Drew Lock To Miss Time With Strained Oblique

Drew Lock To Miss Time With Strained Oblique

4 months ago

New York Giants quarterback Drew Lock (oblique) is dealing with a bad bone contusion and strained oblique from Thursday's preseason game against the visiting Detroit Lions in East Rutherford. He's expected to miss some time, but no surgery is required. Head coach Brian Daboll said the Giants could potentially add another QB with Lock sidelined a bit. With that said, Lock will have about a month to recover if he wants to get back in time to back up starting signal-caller Daniel Jones for New York's regular-season opener against the Minnesota Vikings on Sep. 8 at MetLife Stadium. As for next Saturday's preseason contest against the hosting Houston Texans, it's fair to expect Jones to make an appearance in the first quarter before third-stringer Tommy Devito replaces him and soaks up the lion's share of the remaining snaps during exhibition play.
