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.
EDGE Analysis
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.

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.
EDGE 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.

DeVito (forearm) isn't expected to play Thursday at Dallas, Adam Schefter of ESPN and Ian Rapoport of NFL Network report.
EDGE 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.

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.
EDGE Analysis
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.

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.
EDGE 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.

DeVito (forearm) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Cowboys, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
EDGE 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.

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.
EDGE Analysis
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.

DeVito (undisclosed) wasn't listed on Monday's estimated practice report ahead of Thursday's game against the Cowboys.
EDGE 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.

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.
EDGE 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 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.

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.
EDGE Analysis
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.
