The New York Giants have been forced into yet another quarterback change for their Week 15 game against the Baltimore Ravens and will start Tommy DeVito.
Giants coach Brian Daboll said he chose DeVito since Drew Lock is in a walking boot with a heel injury following the team’s Week 14 loss to the New Orleans Saints.
“I can’t tell you if he’d be ready to go right now,” Daboll said. “So Tommy DeVito will get all the reps.”
This is the Giants’ third quarterback change since Week 10, the last game Daniel Jones started before his demotion and release. DeVito was the team’s initial choice to replace Jones, finishing 21-for-31 for 189 yards and four sacks in a loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. DeVito was then held out in favor of Lock on a short Thanksgiving week against the Dallas Cowboys after suffering a forearm contusion. DeVito, a second-year quarterback, is 3-4 as the Giants starter.
Daboll added that he wouldn’t know until Friday whether Lock can potentially backup or be the emergency No. 3 quarterback. The Giants’ only other option in-house would be Tim Boyle, who is on the practice squad.
At 2-11, the Giants are the team most likely to get the No. 1 pick in the 2025 Draft with four weeks left to play. New York has the sixth-hardest remaining strength of schedule, according to The Athletic’s Austin Mock, facing the Ravens, Atlanta Falcons, Indianapolis Colts and Philadelphia Eagles in the team’s final four games.
Another week, another QB
The rotating musical chairs game at quarterback continues for the Giants. Since benching Jones, the team has started third-stringer DeVito over backup Lock, who signed a one-year, $5 million deal with the franchise this offseason.
The team then started Lock over DeVito in Week 14. Lock started the game throwing 0-of-8 before leading an attempt at a fourth-quarter comeback. But Lock was injured in the 14-11 loss and the Giants are turning back to DeVito. — Charlotte Carroll, New York Giants beat writer
