Giants Turn to Tommy DeVito, Add Depth to Secondary: News & Rumors

In this full episode of "2 Giants Goofballs: New York Giants News & Updates," host Rob dives deep into the latest developments surrounding Big Blue as they prepare for a tough matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. The Giants' quarterback situation takes center stage, with Head Coach Brian Daboll announcing that Tommy DeVito will get the start this week. DeVito, who has completed 21 of 31 passes for 189 yards over two appearances this season, will step in as Drew Lock remains sidelined with a walking boot. If Lock is unable to suit up as backup, Tim Boyle, recently re-signed to the practice squad, will likely fill the role.

The episode also highlights the Giants’ efforts to bolster their depleted secondary. With Tre Hawkins III out due to injury, Greg Stroman has been called up to the active roster. Stroman, who previously stepped in for Deonte Banks earlier this season, could see significant snaps with the team facing a barrage of injuries in the defensive backfield.

In addition, the Giants have been busy making signings. Cornerback Divaad Wilson, nicknamed “Newt,” joins the team, bringing his experience from UCF and a brief stint with the Cardinals. Wilson has shown promise but is yet to carve out a substantial role in the NFL. Similarly, the Giants added Ekow Boye-Doe and Azizi Hearn to their practice squad, both young defensive backs aiming to make an impact despite limited opportunities in their careers thus far.

The defensive line also sees reinforcement with the signing of Ross Blacklock to the practice squad. Blacklock, a former second-round pick, has struggled to find consistent success in the league but brings raw talent and a strong first step that could prove valuable in certain situations.

Rob also discusses the Giants’ workout with Stephen Gilmore Jr., the younger brother of five-time Pro Bowler Stephon Gilmore. While the Giants haven’t signed him, the workout signals their continued focus on addressing depth concerns in the secondary.

This episode provides a comprehensive look at the Giants’ roster moves and how these changes could impact their performance against a formidable Ravens squad. Rob breaks down each signing, evaluates the new players' potential contributions, and analyzes the challenges the team faces heading into Week 14.
