Giants-Cowboys inactive: Tommy DeVito will not play against Cowboys

According to a report from Adam Schefter, quarterback Tommy DeVito is not expected to play for the New York Giants on Thursday due to a right (throwing) forearm injury. Drew Lock, the Giants’ third starting quarterback in as many games, is expected to start against the Dallas Cowboys.

Lock, signed in the offseason to back up Jones, was bypassed for DeVito last week after the Giants benched Jones and ultimately released him. The Giants showed little offense in a 30-7 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday.

If DeVito can’t play and Lock starts, the backup quarterback would be journeyman Tim Boyle. Boyle replaced Daniel Jones on the 53-man squad when Jones was released last week.

The Giants are also without starter Jermaine Eluemunor, who suffered a quadriceps injury against the Buccaneers, and cornerback Deonte Banks, who has a rib injury. Instead of Eluemunor, journeyman Chris Hubbard is likely to start. The Giants have signed cornerback Greg Stroman from the practice squad for help at cornerback.
