Wed Nov 27 16:30:11 UTC 2024: ## Giants’ Backup QB DeVito’s Injury Clouds Thanksgiving Game Against Cowboys
**East Rutherford, NJ** – The New York Giants’ hopes for a Thanksgiving Day upset against the Dallas Cowboys are clouded by the uncertain status of backup quarterback Tommy DeVito. DeVito, who has taken over the starting role in the absence of injured Daniel Jones, is dealing with a hand injury, the severity of which remains unclear.
Insider Art Stapleton reported on X (formerly Twitter) that the short week and the injury’s intensity make DeVito’s availability for Sunday’s game questionable. While a longer turnaround wouldn’t be a problem, the quick turnaround between games leaves his participation uncertain.
DeVito, a local favorite with Northern New Jersey roots, impressed last season and helped the Giants secure a few additional wins. Currently sitting at 2-9, the Giants have one of the worst records in the NFL, making a strong showing crucial for draft positioning, particularly in securing a franchise quarterback. For now, however, DeVito aims to give Giants fans, across the New York-New Jersey area, a few more moments to cheer for.
Meanwhile, Daniel Jones, who started six games last season despite a torn ACL, is sidelined for the remainder of the season with his injury. While Jones briefly led the Giants to a three-game winning streak last year, his absence underscores the Giants’ struggles and heightens the pressure on DeVito to perform. The team’s playoff hopes hinge on his ability to play Sunday.
