When asked how confident he is that he'll be ready for the Week 1 regular-season opener in early September, New York Giants quarterback Drew Lock (hip, oblique) said, "100 percent confident." Lock said he's already throwing again after being pulled from the team's preseason opener last Thursday night against the Detroit Lions due to a bone contusion in his hip and a strained oblique. The 27-year-old will not need surgery, but he'll almost certainly sit out of the second preseason game this Saturday versus the Houston Texans. Starter Daniel Jones is expected to make his preseason debut, and third-stringer Tommy Devito should once again see extensive work. With Jones expected to be a full-go to kick off the regular season, Lock will be off the fantasy radar in all leagues as the backup in the Big Apple.
Due to a sore hip, New York Giants backup quarterback Drew Lock will miss practice this week. Lock was injured late in the first quarter after being hit and going to the ground. Although he remained in for one more play, he eventually had to leave the field in pain. Head coach Brian Daboll has announced that Lock is expected to miss at least three practices and will be unavailable for the Giants' second preseason game against the Houston Texans on Saturday. Before the injury, Lock struggled, completing just 4-of-10 passes for 17 yards and an interception. With Lock sidelined, the Giants will rely on Daniel Jones and Tommy Devito as their only healthy quarterbacks. Lock signed a one-year deal this offseason with $5 million guaranteed and was expected to compete with Jones for the starting role. Given his injury and poor performance before it, Lock is unlikely to challenge Jones significantly for the starting job. No matter who starts, the Giants' quarterback situation offers limited fantasy value, apart from supporting Malik Nabers.
New York Giants quarterback Drew Lock (oblique) is dealing with a bad bone contusion and strained oblique from Thursday's preseason game against the visiting Detroit Lions in East Rutherford. He's expected to miss some time, but no surgery is required. Head coach Brian Daboll said the Giants could potentially add another QB with Lock sidelined a bit. With that said, Lock will have about a month to recover if he wants to get back in time to back up starting signal-caller Daniel Jones for New York's regular-season opener against the Minnesota Vikings on Sep. 8 at MetLife Stadium. As for next Saturday's preseason contest against the hosting Houston Texans, it's fair to expect Jones to make an appearance in the first quarter before third-stringer Tommy Devito replaces him and soaks up the lion's share of the remaining snaps during exhibition play.
New York Giants third-string quarterback Tommy Devito was thrown into the fire in the team's preseason opener against the Lions after Drew Lock (hip) exited early with an injury. While he didn't light up the stat sheet, he managed to steady the ship. DeVito went 8-for-15 with 92 passing yards, showing flashes of composure but failing to find the end zone. The young quarterback also chipped in two yards on four rushes, but his legs weren't much of a factor. DeVito's performance was far from fantasy-relevant, but he did what backup quarterbacks are supposed to do: keep the offense moving without making costly mistakes. While his yards per attempt won't supplant Daniel Jones, DeVito's ability to avoid turnovers is a positive takeaway. If Lock's injury lingers, DeVito may see more snaps in training camp and the final two games.
New York Giants quarterback Drew Lock (hip) suffered a hip injury in Thursday night's preseason opener against the Detroit Lions and is considered questionable to return. Given that this is a preseason contest, we highly doubt that Lock will return to this game. The 27-year-old made the start for the G-Men with the Giants sitting starting QB Daniel Jones. Before leaving with a hip ailment, Lock went 4-for-10 for 17 yards and an interception while running for 12 yards on two carries. He was replaced by Tommy Devito under center. We should have a better idea of the severity of Lock's hip injury on Friday. The former Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks signal-caller will open the 2024 season in the Big Apple as the Giants' backup to Daniel Jones, leaving him with virtually no fantasy appeal.
