The New York Giants are now on their third choice at quarterback, with Drew Lock deemed the starter.
But Baltimore Ravens defensive coordinator Zach Orr and company need to prepare with a major caveat—Lock’s status is in doubt for this game.
New York Giants Head Coach Brian Daboll told his local media on Monday that Lock is dealing with some soreness, bumps, and bruises right now. Daboll revealed that Lock will undergo an MRI (although he didn’t specify which body part will be scanned) to assess whether or not any structural damage occurred.
When the Giants gave up on Daniel Jones, the quarterback they once believed to be the future of the franchise, Lock was number 2 on the depth chart.
However, Daboll initially gave the gig to the #3, Tommy Devito. The New Jersey native and Syracuse alum (who played his final season of college football at Illinois) is a major fan favorite, so his re-ascension into the starting role seemed more like a marketing decision than a football one.
However, neither signal-caller has even been effective, let alone productive. It’s easy to see why the Ravens are such heavy favorites on Sunday. The 2-11 Giants are in an utterly miserable state right now.
They’re exactly who you want to face when you need a win.
Whether it’s Lock or Devito taking the snaps, the Ravens must feel good about their next game.
