Sep 7, 2025
QB3 for Week 1
DeVito (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the Patriots' emergency third-string quarterback against the Raiders on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
As the emergency quarterback, DeVito will be allowed to see the field only in the event that both Drake Maye and Joshua Dobbs are removed from Sunday's contest. DeVito failed to make the Giants' 53-man roster at the end of training camp but was claimed off waivers by the Patriots in late August to provide depth at quarterback.
Aug 27, 2025
Claimed by Pats
The Patriots were awarded a waiver claim for DeVito on Wednesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
The Giants' offseason moves dropped DeVito to fourth on the depth chart, ultimately leading the team to waive him, but he'll now be the No. 3 QB in New England, behind Drake Maye and Joshua Dobbs. It isn't out of the question for DeVito to challenge Dobbs for the No. 2 spot as the year progresses.
Aug 26, 2025
Can't make final roster
The Giants waived DeVito on Tuesday, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.
ANALYSIS
New York won't carry DeVito on the 53-man roster with all of Russell Wilson, Jaxson Dart and Jameis Winston already guaranteed spots, and a fourth QB seeming superfluous given the team's needs across the board. Across three regular-season appearances (two starts) in 2024, DeVito completed 31 of 44 passes for 257 yards with zero touchdowns while rushing eight times for 32 yards. The Giants will likely hope DeVito makes it back to the practice squad, but it wouldn't be surprising for another team to claim him on waivers.
Aug 22, 2025
Lights up second half
DeVito completed 17 of 20 passes for 198 yards and three touchdowns in Thursday's 42-10 preseason win over the Patriots.
ANALYSIS
DeVito may have earned himself a job Thursday night, be it in New York or elsewhere. The Giants might even consider keeping four QBs on their initial regular-season roster, with DeVito seemingly stuck behind Russell Wilson, Jaxson Dart and Jameis Winston. Alternatively, they could seek a trade for Winston or DeVito, or try to sneak DeVito onto the practice squad.
Mar 8, 2025
Staying with Big Blue
The Giants re-signed DeVito on Saturday, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
DeVito appeared in three games (including two starts) during the 2024 regular season and completed 31 of 44 passes for 257 yards with zero touchdowns while adding eight carries for 32 yards. With Drew Lock and Tim Boyle expected to hit free agency, DeVito is the only QB currently under contract with the Giants, though New York is expected to sign a veteran quarterback like Aaron Rodgers or Sam Darnold in free agency or target younger options like Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Jan 15, 2025
Plays in three games in 2024
DeVito saw action in three contests during the regular season, completing 31 of 44 passes for 257 yards, zero touchdowns and zero interceptions. He also carried eight times for 32 yards.
ANALYSIS
DeVito made a very brief appearance Week 14 against New Orleans, taking one offensive snap without attempting a pass. His other two games were starts, and though he was relatively accurate with a 70 percent completion rate and didn't get picked off, he was quite conservative in averaging just 5.8 yards per attempt. DeVito's campaign was much less boisterous than the year prior, when he enjoyed a brief Cinderella run as a rookie in a fill-in role for Daniel Jones. DeVito will be an exclusive right free agent upon the beginning of the offseason, and the Giants are expected to bring him back, per Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com. It's unclear where he'll stand in the QB pecking order, however, with both Drew Lock and Tim Boyle set to become unrestricted free agents and New York widely expected to upgrade at the position through trade, free agency, and/or the draft.
Dec 20, 2024
Clears concussion protocol
DeVito cleared concussion protocol and will be the No. 2 QB for Sunday's game at Atlanta, Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post reports.
ANALYSIS
Drew Lock (heel) returned to full practice participation earlier in the week and has been named as the Week 16 starter. His absence allowed DeVito to start Sunday's eventual 35-14 loss to the Ravens, with Tim Boyle then taking over for the second half after DeVito got concussed.
Dec 19, 2024
Stays limited Thursday
DeVito (concussion) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
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.
Dec 18, 2024
Limited Wednesday, back to backup
DeVito (concussion) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday, Patricia Traina of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
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.
Dec 18, 2024
Participating in drills
DeVito (concussion) is participating in practice drills Wednesday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
DeVito has progressed to the stage of the NFL's five-step concussion protocol wherein he's allowed to handle limited practice reps, a positive sign for his chances of being cleared to suit up Sunday against Atlanta. Head coach Brian Daboll said DeVito will work as the backup to Drew Lock (heel/elbow) if available Week 16, per Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com.
Dec 15, 2024
Suffers concussion
DeVito won't return to Sunday's game versus the Ravens due to a concussion, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
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.
Dec 15, 2024
Being checked for concussion
DeVito is under evaluation for a concussion during Sunday's game against the Ravens, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
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.
Dec 11, 2024
Trending toward start in Week 15
Giants head coach Brian Daboll said that DeVito is expected to start Sunday's game against the Ravens, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
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.
Dec 5, 2024
Full practice Thursday
DeVito (right forearm) practiced fully Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
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.
Dec 4, 2024
Won't start Week 14
Giants head coach Brian Daboll said Wednesday that DeVito (forearm) may be ready to handle No. 2 duties versus the Saints on Sunday, but that Drew Lock will start the Week 14 contest, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.
ANALYSIS
DeVito will be limited 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 completed 21 of 31 pass attempts for just 189 yards, without a touchdown or interception.
Nov 28, 2024
Inactive, but emergency third QB
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Nov 28, 2024
Trending in wrong direction Thursday
DeVito (forearm) isn't expected to play Thursday at Dallas, Adam Schefter of ESPN and Ian Rapoport of NFL Network report.
ANALYSIS
DeVito didn't make an appearance on the Giants' Week 13 injury report until Tuesday due to a sore right forearm, which limited him that day and kept him out entirely Wednesday. He didn't travel with his teammates and stayed behind to have one last MRI to determine if anything was missed, but it also kept the door open for him to start Thursday's game, per Rapoport. Following Thursday's dueling reports from Schefter and Rapoport, DeVito appears to be trending in the wrong direction on that front, but he's also expected to throw pregame, which will be the determining factor for the Giants, according to Rapoport. Conceivably, DeVito could be active but serve as the backup to Drew Lock or even inactive but available as the emergency third QB behind Lock and Tim Boyle.
Nov 27, 2024
May start after all Thursday
DeVito (forearm), who is listed as questionable for Week 13 action, has a chance to start Thursday's game at Dallas, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Rapoport's report runs counter to one from Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com earlier Wednesday that DeVito was a long shot to be available Thursday. DeVito didn't travel with his teammates to Dallas to stay behind and have an MRI on his right forearm to determine if the medical staff may have missed something. The Giants plan to have DeVito see if there's less discomfort Thursday than there has been the last few days, and if his throwing session goes well pregame, he may be cleared to lead New York's offense. If that doesn't come to pass, though, DeVito would yield QB duties to Drew Lock.
Nov 27, 2024
Looks unlikely to start Thursday
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Nov 27, 2024
Iffy for Thanksgiving Day game
DeVito (forearm) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Cowboys, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
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.
Nov 26, 2024
Limited with forearm injury
DeVito (forearm) was limited in Tuesday's practice, Charlotte Carroll of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
DeVito was curiously left off the injury report Monday, but the Giants added him to it Tuesday, and coach Brian Daboll said DeVito is "not 100 percent" going to play Thursday versus Dallas, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. If DeVito is unable to go against the Cowboys, Drew Lock is expected to get the start after he took the extra reps in Tuesday's practice.
Nov 25, 2024
Not on Week 13 injury report
DeVito (undisclosed) wasn't listed on Monday's estimated practice report ahead of Thursday's game against the Cowboys.
ANALYSIS
DeVito was banged up late in Sunday's loss to the Bucs and had to come out of the game, but coach Brian Daboll said afterward that he was hopeful DeVito would be able to start Thursday. It would seem that will be the case, as DeVito avoided the injury report altogether Monday. The Dallas defense is likely a better one-for-one fantasy bet than DeVito in Week 13.
Nov 25, 2024
Banged up after Week 12 start
Giants head coach Brian Daboll said that he's "hopeful" DeVito will be able to start Thursday's game against the Cowboys "if he's healthy," Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
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 the loss, DeVito took four sacks, completed 21 of 31 pass attempts for a modest 189 yards and no touchdowns and added 32 yards on seven carries. The starting job looks like it will belong to DeVito for at least one more game if health prevails, 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.
Nov 24, 2024
Inconsistent in lopsided loss
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.
ANALYSIS
DeVito managed to stay away from any turnovers, but he took four sacks and wasn't able to lead the Giants to an points until the game was out of reach in the fourth quarter. The second-year signal-caller connected with Austin Hooper from 38 yards out for his one scoring toss, and he 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.
Nov 18, 2024
In line to start Sunday
DeVito is slated to start Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
With the Giants electing to replace Daniel Jones as the team's starting signal caller, DeVito -- who had been serving as New York's emergency No. 3 QB -- is in line to get the nod this coming weekend, rather than previous backup Drew Lock. With six teams on bye in Week 12, DeVito represents an option for fantasy managers in QB-heavy formats, as well as those in need of a short-term lineup plug in.
Nov 3, 2024
Emergency QB versus Washington
DeVito (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Commanders but will serve as the emergency third quarterback, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
DeVito won't count against the gameday roster limit, but he'll be eligible to enter the game if Daniel Jones and Drew Lock suffer injuries.
Oct 28, 2024
Emergency QB versus Pittsburgh
DeVito (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday Night Football against the Steelers, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
DeVito will once again operate as the team's emergency third quarterback in Week 8 against the Steelers. He'll only enter the game if Daniel Jones and Drew Lock go down with an injury.
Oct 13, 2024
Inactive Sunday night
DeVito (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday Night Football against the Bengals, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
New York's third quarterback is available as the emergency option if Daniel Jones and Drew Lock get hurt and are unable to continue. DeVito has yet to appear in a game this season.
Oct 6, 2024
Emergency option
DeVito (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Seahawks, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
As the emergency quarterback, DeVito will only see playing time Thursday if both Daniel Jones and Drew Lock were to sustain injuries that would force them off the field.
Sep 26, 2024
Emergency QB vs. Dallas
DeVito (coach's decision) is inactive but serving as the Giants' emergency quarterback for Thursday's game against the Cowboys, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
As the emergency quarterback, DeVito will only see playing time Thursday if both Daniel Jones and Drew Lock were to sustain injuries that would force them off the field.
Sep 15, 2024
Listed as emergency quarterback
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.
ANALYSIS
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 up sooner than later.
Sep 8, 2024
Tabbed as emergency QB
DeVito (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Vikings but is designated as the emergency third quarterback, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
DeVito was on the roster bubble after the team signed Drew Lock this offseason, who will serve as backup to Daniel Jones in Week 1. DeVito will serve as insurance in case of injury to either Jones or Lock.
Aug 24, 2024
Plays entire preseason finale
DeVito completed 14 of 27 passes for 103 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions in Saturday's 10-6 preseason loss to the Jets. He added five rushes for 48 yards.
ANALYSIS
The Giants opted not to play Daniel Jones or Drew Lock (hip), leaving DeVito to play the entire contest. He turned in an uneven performance, as he was sacked eight times and averaged an abysmal 3.8 yards per attempt. However, DeVito showed some resiliency and managed to move the ball with short passes and scrambles to lead two scoring drives. He'll enter the season as nothing better than the third quarterback on the depth chart, though it's unclear if he'll survive cutdown day on the roster.
Aug 8, 2024
Plays most of preseason opener
DeVito completed eight of 15 passes for 92 yards without a touchdown or interception in Thursday's 14-3 preseason win over the Lions. He added four rushing attempts for two yards.
ANALYSIS
Daniel Jones didn't suit up and Drew Lock exited late in the first quarter due to a hip injury, leaving DeVito to play the remainder of the game. DeVito proceeded to lead two touchdown drives in the second quarter, both of which were capped by Eric Gray rushing scores. While DeVito started six games as a rookie and looked marginally sharper than Lock on Thursday, the second-year quarterback is still expected to open the season third on the depth chart behind Jones and Lock. DeVito will likely see significant playing time in next Saturday's preseason game against the Texans.
Mar 13, 2024
Gets competition for backup gig
DeVito is slated to be joined by Drew Lock behind starting quarterback Daniel Jones (knee), Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
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.
Jan 8, 2024
Gets cameo in Week 18 win
DeVito completed both of his pass attempts for 14 yards in Sunday's 27-10 victory versus Philadelphia.
ANALYSIS
Tyrod Taylor started for New York for the second straight week, but DeVito took over for a series in the first quarter after the former suffered a thumb injury. DeVito completed a five-yard pass on that drive but wasn't able to lead New York to a first down, and Taylor returned for the team's next offensive series. DeVito got one more look in the third period and logged a nine-yard completion on his final pass attempt of the campaign. The rookie QB finished the season having completed 64.0 percent of his 178 pass attempts for 1,101 yards and an 8:3 TD:INT while rushing 36 times for 195 yards and a touchdown over nine games, including six starts. DeVito's opportunity to play this season was largely a result of injuries -- Daniel Jones tore the ACL in his right knee Week 9 and was lost for the remainder of the year, and Taylor sat out Weeks 9 to 14 with an injury to his rib cage. That said, DeVito provided a spark (and a good underdog story) at times after being pressed into action, and he has a strong chance o
Dec 27, 2023
Will back up Taylor Week 17
Coach Brian Daboll said Wednesday that Tyrod Taylor will start Sunday's game against the Rams, so DeVito will be relegated to a backup role.
ANALYSIS
DeVito started New York's previous six games but was benched for Taylor at halftime of Monday's 33-25 loss to the Eagles. The undrafted rookie has a solid 8:3 TD:INT overall but didn't throw a touchdown in either of his last two starts, paving the way for Taylor to reclaim the starting job heading into the Giants' penultimate game of the season.
Dec 25, 2023
Benched at halftime
DeVito completed nine of 16 passes for 55 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions before being benched at halftime in Monday's 33-25 loss to the Eagles.
ANALYSIS
DeVito struggled significantly in Week 15 and couldn't shake that heading into Monday's divisional matchup. He didn't turn the ball over but failed to push the ball down the field, which resulted in his longest completion going for only 14 yards while averaging just 3.4 yards per attempt. As a result, he was benched in favor of Tyrod Taylor, leaving the Giants' quarterback situation for a Week 17 matchup against the Rams ambiguous.
Dec 17, 2023
Roughed up by NO
DeVito completed 20 of 34 pass attempts for 177 yards with no touchdowns or turnovers while rushing for 36 yards on four attempts in Sunday's 24-6 loss to New Orleans.
ANALYSIS
The Giants' entire offense struggled to generate much of anything on the road against one of the league's top defensive units. DeVito felt the brunt of Sunday's thrashing after getting sacked seven times and absorbing a late hit on one of his four rushing attempts that left the quarterback laid out and needing medical attention. New York's popular undrafted rookie was able to return and finish the contest, but the end result was a mediocre fantasy line in a losing effort. Assuming DeVito suffered no ill effects from the borderline dirty hit, he will be back under center for another tough matchup against the Eagles next Monday.
Dec 12, 2023
Helps key Week 14 comeback
DeVito completed 17 of 21 passes for 158 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions while rushing 10 times for 71 yards in the Giants' 24-22 win over the Packers on Monday night.
ANALYSIS
DeVito was nearly perfect through the air and turned in a stellar rushing performance finishing just 15 yards shy of Saquon Barkley's team-leading total. The rookie signal-caller connected with six different targets overall and keyed a game-winning drive for New York by completing all four pass attempts for 53 yards, including a 32-yarder to Wan'Dale Robinson. DeVito now has a 5:0 TD:INT over his last three starts, completing 72.2 percent of his passes during that span as well. The Illinois product will now set his sights on a Week 15 road matchup against the Saints
Dec 5, 2023
To remain starter in Week 14
Coach Brian Daboll announced Tuesday that DeVito will be the Giants' starting quarterback Monday against the Packers, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.
ANALYSIS
In the wake of the Giants' Week 13 bye, the team designated Tyrod Taylor (ribs) for return from injured reserve Monday, raising some question marks about who may be under center for the team Week 14. But DeVito will continue to be New York's No. 1 QB, at least Sunday, even if Taylor is activated from IR ahead of the contest. In three starts prior to the bye, DeVito completed 49 of 78 passes for 523 yards, six touchdowns and one interception, rushed 13 times for 54 yards and fumbled twice (one lost).
Nov 26, 2023
Taking two-game win streak into bye
DeVito completed 17 of 25 passes for 191 yards and one touchdown in Sunday's 10-7 win over the Patriots. He added six rushing yards on five attempts and lost one of two fumbles.
ANALYSIS
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.

Three TDs in first NFL win
DeVito completed 18 of 26 passes for 246 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 31-19 win over Washington. He added seven yards on one rushing attempt.
ANALYSIS
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.

Back to full participation
DeVito (shoulder) practiced fully Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
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.
Nov 15, 2023
Dealing with shoulder issue
DeVito was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice by a left shoulder injury, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
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 (57.4 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 participation before the team potentially gives him a designation ahead of Sunday's game at Washington. At the moment, Matt Barkley is the only other quarterback 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.
Nov 15, 2023
Set for another start
Coach Brian Daboll said Wednesday that DeVito will start Sunday's game against the Commanders, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
DeVito was severely outmatched during New York's 49-17 loss to the Cowboys in Week 10, a game in which he threw for just 86 yards and two touchdowns with one interception, but added an encouraging 41 rushing yards on seven carries. The undrafted rookie will get at least one more chance to start, however, with Tyrod Taylor (ribs) not eligible to return from IR until after the Giants' Week 13 bye. Fantasy managers won't want to consider DeVito more than an emergency pivot option in leagues that start multiple quarterbacks, though.
Nov 12, 2023
Overmatched in Week 10 loss
DeVito completed 14 of 27 passes for 86 yards and two touchdowns with one interception in Sunday's 49-17 loss to the Cowboys. He added 41 rushing yards on seven carries.
ANALYSIS
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.
Nov 8, 2023
Named Week 10 starter
Coach Brian Daboll confirmed Wednesday that DeVito will start Sunday at Dallas, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
DeVito will get a chance to start versus the Cowboys with Daniel Jones (knee) having suffered a season-ending ACL tear and Tyrod Taylor (ribs) not eligible to return from IR until Week 14 against the Packers, at the earliest. Veteran Matt Barkley, who was signed off the practice squad Wednesday, will operate as DeVito's backup, but it will be the undrafted rookie out of Illinois who leads New York's offense. In relief of Jones during the Giants' blowout loss to the Raiders in Week 9, DeVito completed 15 of 20 pass attempts for 175 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions while rushing four times for 17 yards.
Nov 6, 2023
Likely headed for Week 10 start
Head coach Brian Daboll suggested that DeVito is in line to start the Giants' Week 10 game against the Cowboys after Daniel Jones (knee) suffered a season-ending ACL tear in Sunday's loss to the Raiders, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.
ANALYSIS
Though he didn't explicitly confirm that DeVito will start against Dallas, Daboll said his focus right now is on "getting DeVito ready to go," as well as getting practice-squad quarterback Matt Barkley up to speed with the team's playbook. Assuming Barkley is elevated from the practice squad, he'll most likely serve as a backup to DeVito, who completed 15 of 20 pass attempts for 175 yards, a touchdown and two interceptions while gaining 17 rushing yards on four carries following Jones' departure in the first half Sunday. Though he was solid enough from an efficiency standpoint with a 75 percent completion rate and 8.8 yards per pass attempt, DeVito bore some responsibility for the six sacks he took on the day by not getting the ball out fast enough. The undrafted rookie out of Illinois has shown some rushing ability in his two appearances to date, but he still appears unrefined as a passer, and his shortcomings could prompt the Giants to lean even more heavily on Saquon Barkley. If DeVito does get the Week 10

Takes over for injured starter
DeVito completed 15 of 20 pass attempts for 175 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions while rushing four times for 17 yards after taking over for Daniel Jones (knee) in the first half of Sunday's 30-6 loss to Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Initial reports fear that Jones tore his ACL after going down on the first play of the second quarter in his return from a neck issue that held him out of last week's loss to the Jets, as reported by Ian Rapoport and Mike Garofolo of NFL Network. DeVito took over under center after being signed from the team's practice squad earlier in the week. The undrafted free agent out of Illinois performed adequately given the circumstances, but it did not result in a standout fantasy performance. Assuming Monday's MRIs confirm that Jones will be sidelined for an extended period, DeVito would be the defacto starter against the Cowboys next Sunday with primary backup Tyrod Taylor (ribs) already on IR. Veteran Matt Barkley -- who is currently on New York's practice squad -- could also be an option if the Giants do not bring in competition from outside of the organization.

Serving as No. 2 QB
DeVito will serve as New York's backup quarterback Sunday, Art Stapleton of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
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.
Oct 31, 2023
Inked to active roster
The Giants signed DeVito of their practice squad Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
The Giants elevated DeVito for each of their last three games, meaning they had to sign him to get him back on the active roster. There's a non-zero chance he'll be the team's starting quarterback Sunday at Las Vegas now that Tyrod Taylor is week-to-week with a rib cage injury. However, Daniel Jones (neck) was cleared for contact this past Sunday, so how he handles on-field reps this week likely will be the determining factor behind who among Jones and DeVito will be New York's No. 1 QB in Week 9.
Oct 30, 2023
Back to practice squad
DeVito reverted to the Giants' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
ANALYSIS
DeVito entered Sunday's game against the Jets in the second quarter after Tyrod Taylor went down with a rib cage injury. While DeVito eventually played 50 of 75 offensive snaps, he almost primarily was a handoff artist, finishing Week 8 with minus-1 yard on 2-for-7 passing and four carries for 12 yards and one touchdown. As for the backfield, Saquon Barkley and Matt Breida combined for 41 rushes for 141 yards. There's a chance DeVito will be called upon to start Week 9 at Las Vegas with Taylor considered week-to-week, but Daniel Jones, the Giants' starting signal-caller when healthy, was cleared for contact Sunday, so he may get the nod if the team deems him able to handle the rigors of game action.
Oct 29, 2023
Barely throws after Taylor injury
DeVito completed two of seven passes for minus-1 yard while rushing four times for 12 yards and a touchdown after replacing Tyrod Taylor (ribs) in Sunday's 13-10 overtime loss to the Jets.
ANALYSIS
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.
Oct 28, 2023
Set to backup Taylor again
The Giants elevated DeVito from the practice squad Saturday.
ANALYSIS
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.
Oct 23, 2023
Reverts to practice squad
DeVito reverted to the Giants' practice squad Monday.
ANALYSIS
DeVito was activated for the second straight week to serve as Tyrod Taylor backup versus the Commanders with Daniel Jones (neck) out again. The rookie undrafted free agent has yet to play a snap but could be activated again next week if Jones is unable to make his return.
Oct 21, 2023
Promoted Saturday
Devito was elevated to the Giants' active roster ahead of Sunday's game against the Commanders, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Devito's elevation hints that quarterback Daniel Jones won't be available for the second consecutive week. The 25-year-old signed with the Giants after going undrafted this past offseason, and he'll likely backup Tyrod Taylor during Sunday's contest.
Oct 16, 2023
Back to practice squad
DeVito reverted to the Giants' practice squad Monday.
ANALYSIS
DeVito operated as Tyrod Taylor's backup at quarterback in Sunday's narrow 14-9 loss to the Bills. If Daniel Jones (neck) is unable to go again in Week 7 versus Washington, DeVito could once again be elevated to the active roster.
Oct 14, 2023
Set to be backup Sunday
The Giants elevated DeVito from the practice squad Saturday, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.
ANALYSIS
The move comes with Daniel Jones (neck) ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Bills while Tyrod Taylor gets the start against his old team. DeVito signed with the Giants as an undrafted free agent on April 30 after throwing for 2,650 yards, 15 touchdowns and four interceptions with 69.6 percent completion in his final season at Illinois. He joined the team's practice squad on Aug. 30 after being let go ahead of the 53-man roster deadline.
Aug 29, 2023
Won't make team
DeVito was waived by the Giants on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
DeVito joined the squad as an undrafted free agent out of Illinois. Although he was solid in the preseason, the 25-year-old was unable to secure the No. 2 spot held by Tyrod Taylor behind starter Daniel Jones. He'll likely be a candidate for a practice squad spot.
Aug 19, 2023
Looking good in preseason play
DeVito completed nine of 11 pass attempts for 88 yards Friday in an exhibition victory versus Carolina. He added two yards on five rushes.
ANALYSIS
DeVito didn't toss any touchdown passes in the win, but he also didn't turn the ball over and showed efficiency with just two incompletions. The undrafted rookie did fine as well in the Giants' preseason opener last week, going 15-for-24 on pass attempts with one touchdown and one interception. Veteran Tyrod Taylor is locked in as Daniel Jones' backup for the coming campaign, so DeVito is likely playing for a spot on New York's practice squad.
Apr 30, 2023
Slated to join Big Blue
The Giants are expected to sign DeVito as an undrafted free agent, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.
ANALYSIS
DeVito was thrust into starting action for Syracuse during the 2019 season, completing 63.2 percent of his passes for 2,360 yards with a 19:5 TD:INT, but he was relegated to backup duties in back-to-back campaigns before transferring to Illinois in 2022. He showcased his skills in a full-time role, posting a 69.6 completion percentage for 2,650 yards with a 15:4 TD:INT. DeVito will be the No. 3 quarterback on the Giants' depth chart behind Daniel Jones and Tyrod Taylor.
