"Devin Thomas found a home with the Giants as a kick returner this season. But now, he is out of a job.

Thomas told the Daily News that the Giants have taken away his kick-return responsibilities and will likely go with rookie Da'Rel Scott and D.J. Ware as their primary return men on Sunday against the 49ers.

Thomas said he learned of the move when he checked the weekly depth chart on Wednesday.

"It's a reality check," Thomas said. "It checks your pride, but I'm going to bounce back.""
