The New York Giants have been reminded how rapidly fortunes can flip once more on Thursday evening when quarterback Drew Lock was knocked from the sport with a hip harm within the first quarter and didn’t return.
Head coach Brian Daboll stated after the sport that Lock was “sore” however didn’t appear involved.
“We’ll discover out (on Friday) however I don’t foresee it being a very long time,” Daboll stated.
That left the Giants with only one quarterback, Tommy DeVito, for the rest of the sport since Daniel Jones was unavailable.
Common supervisor Joe Schoen insisted on the air that Lock may have re-entered the sport if wanted however the reality stays that three quarterbacks might not be sufficient in preseason.
The Giants launched their fourth quarterback, Nathan Rourke, on July 28. If that they had designs on signing him again, it’s too late. Rourke was scooped up by the Atlanta Falcons this week.

DeVito performed the rest of the sport and led the Giants on two scoring drives. Lock seemed very similar to Daniel Jones did final season — confused, beneath strain, and working for his private security. He was injured when a Lions defender hit him after he launched a go.
Rourke isn’t more likely to make the Falcons’ roster as they’ve Kirk Cousins, Taylor Heinicke, and rookie Michael Penix Jr. in-house however will most likely spend the remainder of camp with them.
Meaning the Giants gained’t get a shot at him till after ultimate rosters are set in three weeks. At finest, Rourke is apply squad materials at this level.
