The New York Giants are riding with their veteran.

Russell Wilson will remain the team’s starting quarterback for its Week 2 tilt against the Dallas Cowboys, head coach Brian Daboll told reporters on Monday.

Wilson, 36, struggled in his Giants debut during a 21-6 loss to the Washington Commanders on Sunday.

The former Seahawk, Bronco and Steeler completed just 17 of 37 pass attempts for 168 yards while adding 44 rushing yards on eight carries. He did not throw an interception or a touchdown.

After the game, Daboll did not fully commit to Wilson. The Giants also used a first-round pick on QB Jaxson Dart and signed veteran Jameis Winston in the off-season.

“We’re going to get home and look at our game,” Daboll said when asked if he might turn to Dart, who is No. 2 on the depth chart.

However, it will be Wilson in Week 2 after all.
