Drew Lock can’t seem to catch a break.
After the New York Giants cut Daniel Jones earlier this season, Tommy DeVito jumped Lock on the depth chart as New York’s new QB1.
DeVito then suffered a forearm injury, so the Giants turned to Lock, who went 0-2 as a starter over the last two weeks. Despite losing both games, Lock was set to remain the starter in Week 15, “health permitting.”
His health apparently won’t permit it.
Lock is currently in a walking boot with a heel injury, so New York is set to start DeVito against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday.
Tommy DeVito will start at QB for Giants, per Brian Daboll.

This is the latest roadblock in a series of career setbacks for Lock.
Since being picked by the Denver Broncos in the second round of the 2019 NFL draft out of Missouri, Lock has struggled to find his footing in the NFL. After going 8-13 as a starter in Denver, Lock was traded to the Seattle Seahawks in 2022 as part of the Russell Wilson trade.
Lock went 1-1 filling in for an injured Geno Smith with the Seahawks in 2023 before joining the Giants this spring. He went 0-2 in New York, bringing his career win-loss record to 9-16. The 28-year-old quarterback is scheduled to become a free agent in 2025.
