New York Giants quarterback Tommy DeVito will not be playing in the upcoming game against the Dallas Cowboys due to an injury in his forearm. Drew Lock is expected to take his place as the starting quarterback for the team.
DeVito was absent from the team’s travel to Dallas as he was undergoing further evaluation for his injury. However, the Giants mentioned that he might join the team later on Wednesday. This decision comes after DeVito experienced several hard hits during the previous game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, where he made his first start of the season following the departure of Daniel Jones.
With DeVito sidelined, Lock, who served as the backup for the first 10 weeks of the season, will now step into the starting role. Despite the lack of real practice time and a short week to prepare, Lock will need to lead the team against their NFC East rivals. Additionally, he will have to navigate the game without the starting tackles on the offensive line, as Andrew Thomas is on injured reserve and Jermaine Eluemunor was ruled out due to a quad injury.
The Giants’ decision to start Lock over Jones has raised questions about the team’s handling of their quarterback situation. Some critics believe that the team may have made the wrong choice in prioritizing one player over another, especially considering the circumstances surrounding the injuries and lineup changes.
Moving forward, the Giants will need to rely on Lock to step up and deliver a strong performance in DeVito’s absence. The team’s success in the upcoming game against the Cowboys will depend on Lock’s ability to adapt quickly and lead the offense effectively despite the challenges they face on the field.
As fans eagerly await the outcome of the game, all eyes will be on Lock as he takes on the responsibility of guiding the Giants to victory in a crucial matchup against their division rivals. Only time will tell if Lock can rise to the occasion and prove himself as a capable leader for the team in this challenging situation.
