DeVito won't return to Sunday's game versus the Ravens due to a concussion, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports. Prior to exiting late in the first half, DeVito completed 10 of 13 passes for 68 yards and had one carry for no yards. With a concussion confirmed for DeVito, Tim Boyle has taken over the Giants offense, while Drew Lock (heel/elbow), who is inactive Sunday, serves as the emergency third quarterback.
DeVito is under evaluation for a concussion during Sunday's game against the Ravens, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. DeVito was getting a spot start for Drew Lock (heel/elbow) in Week 15, completing 10 of 13 passes for 68 yards and gaining no yards on his only carry. He was on the receiving end of a roughing the passer penalty late in the first half, which forced him to the locker room at the end of that drive. Backup Tim Boyle kneeled down for the final snap before halftime, at which point the Giants announced DeVito was being checked for a head injury. If DeVito is diagnosed with a concussion, Boyle will lead New York's offense the rest of the way, while Lock also is available as the emergency third quarterback.
Giants head coach Brian Daboll said that DeVito is expected to start Sunday's game against the Ravens, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports. Just two days ago, Daboll noted that Drew Lock would remain the team's starting quarterback if healthy, but the signal-caller is tending to a heel injury that has confined him to a walking boot and will prevent him from practicing Wednesday. While Daboll hasn't officially ruled out Lock for being available as an emergency backup Sunday, the Giants will turn the starting role back over to DeVito, who previously directed the offense in a Week 12 loss to the Buccaneers after incumbent Daniel Jones was cut. While DeVito had a few good moments over his six starts in 2023, he faded down the stretch last season and struggled to move the offense in the 30-7 loss to Tampa Bay, completing 21 of 31 pass attempts for 189 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions to go with 32 yards on seven carries. Though DeVito brings above-average rushing ability at quarterback, his substandard skills as a passer make him a low-end fantasy option in Week 15, especially now that every team has already had its bye week.
DeVito (right forearm) practiced fully Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. DeVito emerged from Week 12 action with a sore right forearm, which left him as the Giants' emergency third quarterback last Thursday at Dallas. On Wednesday, coach Brian Daboll announced that Drew Lock would make a second start in a row, while at the same time stating that DeVito may be healthy enough to serve as his backup Sunday versus the Saints, per Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News. Considering DeVito practiced without limitations Thursday, he seems poised to take on such a role this weekend, but it remains to be seen if that comes to pass.
Giants head coach Brian Daboll said that DeVito (forearm) may be ready to handle No. 2 quarterback duties in Sunday's game versus the Saints, but Drew Lock will make a second straight start this weekend, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports. DeVito will be a limited participant in practice Wednesday due to his forearm injury, per Paul Schwartz of the New York Post. The extent of DeVito's practice activity leading up to Sunday's contest will ultimately determine whether he works as Lock's backup over Tim Boyle, or is again relegated to emergency No. 3 quarterback duties. In his lone start this season -- a 30-7 loss to the Buccaneers in Week 12 -- DeVito carried seven times for 32 yards and completed 21 of 31 pass attempts for just 189 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions.
DeVito (forearm) is listed as inactive Thursday at Dallas but will be available as the emergency third quarterback, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. On Tuesday, the Giants tacked on DeVito to the injury report as limited due to a sore right forearm, which he followed up with an absence from Wednesday's walkthrough and left him questionable for Thursday's game. He didn't travel with his teammates to Dallas and instead stayed behind to undergo an MRI on his forearm, keeping the door ajar for him to start Week 13, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. However, both Rapoport and Adam Schefter of ESPN reported earlier Thursday that DeVito wasn't in line to play, and that has been confirmed. Drew Lock will get the spot start in place of DeVito while Tim Boyle serves as the backup.
DeVito (forearm) isn't expected to play Thursday at Dallas, Adam Schefter of ESPN and Ian Rapoport of NFL Network report. DeVito didn't make an appearance on the Giants' Week 13 injury report until Tuesday due to a sore right forearm, which limited him that day and kept him out entirely Wednesday. He didn't travel with his teammates and stayed behind to have one last MRI to determine if anything was missed, but it also kept the door open for him to start Thursday's game, per Rapoport. Following Thursday's dueling reports from Schefter and Rapoport, DeVito appears to be trending in the wrong direction on that front, but he's also expected to throw pregame, which will be the determining factor for the Giants, according to Rapoport. Conceivably, DeVito could be active but serve as the backup to Drew Lock or even inactive but available as the emergency third QB behind Lock and Tim Boyle.
DeVito (forearm), who is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Cowboys, has a chance to start, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Rapoport's report runs counter to one from Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com earlier Wednesday that described DeVito as a longshot to be available Thursday. DeVito didn't join the Giants' traveling party to Dallas, as he remained behind and had an MRI on his right forearm to determine if the medical staff may have missed something. DeVito will travel to Dallas later Wednesday, and he'll be checked out again early Thursday to see if there's less discomfort in his forearm. If his pregame throwing session goes well, DeVito could be cleared to lead New York's offense. If that doesn't come to pass, though, DeVito would yield starting duties to Drew Lock.
DeVito (forearm) is listed as questionable but is viewed as a "longshot" to be able to play Thursday against the Cowboys, a source tells Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com. Coming out of his first start of the season in Sunday's 30-7 loss to the Buccaneers, DeVito wasn't included on the Giants' initial Week 13 injury report before he was listed as a limited participant in Tuesday's session due to right forearm soreness. DeVito ended up sitting out Wednesday's walk-through practice entirely and is scheduled to receive further evaluation before traveling to Dallas, but at this stage, the expectation is that the second-year signal-caller will be inactive as the emergency No. 3 quarterback on Thanksgiving Day. Drew Lock picked up extra reps with the first-team offense in practice this week and should be in line to start Thursday, with Tim Boyle serving as his top backup.
