DeVito (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the Patriots' emergency third-string quarterback against the Raiders on Sunday.

EDGE 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.

The Patriots were awarded a waiver claim for DeVito on Wednesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

EDGE 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.

The Giants waived DeVito on Tuesday, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.

EDGE 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 a QB-needy team could claim him on waivers.

DeVito completed 17 of 20 passes for 198 yards and three touchdowns in Thursday's 42-10 preseason win over the Patriots.

EDGE 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.

The Giants re-signed DeVito on Saturday, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.

EDGE 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.

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.

EDGE 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.

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

DeVito (concussion) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

EDGE 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.

DeVito (concussion) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday, Patricia Traina of SI.com reports.

EDGE 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.

DeVito (concussion) is taking part in drills during Wednesday's practice, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

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.
