Giants backup quarterback Drew Lock is expected to miss time with a hip pointer and strained oblique.
Why it matters: Lock's absence leaves the Giants in need of another quarterback option while he recovers.
- The team currently has only Daniel Jones and Tommy DeVito as healthy options.
Lock suffered the injury during his preseason debut against the Detroit Lions, throwing 4-of-10 for 17 yards with an interception before getting hurt.
Yes, but: DeVito had a strong performance in the preseason game against the Lions, making him the immediate backup quarterback.
Coach Brian Daboll stated that Lock's recovery may take longer than a couple of days, indicating a potentially more extended absence.
Tommy DeVito expressed his determination to use the upcoming games as an opportunity to showcase his skills and put his best foot forward.
The Giants signed Lock this offseason on a one-year deal worth $5 million guaranteed.
What's next: The Giants are expected to sign a quarterback to fill in during Lock's absence.
