DeVito (concussion) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday, Patricia Traina of SI.com reports.
DeVito's ability to practice in any capacity to begin Week 16 prep is an encouraging sign, after he exited late in the first half of this past Sunday's 35-14 loss to the Ravens due to a concussion. The quarterback still needs to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol in order to dress for Sunday's game against the Falcons. Even if DeVito is healthy enough to play, head coach Brian Daboll said that the second-year signal-caller would fill a backup role behind Drew Lock (heel/left elbow), who is expected to start this weekend after sitting out against Baltimore, per Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com. Lock was also a limited participant in practice Wednesday.
