DeVito is slated to be joined by Drew Lock behind starting quarterback Daniel Jones (knee), Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. DeVito looks to be sliding down to No. 3 on New York's depth chart, with Lock reportedly receiving a one-year, $5 million contract, per Brady Henderson of ESPN. As a rookie last year DeVito enjoyed a brief stretch in the spotlight following Jones' season-ending ACL tear, but he was replaced by a healthy Tyrod Taylor under center to close out the campaign. As it stands, DeVito could compete with Lock for the No. 2 role this offseason, but it's also possible the Giants add another name to the quarterback room in April's draft, where they hold the No. 6 overall pick.

DeVito is slated to be joined by Drew Lock behind starting quarterback Daniel Jones (knee), Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. DeVito looks to be sliding down to No. 3 on New York's depth chart, with Lock reportedly receiving a one-year, $5 million contract, per Brady Henderson of ESPN. As a rookie last year DeVito enjoyed a brief stretch in the spotlight following Jones' season-ending ACL tear, but he was replaced by a healthy Tyrod Taylor under center to close out the campaign. As it stands, DeVito could compete with Lock for the No. 2 role this offseason, but it's also possible the Giants add another name to the quarterback room in April's draft, where they hold the No. 6 overall pick.
After throwing three touchdowns in his first NFL win the previous week, DeVito came out hot with 57 yards on his first three passes, but he also turned the ball over to end the Giants' first drive just outside the red zone on a botched handoff to Wan'Dale Robinson. Neither offense got much going, but DeVito broke a scoreless tie just after the two-minute warning in the first half with a 12-yard touchdown pass to Isaiah Hodgins, prompting the New Jersey native to break out his signature celebration. After New England tied the game in the third quarter, a fourth-quarter Randy Bullock field goal followed by a miss from Patriots kicker Chad Ryland led to DeVito's second consecutive win. Given DeVito's momentum heading into a Week 13 bye, he'll likely remain the starter under center in Week 14 against the Packers, even with Tyrod Taylor (ribs) eligible to return at that point.
DeVito notched his first NFL win in his second start and fourth appearance as the Giants' recent success against the NFC East rival Commanders continued. The 25-year-old rookie capped New York's third drive with consecutive 24-yard passes to Darius Slayton and Saquon Barkley, the second of which went for a touchdown to open the scoring. DeVito added a 40-yard touchdown pass to Slayton in the second quarter and finished the first half with 189 passing yards. The passing game cooled down in the second half as Barkley took over on the ground, but DeVito's five-yard touchdown pass to Barkley gave the team a cushion in the fourth quarter before a pick-six by New York's defense in the final seconds sealed the victory. DeVito will likely remain the starter in Week 12 against the Patriots, as Tyrod Taylor (ribs) isn't eligible to return from injured reserve until Week 14 versus Green Bay.
On Wednesday, DeVito showed up on the Giants' first Week 11 practice report as limited due to a left shoulder injury, but it didn't stop him from logging all activity one day later. He's thus set to direct New York's offense Sunday versus a Commanders defense that has given up the most touchdown passes (21) to opposing quarterbacks in 10 games this season. However, DeVito has mustered just 4.8 yards per attempt on his 54 passes this season, so he may not be able to take advantage of the matchup.
DeVito has appeared in three consecutive games for the Giants, including his first career start this past Sunday in Dallas. The results have been mixed, as he's completed 31 of 54 passes (57 percent) for 260 yards, three touchdowns and three interceptions and rushed 15 times for 70 yards and one more score. With a health concern in tow, DeVito now will have two more chances this week to get back to full before the team potentially gives him a designation ahead of Sunday's game at Washington. At the moment, Matt Barkley is the only other QB on New York's active roster, while Jacob Eason resides on the practice squad with Daniel Jones (knee) and Tyrod Taylor (ribs) on injured reserve.
The undrafted rookie predictably struggled against an aggressive Dallas defense and got sacked five times, but DeVito was able to toss second-half TDs to Lawrence Cager and Sterling Shepard in what was essentially two quarters of garbage time, as the Giants were in a 28-0 hole heading into halftime. Daniel Jones (knee) is done for the year and Tyrod Taylor (ribs) won't be eligible to return from IR until after the team's Week 13 bye, so DeVito appears to be in line to make at least one more start Nov. 19 against the Commanders.
Daniel Jones (neck) is expected to return as the Giants' signal-caller this Sunday, and with Tyrod Taylor (ribs) missing time, DeVito will serve as the team's second-string QB. The 25-year-old was thrust into action for an injured Taylor during the Giants' Week 8 loss to the Jets, completing two of his seven pass attempts for minus-1 yard while adding 12 yards and one touchdown on the ground.
DeVito was thrust into action after Taylor exited in the second quarter. The undrafted rookie out of Illinois led an 11-play, 75-yard touchdown drive to open the third quarter on which he didn't complete a pass, as a pair of unnecessary roughness penalties on the defense put DeVito in position to run in a go-ahead, six-yard touchdown. In fact, DeVito's first completion didn't come until overtime with the Giants employing a run-heavy approach in hopes of running out the clock before the Jets could tie the game. Daniel Jones (neck) hasn't suited up since Week 5, and if neither Jones nor Taylor are able to play in Week 9 against the Raiders, DeVito could be called upon to make his first NFL start.
It's the third straight week DeVito has been called up with Daniel Jones (neck) ruled out for Week 8. DeVito will serve as the backup to Tyrod Taylor in Sunday's contest against the Jets.
