• Giants' Tommy DeVito: Limited Wednesday, back to backup

  1H ago • By RotoWire

  DeVito (concussion) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday, Patricia Traina of SI.com reports. It's encouraging that DeVito was available in any capacity after exiting late in the first half of this past Sunday's 35-14 loss to the Ravens due to a concussion. DeVito 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's healthy enough to play, he's expected to back up Drew Lock (heel/left elbow), per Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com. Lock was a limited participant in practice Wednesday after missing the loss to Baltimore.

• Giants' Tommy DeVito: Participating in drills

  4H ago • By RotoWire

  DeVito (concussion) is taking part in drills during Wednesday's practice, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports. After sustaining a concussion in Sunday's loss to the Ravens, DeVito has already made enough progress through the five-step protocol to take part in on-field work. Though the extent of his activity in practice won't be revealed until the Giants release their first Week 16 injury report later Wednesday, DeVito appears to have a good shot at being available this Sunday against Atlanta. If DeVito is available this weekend, head coach Brian Daboll said that the second-year signal-caller will work as the backup to Drew Lock (heel/elbow), who appears on track to return from a one-game absence, per Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com.

  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.

• Giants' Tommy DeVito: Being checked for concussion

  3D ago • By RotoWire

  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' Tommy DeVito: Trending toward Week 15 start

  7D ago • By RotoWire

  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.
