New York Giants backup quarterback Tyrod Taylor will not return for Sunday’s game against the New York Jets after suffering an apparent rib injury in the first half of the contest.
Taylor, who is filling in for Daniel Jones for the third consecutive week, was taken to an area hospital for further evaluation after he was taken down near the sideline by Quinton Jefferson and C.J. Mosley, the Giants said.

He was preparing to make a throw under pressure when the ball slipped out of his hands. As he recovered the ball, Taylor was taken down hard.
He was seen on the ground in apparent pain before he left the field and headed straight to the Giants' locker room.
He was officially ruled out shortly after.

Tommy DeVito, an undrafted rookie out of Syracuse and a New Jersey native, replaced Taylor and wasted no time in making a statement. Halfway through the third quarter on third-and-goal, he ran the ball into the end zone for his first NFL touchdown.
