New York Giants quarterback Tyrod Taylor was sidelined with a rib injury in the game against the New York Jets.
The New York Giants’ game against the New York Jets was hampered when quarterback Tyrod Taylor was forced to leave with a rib injury. Taylor sustained the injury in the second quarter after being tackled and landed awkwardly on his right side. He was clearly in discomfort and was brought to the Giants’ locker room for additional treatment.
As a result of Taylor’s injury, the Giants’ offense was handed over to third-string quarterback Tommy DeVito. This abrupt change in quarterback came at a critical juncture in the game, when the Giants faced a third-and-9 situation from their 22-yard line. DeVito turned the ball over to running back Saquon Barkley, but the Giants failed to convert on third down.
This situation exacerbated the Giants’ quarterback troubles, since their starter, Daniel Jones, was sidelined for the third week in a row due to a neck injury. With Taylor gone, the Giants were forced to rely on an undrafted rookie, Tommy DeVito, who had been promoted to the active roster due to Jones’ injury.
DeVito, a rookie in the NFL, had played four seasons as a backup at Syracuse before moving to Illinois, where he took over as starter in 2022. Despite his lack of experience, DeVito stepped onto the field and tried his first NFL pass, which tight end Daniel Bellinger dropped.
Taylor’s departure from the game was announced by the Giants before halftime, and he was transferred to a hospital for further medical treatment. At the moment of Taylor’s injury, the Jets were up 7-3.
This event brought another degree of complication to a game that was already marred by the absence of vital starting quarterbacks, as both Daniel Jones and Zach Wilson were absent from their respective teams’ starting lineups.
