The New York Giants have signed quarterback Tommy DeVito to their active roster, according to agent Sean Stellato. DeVito's signing comes as the Giants also added Matt Barkley to their practice squad. Daniel Jones remains the starting quarterback, with DeVito as QB2 and Barkley as QB3. Barkley's signing provides depth after Tyrod Taylor's injury.
It seems pretty clear from speaking with Brian Daboll and Mike Kafka that Tommy DeVito will be the backup quarterback for the fourth straight week. The Giants signed veteran Matt Barkley to the practice squad this week.

By adding Matt Barkley to PS they can elevate him 3x on gamedays as QB2. By having Tommy DeVito on the 53 they can designate him as an emergency third QB.
