DeVito reverted to the Giants' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
EDGE 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.

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.
EDGE 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.

DeVito reverted to the Giants' practice squad Monday.
EDGE 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.

DeVito was elevated to the Giants' active roster ahead of Sunday's game against the Commanders, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
DeVito's elevation hints that quarterback Daniel Jones won't be available for the second consecutive week. The 25-year-old DeVito signed with the Giants after going undrafted this past offseason, and he'll likely back up Tyrod Taylor during Sunday's contest.

DeVito reverted to the Giants' practice squad Monday.
EDGE 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.

The Giants elevated DeVito from the practice squad Saturday, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.
EDGE 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 April 30 after throwing for 2,650 yards, 15 touchdowns and four interceptions with a 69.6 percent completion rate in his final season at Illinois. He joined the team's practice squad Aug. 30 after being let go ahead of the 53-man roster deadline.

DeVito signed with the Giants' practice squad Wednesday, Bob Brookover of NJ.com reports.

DeVito was waived by the Giants on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
EDGE 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. DeVito will likely be a candidate for a practice squad spot.

DeVito completed nine of 11 pass attempts for 88 yards Friday in an exhibition victory versus Carolina. He added two yards on five rushes.
EDGE 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.
