Undrafted underdog story Tommy ¡°Cutlets¡± was reduced to Tommy Cuts by the New York Giants on Tuesday.

Backup quarterback Tommy DeVito is the odd man out in New York, multiple outlets reported, but the Giants could bring him back as part of their practice squad prior to Week 1 of the regular season next week.

New York has 10-time Pro Bowl selection Russell Wilson in line to be its starter, fellow veteran Jameis Winston as the primary backup and first-round draft choice Jaxson Dart on the roster.

NFL teams were required to reach the NFL regular-season roster limit of 53 players on the active roster by Tuesday. Most started training camp with the maximum offseason limit of 90-man rosters.

DeVito, a New Jersey native, became a fan favorite since joining the team as an undrafted rookie in 2023. He has completed 65.3% of his passes for 1,358 yards with eight touchdowns and three interceptions in 12 career games (eight starts).

If Mike Vrabel was looking to make a statement move in his first season as head coach of the New England Patriots, meanwhile, he certainly did so on Tuesday.

As the deadline to make the roster limits approached, the Patriots cut guard Cole Strange, a first-round pick in 2022.

Though offensive line is viewed as one of New England¡¯s weaker areas, the club parted ways with a player who started 29 games in three seasons with the Patriots.

According to reports, 2025 third-round pick Jared Wilson is expected to start at left guard when the Patriots open their season at home against the Las Vegas Raiders on Sept. 7.

Strange started all 17 games as a rookie but was limited to 10 games ¡ª all starts ¡ª in 2023 because of a knee injury. He also missed the first 14 games of last season still recovering from the injury.

New England selected Strange with the 29th pick out of Chattanooga in 2022 ¡ª a pick that many pundits viewed with skepticism when it was made.
