The New York Giants returned to practice on Wednesday afternoon in preparation for a Week 15 game against the Baltimore Ravens at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
Before taking the field, head coach Brian Daboll stepped up to the podium and spoke with reporters.
Most of what Daboll revealed was not anything considered positive news, beginning with quarterback Drew Lock, who is in a walking boot and unlikely to play on Sunday.
“I wouldn’t say he’s doing great. He’s in a boot,” Daboll said. “He has a heel. He won’t practice today. He won’t be out on a practice field today. Can’t tell you if he’d be ready to go right now. So, Tommy (DeVito) will get all the reps.
“Can’t see him going tomorrow. Hopefully Friday we can see whether or not he can end up being a two or a three. But, not there yet as of today.”
Additionally, guard Jon Runyan Jr. is also expected to miss the Ravens game but there is at least some optimism that left tackle Jermaine Eluemunor could return.
“Jermaine, he’s made good progress,” Daboll said. “Probably more optimistic with Jermaine.”
If there was a sliver of good news, it’s that cornerback Deonte Banks returned to practice on a limited basis.
