Wed Nov 27 17:40:00 UTC 2024: **Giants’ Starting QB DeVito Questionable for Thanksgiving Day Showdown Against Cowboys**
EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ – The New York Giants face a crucial Thanksgiving Day matchup against the Dallas Cowboys with significant uncertainty at the quarterback position. Starting quarterback Tommy DeVito, making his first start of the season after the release of Daniel Jones, is listed as questionable with a right forearm injury. Reports indicate his participation is highly unlikely.
DeVito, who suffered four sacks and nine hits in Sunday’s loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, did not travel with the team to Dallas for further evaluation. While expected to rejoin the team later, his absence leaves the Giants relying on backup Drew Lock, who has 23 career starts, to lead the offense. Tim Boyle would serve as the backup should Lock take the field.
Head coach Brian Daboll expressed hope for DeVito’s availability, but acknowledged it’s not a certainty. DeVito briefly left Sunday’s game after an incompletion, but returned after a single play. He finished the game completing 21 of 31 passes for 189 yards. The game’s outcome, and the Giants’ Thanksgiving performance, now hinges on the health of their embattled young quarterback.
