The New York Giants are expected to replace Daniel Jones as their starting quarterback after slumping to a fifth straight defeat earlier this month.
According to ESPN’sAdam Schefter, Tommy DeVito is set to come in for Jones and start the Giants’ Week 12 fixture against the Tampa Bay Buccaneersat MetLife Stadium this coming Sunday.
Brian Daboll’s team are enduring another miserable campaign so far, having won just two of their opening 10 fixtures while losing their last five.
Jones, who suffered a torn ACL almost exactly one year ago, has failed to make an impact since returning from that injury, ranking 19th in the league for passing yards with a mere 2,070 and 28th for pass completion on just over 63 percent.
The 27-year-old also has the joint-27th highest number of touchdown passes this season with a mere eight through 10 appearances.

Tommy DeVito is expected to get the nod when the Giants face the Buccaneers on Sunday
With their once faint hopes of making it into the playoffs now dead and buried, Daboll is planning to mix things up and throw DeVito in at quarterback against the Bucs this weekend.
The former Illinois college star, 26, is in his second season in New York after being signed by the Giants as an undrafted free agent in April 2023.
He made nine appearances in his rookie season, throwing nine touchdowns for 1,101 yards while completing 64 percent of his passes.
