Giants' Tommy DeVito may have secured roster spot because of this NFLPA vote

It looks like New York Giants fans will be seeing backup quarterback Tommy DeVito on the sidelines again this season.

Official 53-man roster cuts won't be announced until Tuesday at 4 p.m. ET, but a rule revision vetoed by the NFL Players Association on Monday may have clinched DeVito a spot.

According to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, the players association declined to approve a tweak to the emergency third quarterback rule which would allow teams to call up a practice squad quarterback an unlimited amount of times during the season.

Therefore, the rule reverts to its 2023 version which requires the emergency quarterback to be on the 53-man roster.

With starting quarterback Daniel Jones returning from an ACL injury and backup Drew Lock not practicing since injuring his hip in a preseason game on Aug. 8, DeVito should find himself on the 53-man roster come Tuesday afternoon.

DeVito entered the Big Apple's spotlight in the latter stages of the 2023-24 season after injuries claimed Jones and backup Tyrod Taylor.

The 26-year-old New Jersey native, dubbed "Tommy Cutlets" by fans, won three consecutive games as a rookie starter last season - the first in franchise history since Phil Simms won four consecutive as a rookie in 1979.

However, if DeVito takes the field during the regular season this year, then something will have gone terribly wrong for New York yet again.
