In a game against the Baltimore Ravens, New York Giants quarterback Tommy DeVito was forced to leave the field after suffering an injury. The concussion occurred during the first half. It left the team with limited options at quarterback for the remainder of the game.
Here are all the details on Tommy DeVito’s injury.
How did Tommy DeVito get injured?
Tommy DeVito’s time on the field took an unfortunate turn during the New York Giants’ game when he suffered a concussion in the first half. The injury occurred late in the second quarter after DeVito was sacked by Ravens linebacker Odafe Oweh. Although he stayed in briefly to see one more play, the quarterback was ultimately ruled out at halftime. He did not return to the game.
With DeVito sidelined, the Giants were forced to rely on quarterback Tim Boyle for the remainder of the game. Boyle became the only active quarterback available since Drew Lock was previously ruled out due to a heel injury. DeVito’s injury adds to the growing challenges for the Giants as they struggle through a tough NFL season.
When will Tommy DeVito return to play for Giants?
There is no clear timeline yet for Tommy DeVito’s return to the field after suffering an injury.
Following the game, Giants head coach Brian Daboll explained that he had spoken with DeVito during the first half and noticed something wasn’t right. The coach said, “He came off, I talked to him a little bit, and right before we were about to go out there for that two-minute drive, I went over to him and talked about a particular play, we had a couple of timeouts, and I kind of saw his eyes and I asked the trainer to come over to take a look at him.” (Yahoo Sports)
The team will follow the concussion protocol. DeVito’s return will depend on his recovery and clearance from medical staff.
