New York Giants quarterback Tommy DeVito will start in the team's Week 11 matchup against the Washington Commanders, head coach Brian Daboll confirmed Wednesday.
"I think he's a good young quarterback to work with. Try to improve him this week from last week. ... He's done a good job improving," Daboll said, according to Jordan Raanan of ESPN.
Daboll added that DeVito is dealing with a shoulder injury but is healthy enough to start, per Pat Leonard of the NY Daily News.
DeVito made his first career start in the team's 49-17 loss to the Dallas Cowboys in Week 10. The young signal-caller struggled to move the ball consistently, completing 14 passes for just 86 yards with two touchdowns and one interception.
The 25-year-old has played in three games this year, as he replaced an injured Tyrod Taylor in Week 8 and was forced into action when Daniel Jones suffered a torn ACL in Week 9.
New York's injury woes could get worse, as wide receiver Jalin Hyatt, cornerback Adoree' Jackson, and edge rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux are in concussion protocol, Dabbol said.
