Tommy DeVito, a former starting quarterback at Illinois, was elevated from backup to the Giants' new starter by coach Brian Daboll. The demotion of Jones to the team's No. 3 quarterback role also moved Drew Lock into the backup role.

The Giants are turning to Tommy DeVito instead of Drew Lock with Daniel Jones’ Giants career likely over after being benched coming out of the team’s Week 11 bye. The Post’s Paul Schwartz explained that the Giants are taking the long-term view with this move since Lock will almost certainly not be on the roster next season.
