Round and round she goes. Where she stops …
The Giants quarterback carousel continues this week, as they’re expected to return to Drew Lock for the start against the Falcons on Sunday, head coach Brian Daboll said on Wednesday.
Since the Giants benched Daniel Jones coming out of their bye week, the same quarterback has started two consecutive games for the team just once.
“It’s all a little bit different with each guy,” Daboll said. “So, certainly, you’d like one guy in there the whole time, but that’s not the reality.”
In Week 12, it was Tommy DeVito starting against the Buccaneers. But he hurt his arm in the game.
Then it was Lock starting Week 13 against the Cowboys on Thanksgiving.
Lock made it through the game then started the next week against the Saints but hurt his foot in that game.
So DeVito started this past Sunday against the Ravens, though he suffered a concussion and was replaced in the game by Tim Boyle.
And now with Lock healthy again, it’s back to him.
DeVito is still in the concussion protocol, though he was on the field and was a limited participant in practice Wednesday.
If DeVito clears the protocol, he’ll serve as Lock’s backup with Boyle as the emergency third-stringer.
Lock this year has completed 51.1 percent of his passes for 414 yards, no touchdowns, two interceptions and a brutal 54.6 passer rating.
He’s also added 129 rushing yards and a touchdown on the ground.
“It’s the job,” Lock said. “Me and Tommy both came here not as a starter. You’ve got to be ready for your time to be the starter. It gets pulled back, you go back in, it gets pulled back, you go back in. It’s part of the gig. You always want to be the guy out there. It stinks standing on the sideline. But sometimes that happens, and you’ve just got to be ready for your next one.”
