Head coach Brian Daboll mentioned 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 mentioned.
That left the Giants with only one quarterback, Tommy DeVito, for the rest of the sport since Daniel Jones was unavailable.
Basic supervisor Joe Schoen insisted on the air that Lock may have re-entered the sport if wanted however the truth stays that three quarterbacks will not be sufficient in preseason.
The Giants launched their fourth quarterback, Nathan Rourke, on July 28. If they’d 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 regarded very similar to Daniel Jones did final season — confused, beneath strain, and operating for his private security. He was injured when a Lions defender hit him after he launched a move.
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.
Which means the Giants gained’t get a shot at him till after last rosters are set in three weeks. At greatest, Rourke is follow squad materials at this level.
