Giants bench Daniel Jones – NBC Sports

Giants head coach Brian Daboll said the team would use the bye week to evaluate all options at quarterback and have reportedly made their decision.

According to multiple reports, the Giants will bench Daniel Jones for their Week 12 game against the Buccaneers. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that Tommy DeVito is expected to take over as the team’s starter.

The move comes after Jones threw two interceptions in an overtime loss to the Panthers in Germany in Week 10. It was the latest in a string of terrible performances for the 2019 first-round pick, and the $23 million injury guarantee in his 2025 contract makes the need for a change even more pressing for the Giants.

It’s hard to imagine anyone trading for Jones’ contract, so the quarterback will almost certainly be released this offseason. The rest of the Giants schedule will determine whether Daboll, General Manager Joe Schoen and others follow him out the door.
