Giants Make Quarterback Decision as Tyrod Taylor Returns to Practice
Giants quarterback Tommy DeVito will remain the team’s starter for Monday night’s game against the Packers, even as veteran Tyrod Taylor returns to practice this week, coach Brian Daboll told reporters on Tuesday. It will be DeVito’s fourth consecutive start.
DeVito began the season as New York’s third-string quarterback, but became the primary backup to Taylor, who was elevated as the starter in October when Daniel Jones hurt his neck. Even once Jones returned to the lineup in early November, DeVito remained the backup when Taylor went on injured reserve for a rib issue.
Jones returned to the field Nov. 5 but suffered a season-ending ACL tear in his right knee. DeVito has been entrenched as the starter ever since and will continue in that role for the time being. Taylor will serve as DeVito’s backup on Monday.
In five games this season, DeVito has completed 62.9% of his passes for 697 yards, seven touchdowns and three interceptions.
The Giants host the Packers at 8:15 p.m. ET on Monday.
