Due to a heel injury, Drew Lock might not play, which could lead to Tommy DeVito starting at quarterback against the Ravens

With Drew Lock wearing a walking boot due to a heel injury, the New York Giants might have Tommy DeVito back at quarterback on Sunday when they try to end their eight-game losing streak against the Baltimore Ravens.

Coach Brian Daboll shared the injury news on Wednesday before the Giants (2-11) began preparing for the Ravens (8-5) at MetLife Stadium, where New York has yet to win this season, losing all seven home games.

Lock got injured last weekend after the Saints sacked him twice and hit him 13 times in a 14-11 loss.

“You always got to be ready for whatever happens,” DeVito said after practice. “Obviously, it’s been a little bit of a crazy situation this whole year with everything that’s gone on. So, there’s almost no surprises at this point. You just got to stay ready. Whoever’s out there, whatever number is going to be out there and ready to be called, we’re going to go out there and support them.”

The quarterback situation has been uncertain ever since the Giants benched and then released Daniel Jones on Nov. 22.

DeVito, an undrafted rookie free agent who helped the Giants win three games in 2023, started against Tampa Bay on Nov. 24. He completed 21 of 31 passes for 189 yards, but he injured his right forearm late in the 30-7 loss.

The New Jersey native said his arm feels fine and he isn’t focused on the losing streak.

“I think it’s just continuing just to prove to myself that I belong,” DeVito said. “Just go out and play at the highest level that I believe that I can play at, consistently. Just go out there and try to win football games. That’s what it comes down to.”

Tight end Daniel Bellinger said the receivers’ biggest challenge is adjusting to DeVito’s cadence.

“I don’t feel like it’s difficult,” added rookie receiver Malik Nabers, who leads the Giants with 80 catches for 819 yards and three touchdowns. “I feel like I’ve caught enough passes from him, I’ve run enough routes with him. We both know the playbook, so I don’t feel like it’s hard at all. But just another hill you’ve got to climb over.”

Lock started against the Cowboys in a Thanksgiving loss and again against the Saints, in a game where New Orleans blocked a late field-goal attempt by Graham Gano that could have forced overtime.
