The New York Giants are losing players left and right to injury.
They currently have four offensive players on injured reserve (IR), nine defensive players on injured reserve, and upwards of 11 players who currently have an injury designation. As if this season hasn’t been hard enough without the injuries.
With Drew Lock walking around in a boot with a heel injury, Giants head coach Brian Daboll revealed on Wednesday that Tommy DeVito will be back under center on Sunday when the Giants host the Baltimore Ravens at MetLife Stadium
Tommy DeVito will start at QB for Giants, per Brian Daboll.

Since the Giants released Daniel Jones a few weeks ago, the quarterback has changed each week. DeVito was initially named the starter, then when the Giants were embarrassed by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Drew Lock got the nod for two weeks.
Now, though, Lock is injured, and Jones is gone so DeVito is the next man up. Again.
In two games this season, DeVito has completed 21 of 31 passes attempted for 189 yards. He has no touchdowns and no interceptions, but he has been sacked four times for 23 yards.
If Lock is available on Sunday, he will be the backup to DeVito, but it’s pretty unlikely he will be available. In his place, the Giants will most likely elevate Tim Boyle from the practice squad to use in an emergency.
