The New York Giants are on to their Plan D at the quarterback position.
Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Tuesday that the Giants signed veteran QB Jacob Eason, who worked out for them earlier in the day, to their practice squad. The move comes after the season-ending ACL tear suffered by starter Daniel Jones in Week 9.
Eason, a 2020 draftee, has bounced around several different teams to this point of his NFL career. He has already been on Indianapolis (the team that drafted him), Seattle, Carolina and San Francisco, making the Giants his fifth total stop. Eason only has two total game appearances under his belt thus far, neither of which was a start.
Unfortunately for the 2-7 Giants, they don’t have a lot of better options right now with Jones done for the year and his backup also recently going on injured reserve. That leaves undrafted rookie Tommy DeVito (who has thrown for one touchdown and two interceptions in two games for the Giants so far) and now Eason to possibly contend for the starting role.
