Jameis Winston won’t be taking the Giants’ bye week off.
The backup QB will be joining Week 14 coverage as part of the “FOX NFL Kickoff” and “FOX NFL Sunday” shows, the network announced.
He’ll be the second member of the Giants’ quarterback room to take to TV for the week off, with Russell Wilson taking part in CBS’ studio show, “The NFL Today.”
No word on rookie starter Jaxson Dart’s plans as of yet.
While Wilson’s appearance may serve as what would be a natural transition to a different side of the camera, Winston has one more year on his Giants contract following this season, and as he showed in a pair of starts in Dart’s absence, he has plenty of fun left in his arm and legs.
He put together what may end up being the 2-11 Giants’ highlight-reel play of the season in Week 12’s 34-27 loss to the Lions: a screen-pass to Gunner Olszewski that the wideout then threw back to Winston, who took it 33 yards for his first receiving touchdown.
“Those are morale boosters,” Winston said of the play. “You should have seen the sideline, man. We were pumped. We were excited. And we need that. We need that energy moving forward.’’
The 31-year-old and No. 1 pick in the 2015 NFL Draft isn’t just known for his journeyman QB exploits — he’s gained notoriety as an effervescent and veteran locker room presence with a big stake in Dart’s development this season.
“He brings great juice, great energy,’’ Olszewski told The Post’s Mark Cannizzaro ahead of Winston’s first Giants start. “He’s also very present. I think that’s what makes a great leader. He’s been leading ever since he got here.
“And he’s still slinging the pill, I imagine the same as he did back in the day. I’d love to see him throw a baseball. I know he’s a good baseball player.’’
We’ll soon know whether he brings the traits to his analysis.
