TOMMY DeVITO TO START AGAINST PACKERS…
Head Coach Brian Daboll announced on Tuesday that quarterback Tommy DeVito will start against the Green Bay Packers on Monday night. Tyrod Taylor will be the back-up quarterback. Taylor is expected to be officially activated from Injured Reserve this week.

“I think Tommy’s done a good job; he’s improved in each of the games he’s played,” said Daboll. “I thought he played well the last two games, made good decisions, was accurate with the football and earned the right to play… Went back, watched all the tape, thought he played two games, good games, and obviously, things we can all work on. I thought he earned the right to play.”

GIANTS CUT TWO QUARTERBACKS…
On Monday, the New York Giants waived quarterback Matt Barkley from the 53-man roster and terminated the Practice Squad contract of quarterback Jacob Eason.
