The Giants have signed a veteran quarterback to add some needed depth.
Matt Barkley signed with the Giants’ practice squad on Tuesday after undrafted rookie Tommy DeVito was signed to the active roster.
While starter Daniel Jones was cleared for contact after missing three games with a neck injury and is expected to start this Sunday against the Raiders, backup quarterback Tyrod Taylor suffered a rib injury during last Sunday’s loss to the Jets.
DeVito took over in the second quarter and finished the game.
Barkley, 33, hasn’t appeared in an NFL game since 2020 and was most recently with the Bills, who released him before the start of this season.
He appeared in seven games for the Bills from 2018-20 and is familiar with Brian Daboll’s offense from their time together in Buffalo.
Barkley has since spent time with the Titans, Panthers and Falcons.
Barkley saw his most action during the 2016 season with the Bears, when he went 1-5 in six starts, throwing for 1,611 yards, eight touchdowns and 14 interceptions.
