Giants' Drew Lock To Miss Practice And Preseason Game Due To Hip Injury

3 months ago

Due to a sore hip, New York Giants backup quarterback Drew Lock will miss practice this week. Lock was injured late in the first quarter after being hit and going to the ground. Although he remained in for one more play, he eventually had to leave the field in pain. Head coach Brian Daboll has announced that Lock is expected to miss at least three practices and will be unavailable for the Giants' second preseason game against the Houston Texans on Saturday. Before the injury, Lock struggled, completing just 4-of-10 passes for 17 yards and an interception. With Lock sidelined, the Giants will rely on Daniel Jones and Tommy Devito as their only healthy quarterbacks. Lock signed a one-year deal this offseason with $5 million guaranteed and was expected to compete with Jones for the starting role. Given his injury and poor performance before it, Lock is unlikely to challenge Jones significantly for the starting job. No matter who starts, the Giants' quarterback situation offers limited fantasy value, apart from supporting Malik Nabers.
