Tyrod Taylor (ribs) of the Giants has been designated to return from injured reserve

Tyrod Taylor of the New York Giants is getting closer to a return.

Taylor has been designated for return from injured reserve, according to NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport, and his practice window will open this week, according to sources familiar with the situation.

Taylor has been on injured reserve for the past four weeks after suffering a rib injury against the New York Jets in Week 8.

The opening of the practice window gives the Giants 21 days to activate Taylor or bench him for the rest of the season.

Big Blue’s question is whether head coach Brian Daboll will return to the veteran quarterback once he’s fully cleared or stick with undrafted rookie Tommy DeVito, who has struggled to get the offense going but has led New York to a 2-1 record in three starts.

With Daniel Jones (ACL) out for the season, Taylor joins DeVito and veteran Matt Barkley in the quarterback room.
