Former Syracuse QB Tommy DeVito opted out of the Giants’ game against the Ravens

East Rutherford – New York Giants quarterback Tommy DeVito suffered a concussion in the first half against the Baltimore Ravens and did not return in the second half.

The Giants announced that DeVito was being evaluated for a concussion as the teams left the field at halftime with the Ravens leading 21-7. He was eliminated at the start of the second half.

On the Giants’ second-to-last possession, DeVito led a 13-play, 80-yard drive that Devin Singletary capped with a 2-yard run. Near the end of the drive, Ravens defensive lineman Nnamdi Madubuike was called for a roughing the passer penalty, although it is not certain that this was the play that injured DeVito.

Recently signed Tim Boyle took the final snap of the first half — his first with the Giants — and initiated the second.

DeVito finished 10 of 13 for 68 yards. He was fired twice.

Boyle, who began his NFL career with the Packers in 2019, is the fourth quarterback to take snaps for the Giants this season. Longtime starter Daniel Jones was released on November 22 after sitting on the bench. DeVito started against Tampa Bay and injured his forearm. Drew Lock started the next two games but injured his heel against New Orleans last week. DeVito started Sunday before Boyle took over.

DeVito played three seasons at Syracuse University and took over the role of Orange quarterback after Eric Dungey. DeVito was eventually replaced by Garrett Shrader and transferred to Illinois for his final college season.
