The New York Giants are set to make yet another change at quarterback with injured starter Drew Lock unavailable for Sundayās game against the Baltimore Ravens.
Lock is currently not practicing with the team and wearing a protective boot after suffering a heel injury, head coach Brian Daboll revealed Wednesday, meaning Tommy DeVito will come back in for this weekendās clash with the Ravens.
DeVito was named starter in the first game of the post-Daniel Jones era against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last month, only to not throw a touchdown and injure his forearm before losing his place after just one start.
He was swiftly replaced as a starter by Lock, who also failed to impress in underwhelming displays against the Dallas Cowboys and New Orleans Saints.
A fully-fit DeVito played one snap in last weekendās defeat to the Saints, drawing cheers from the home crowd as he entered the field to replace Lock at MetLife Stadium.
And now the 26-year-old will get another chance to win Daboll over against Lamar Jackson and the Ravens this Sunday.
