow will jump ahead of someone after his stellar first game, but it does make one wonder if we could see a change anytime soon. If he continues to string together good days, the Giants should let him challenge Hudson III for the sixth offensive lineman role.

Defensive Line

	1	2	3	4	5
DE	Kayvon Thibodeaux	Chauncey Golston	Trace Ford
NT	Dexter Lawrence II	Elijah Chatman	D.J. Davidson	Jordon Riley	Cory Durden
DT	Rakeem Nuñez-Roches	Roy Roberston-Harris	Darius Alexander	Jeremiah Ledbetter	Elijah Garcia
OLB	Brian Burns	Abdul Carter	Tomon Fox

Since we already know the stars among the defensive linemen, the rookie Alexander has drawn the most attention. Alexander has been unimpressive for a typical Day 2 pick. Hopefully, eventually, he can gain momentum, but that may not happen until later in the regular season.

Linebacker

1	2	3	4
Bobby Okereke	Darius Muasau	Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles
Micah McFadden	Chris Board	Dyontae Johnson	K.J. Cloyd

Ultimately, the linebacker room will be the one position group that won’t change. McFadden and Okereke are studs, and Muasau and Board are solid backups.

Defensive Back

	1	2	3	4
NB	Dru Phillips	Nic Jones	TJ Moore
CB	Paulson Adebo	Tre Hawkins III	Art Green	O’Donnell Fortune
S	Tyler Nubin	Dane Belton	Makari Paige
S	Jevón Holland	Raheem Layne	K’Von Wallace
CB	Deonte Banks or Cor’Dale Flott		Korie Black	Dee Williams

The battle for the second outside cornerback position remains at a standstill. Banks has a strong opportunity to establish himself as the man for the job with Flott out of the lineup against the Bills. But a shaky performance and no changes from last week re-establish that Flott has a strong chance at beating him out.

Hopefully, heading into their final preseason game against the New England Patriots, we’ll have significant shakeups to better determine who will make the 53-man roster.
