The start of the post-Daniel Jones<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>era did not go well for the Giants. The team\u2019s lopsided Week 12 loss will not lead to another change on the quarterback depth chart, however. \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Head coach\u00a0Brian Daboll\u00a0<\/strong>said after Sunday\u2019s 30-7 loss that\u00a0Tommy DeVito<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>will get the start on Thanksgiving if healthy. DeVito was forced to briefly exit the game during New York\u2019s final drive before returning. His status will be worth watching closely over the coming days, but Daboll said on Monday (via NFL Network\u2019s Mike Garafolo<\/a>) he is \u201chopeful\u201d DeVito will be available on a quick turnaround.<\/p>\n

Jones was benched in the wake of New York\u2019s loss against Carolina in Munich. That move did not come as a total surprise given the Giants\u2019 record and the looming 2025 injury guarantee in Jones\u2019 pact. Eyebrows were raised, though, when it was DeVito \u2013 not Drew Lock<\/a> <\/strong>\u2013 who got the nod for Week 12<\/a>. Lock had dressed as the backup all season, with DeVito serving as New York\u2019s emergency third quarterback.<\/p>\n

Lock inked a one-year, $5MM deal in free agency to operate as the Giants\u2019 QB2. Despite that, Jones\u2019 benching paved the way for DeVito to return to the lineup after he stepped in late in 2023. The former UDFA posted underwhelming numbers during his audition period last year, and on Sunday he threw for 189 scoreless yards at an average of 6.1 yards per attempt. He has the backing of the coaching staff, however, and Garafolo reports DeVito himself believes he will be at full strength for Thanksgiving\u2019s contest against the Cowboys.<\/p>\n

With the Giants sitting at 2-9 on the year, they are on track to have the chance to draft a new franchise passer<\/a> this spring. Their spot in the order will depend in part on their showings over the coming weeks, including DeVito\u2019s ability to lead the offense to improved performances compared to Sunday. A matchup with Dallas could provide a strong opportunity to do so, but struggles could give Daboll increased incentive to turn to Lock.<\/p>\n

Plenty of speculation has been tied to the future of Daboll and Giants general manager\u00a0Joe Schoen<\/strong>, although both could remain in place through the offseason<\/a>. The decision to start DeVito had previously been tied to the potential of Daboll being on the hot seat, but for at least the time being that move is on track to be repeated.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
