Overview

  • New York placed the 27-year-old on waivers Tuesday as teams trimmed to 53 players, according to multiple reports.
  • Russell Wilson is slated to start, with Jameis Winston as the primary backup and first-round pick Jaxson Dart also on the 53-man roster.
  • The Giants considered keeping four quarterbacks but chose to preserve depth elsewhere, and Brian Daboll said DeVito did everything asked of him.
  • DeVito closed the preseason by completing 17 of 20 passes for 198 yards and three touchdowns in a 42-10 win over the Patriots.
  • If unclaimed, he is a candidate for the Giants’ practice squad, with limited trade interest reported in recent days.
