Giants' Tommy DeVito: May start after all Thursday

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.
