On an eight-game losing streak, New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll said Monday he intends to have quarterback Drew Lock start again Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens if he is healthy.

Lock, 28, was 21-of-49 passing for 227 yards and an interception in Sunday's 14-11 home loss to the New Orleans Saints. He led the team with 59 yards rushing on five carries.

Lock was experiencing soreness Monday morning in multiple areas and underwent an MRI, according to Daboll, who was not specific on the exact nature of the injuries.

New York has moved on from former first-round QB Daniel Jones this season, with Tommy DiVito starting in a loss to the Tampa Buccaneers in Week 12. Lock has started the last two games while completing 51.9 percent of his passes for a combined 405 yards and two interceptions without a touchdown.

In 33 games (25 starts) over five seasons for the Denver Broncos (2019-21), Seattle Seahawks (2023) and Giants, Lock has completed 58.8 percent of his passes for 5,697 yards, 28 TDs and 25 interceptions.
