The New York Giants are bracing for yet another quarterback change as injuries and underwhelming performances continue to plague their season. With starter Drew Lock sidelined due to a heel injury, head coach Brian Daboll has confirmed that Tommy DeVito will take the reins against the Baltimore Ravens this Sunday.

A Rocky Road at Quarterback

This marks the latest development in a tumultuous stretch for the Giants’ quarterback position. Drew Lock, who was brought in to stabilize the team following the benching of Daniel Jones, has struggled in recent weeks. Lackluster outings against the Dallas Cowboys and New Orleans Saints only compounded the team’s woes.

Lock’s injury, which has him in a protective boot and missing practice, has forced the team to turn back to DeVito, the 26-year-old who started earlier in the season. DeVito initially took over after Jones was sidelined, debuting against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. However, his performance fell flat—he failed to throw a touchdown, sustained a forearm injury, and was replaced after just one start.

DeVito’s Second Chance

Now fully recovered, DeVito finds himself back in the spotlight. He made a brief one-snap appearance in last week’s loss to the Saints, drawing cheers from the MetLife Stadium crowd as he replaced Lock late in the game.

This weekend, he’ll have the opportunity to prove himself against a formidable Ravens defense led by Lamar Jackson. However, the odds are stacked against him as the Giants look to snap an eight-game losing streak, with their playoff hopes all but dashed.

The Backup Plan

Behind DeVito, veteran quarterback Tim Boyle is expected to serve as backup with Lock unavailable. This decision reflects the Giants’ cautious approach, as they await further clarity on Lock’s condition following an MRI earlier this week.

Despite Lock’s struggles, head coach Brian Daboll had expressed willingness to stick with him as the starter if he were healthy. “Drew Lock will start for the Giants against the Ravens if he’s healthy enough,” Daboll told reporters earlier this week. However, the injury has forced the team to reevaluate its options.

What’s at Stake

The Giants’ clash with Baltimore presents an uphill battle, as Daboll’s team faces the possibility of a ninth consecutive loss. For DeVito, this game is an opportunity to rewrite his story and potentially secure a more prominent role moving forward.

Meanwhile, fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see how the team navigates this critical juncture in what has been a deeply disappointing season. Can DeVito deliver under pressure, or will the Giants’ quarterback carousel continue to spin out of control?

The answers will unfold on Sunday as the Giants take the field against one of the NFL’s toughest opponents.
