Drew Lock has a heel injury so Tommy DeVito may start at QB for Giants vs. Ravens
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — The New York Giants may turn to Tommy DeVito at quarterback for their upcoming game against the Baltimore Ravens as Drew Lock deals with a heel injury. Lock has been seen in a walking boot, escalating concerns about his availability for the game.
Coach Brian Daboll announced the injury on Wednesday, marking a critical point in the Giants’ preparation for the Ravens at MetLife Stadium. The Giants are currently struggling with a disappointing record of 2-11 and are desperate to snap their eight-game losing streak. They have also faced challenges at home, remaining winless across seven games this season.
Lock’s injury occurred during last weekend’s game against the New Orleans Saints where he faced significant pressure, being sacked twice and enduring 13 quarterback hits in a narrow 14-11 defeat.
The quarterback position has been unstable for the Giants, particularly following the decision to bench and eventually release Daniel Jones on November 22. This decision has left the team in search of a reliable signal-caller.
Tommy DeVito had displayed promise earlier in the season, helping the Giants secure three wins in 2023. He started against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on November 24, completing 21 of 31 passes for 189 yards before sustaining an injury to his right forearm late in the game, which ended in a 30-7 loss for the Giants.
Lock had previously started in a Thanksgiving Day matchup against the Dallas Cowboys and again faced the Saints, where a critical blocked field goal by the Saints denied the Giants a chance at overtime.
As the Giants prepare for this important matchup against the Ravens, the uncertainty surrounding the quarterback position continues to be a key storyline. Fans are left to wonder if DeVito can step up and deliver a performance that will help bring the team back into a winning mindset.
With the Ravens looming on the schedule, the Giants must rally together and find ways to overcome the obstacles presented by injuries and setbacks. The game presents an opportunity for the team to refocus and attempt to establish a rhythm on both offense and defense despite their recent struggles.
