Giants QB Tommy DeVito wants to play at Dallas, but 'whole body is sore'
East Rutherford, NJ -- November 24, 2024 -- Tommy DeVito of the Giants gets hit after he threw this pass by Calijah Kancey of Tampa Bay in the fourth quarter. DeVito was injured and came out of the game for one play as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers came to MetLife Stadium and defeated the New York Giants 30-7. Guests of the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving Day, the visiting Giants were still taking inventory of available players 48 hours before the scheduled kickoff in Arlington, Texas.
Quarterback Tommy DeVito was limited with a forearm injury and Drew Lock, passed over last week for the No. 1 job taken from Daniel Jones, could suddenly find himself in the huddle operating the Giants' offense.
"My whole body is kind of sore. First time playing in awhile, took a couple of shots," DeVito said Tuesday, two days after he was sacked four times by the Buccaneers in a 30-7 loss. "I'm planning to play. See how I feel (Wednesday). Hopefully I feel a little bit better after some more treatment."
DeVito jumped Lock from No. 3 on the depth chart and started Sunday. He completed 21 of 31 passes for 189 yards and is expected to be the starter if healthy.
But DeVito, who made his seventh career start last week, is "not 100 percent" to play, head coach Brian Daboll clarified on Tuesday when Lock received the reps with the first-team offense.
"His forearm is sore. We'll see where we're at," Daboll said. "He threw in the walkthrough (and) he's going to test it out here in practice. So I'm hopeful. But it's not 100 percent."
A fifth-year pro drafted by the Broncos and traded to the Seattle Seahawks in the Russell Wilson deal, Lock has 23 career starts and signed a one-year, $5 million deal in free agency to be the No. 2 quarterback behind Jones.
