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: In line to start Sunday
Rotowire
DeVito is slated to start Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
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 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.

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.

Giants' Tommy DeVito: Plays entire preseason finale
Rotowire
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.
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.

Giants' Tommy DeVito: Gets competition for backup gig
Rotowire
DeVito will face competition from free-agent pickup Drew Lock for the top backup job behind starting quarterback Daniel Jones (knee) in 2024, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
According to Brady Henderson of ESPN.com, Lock is receiving a one-year, $5 million deal, an investment that likely signals that the Giants are counting on him to win the No. 2 role over DeVito, a 2023 undrafted free agent. As a rookie last season, 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.

Giants' Tommy DeVito: Gets cameo in Week 18 win
Rotowire
DeVito completed both of his pass attempts for 14 yards in Sunday's 27-10 victory versus Philadelphia.
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 quarter 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 9-14 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 of working as Jones' backup next year with Taylor a free agent and likely set to land elsewhere.

Giants' Tommy DeVito: Taking two-game win streak into bye
Rotowire
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.
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.
