Tommy DeVito in concussion protocol as Giants sort through QB options

Tim Boyle

The New York Giants’ quarterback situation remains in flux, with head coach Brian Daboll announcing Monday that Tommy DeVito is in concussion protocol and Drew Lock is still recovering from heel and left elbow injuries.

“… We’ll see where these guys are at each day, and Wednesday, hopefully, they’ll be ready to go,” Daboll said at his press conference.

DeVito started Sunday’s home game against the Baltimore Ravens and was injured late in the second quarter. He exited after completing 10 of 13 passes for 68 yards in the 35-14 loss in East Rutherford, N.J.

Tim Boyle, who had bounced between the practice squad and active roster since the New York signed him in November, replaced DeVito for the remainder of the game and finished 12 of 24 for 123 yards, one touchdown and one interception in his Giants debut.

Daboll was asked if Boyle could be the starter when the Giants (2-12) visit the Atlanta Falcons (6-7) on Sunday.

“Well, it depends on how these other guys are health-wise, too,” Daboll said. “Again, I thought (Boyle) made some nice throws. He was decisive with the football. He was ready to go. He was prepared. He’s worked extremely hard since he’s been here. He made the most of his opportunity, the chance he got to be in there.”

The Giants have used four different quarterbacks this season, as longtime starter Daniel Jones was benched and later released on Nov. 22. DeVito got a start but injured his forearm, and Lock started two games before hurting his heel against New Orleans on Dec. 8.

DeVito, 26, has played in three games this season (two starts) and is 31 of 44 for 257 yards and no touchdowns or interceptions.

He played in nine games as an undrafted rookie last season, starting six and going 3-3 with 1,101 passing yards, eight TDs and three picks.

Lock, 28, is in his first season with the Giants and is 46-for-90 passing for 414 yards, no TDs and two interceptions in five games (two starts).

The Denver Broncos selected Lock in the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft. He played three seasons for the Broncos (2019-21) before they traded him to the Seattle Seahawks in March 2022. He has passed for 5,697 yards with a 58.8 percent completion rate, 28 TDs and 25 interceptions in 33 career games (25 starts).

Boyle, 30, has played parts of six seasons for six teams, including Miami earlier this season. He appeared in two games with the Dolphins and one for the Giants for a combined 27-of-50 passing for 276 yards, one TD and one pick.

He has passed for 1,210 yards and five TDs against 13 interceptions in 23 games (five starts) in 23 career games (five starts).
