DeVito cleared concussion protocol and will be the Giants' No. 2 QB for Sunday's game at Atlanta, Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post reports.
Drew Lock (heel) returned to full practice participation earlier in the week and has been named as the Week 16 starter. Lock's absence allowed DeVito to start this past Sunday's eventual 35-14 loss to the Ravens, with Tim Boyle then taking over for the second half after DeVito got concussed.

Giants' Tommy DeVito: Stays limited Thursday
Rotowire
DeVito (concussion) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
While DeVito maintained his activity level from one day prior, coach Brian Daboll told Salomone earlier Thursday that the second-year signal-caller was expected to increase his activity level as he progressed through the concussion protocol. Daboll added, "I think he'll be available" Sunday in Atlanta, but even if DeVito gains clearance from an independent neurologist and is active this weekend, he'll be the backup to Drew Lock (heel/left elbow), who practiced fully Thursday. Tim Boyle is on hand to handle No. 2 QB duties if DeVito isn't able to.

Giants' Tommy DeVito: Limited Wednesday, back to backup
Rotowire
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.

Giants' Tommy DeVito: Participating in drills
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.

Giants' Tommy DeVito: Suffers concussion
Rotowire
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
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
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.

Giants' Tommy DeVito: Full practice Thursday
Rotowire
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' Tommy DeVito: Won't start Week 14
Rotowire
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.

Giants' Tommy DeVito: Inactive, but emergency third QB
Rotowire
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.

Giants' Tommy DeVito: May start after all Thursday
Rotowire
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.

Giants' Tommy DeVito: Looks unlikely to start Thursday
Rotowire
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.

Giants' Tommy DeVito: Iffy for Thanksgiving Day game
Rotowire
DeVito (forearm) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Cowboys, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
DeVito is tending to soreness in his throwing arm after taking multiple hits in his first start of the season in this past Sunday's loss to the Buccaneers. Though he wasn't included on the Giants' initial Week 13 injury report issued Monday, DeVito was a limited participant in Tuesday's practice before sitting out Wednesday's walk-through session entirely. Though head coach Brian Daboll expressed optimism Tuesday that DeVito would be ready to make his second straight start this week, Drew Lock has taken extra reps with the first team in practice and will be ready to direct the offense if DeVito is unable to play. Mike Garafolo of NFL Network adds that DeVito won't join the Giants' traveling party Wednesday, as he's scheduled to receive further evaluation for his injury in New York before catching a flight to Dallas later in the day.

Giants' Tommy DeVito: Tending to forearm injury
Rotowire
Giants head coach Brian Daboll said that DeVito will be a limited participant in Tuesday's practice due to a sore right forearm, Charlotte Carroll of The Athletic reports.
DeVito was curiously left off the injury report Monday, despite Daboll noting that the quarterback was banged up coming out of his first start of the season in this past Sunday's 30-7 loss to the Buccaneers. However, just one day later, DeVito was added to the report due to the injury to his throwing arm, with Daboll acknowledging that the second-year signal-caller is "not 100 percent" certain to play Thursday versus Dallas, per Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post. Drew Lock will take extra reps during Tuesday's practice and would draw the Thanksgiving Day starting nod if DeVito isn't cleared to play in Dallas.

Giants' Tommy DeVito: Banged up after Week 12 start
Rotowire
Giants head coach Brian Daboll said that he's "hopeful" DeVito (undisclosed) will be able to start Thursday's game against the Cowboys, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Though Daboll didn't go into specifics about what type of injury DeVito might be dealing with coming out Sunday's 30-7 loss to the Buccaneers, the second-year quarterback gave way to backup Drew Lock for one snap in the fourth quarter after he appeared to have the wind knocked out of him following a hit. While he didn't commit any turnovers in Sunday's loss, DeVito took four sacks while completing 21 of 31 pass attempts for a modest 189 yards and no touchdowns. The starting job looks like it will belong to DeVito for at least one more game if he can suit up, but he may need a better showing in the Thanksgiving Day matchup with Dallas to retain his spot atop the depth chart for the balance of the season.

Giants' Tommy DeVito: Inconsistent in lopsided loss
Rotowire
DeVito completed 21 of 31 passes for 189 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions and added seven rushes for 32 yards in the Giants' 30-7 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.
DeVito managed to stay away from any turnovers, but he took four sacks and wasn't able to lead the Giants to any points until the game was out of reach in the fourth quarter. DeVito did eventually demonstrate some solid chemistry with top two receivers Malik Nabers and Wan'Dale Robinson, with whom he connected for 11 completions and 111 yards. With his first game action since last season now under his belt, DeVito will look to put together a more complete performance in a Week 13 road matchup against the Cowboys on Thanksgiving Day, although after exiting the game for a play in the fourth quarter following a hard hit, it remains to be seen if he'll have to work through an injury on the short week.

Giants' Tommy DeVito: Week 12 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
DeVito is expected to start for the Giants in Week 12 against Tampa Bay with Daniel Jones getting benched, and we'll see if DeVito can remain the starter for the rest of the season. The upcoming schedule is great against the Buccaneers, Dallas (Week 13), New Orleans (Week 14), Baltimore (Week 15), Atlanta (Week 16) and Indianapolis (Week 17), and DeVito should be added in all Superflex and two-quarterback leagues for at least 10 percent of your remaining FAB. Last season, DeVito started six games for the Giants and scored at least 17.5 Fantasy points in three of those outings.

Giants' Tommy DeVito: Listed as emergency quarterback
Rotowire
DeVito (coach's decision) is designated as the Giants' emergency third quarterback for Sunday's game at Washington, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.
As he was in Week 1, DeVito will be third in line for snaps under center for the Giants in Week 2. If starter Daniel Jones continues to struggle to the extent that he did versus the Vikings, though, the Giants' quarterback depth chart might get shuffled sooner rather than later.
