Lock completed 22 of 29 passes for 138 yards and a touchdown with an interception in Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Eagles. He added three rushing yards on two carries.
Even against a Philly defense resting multiple starters ahead of the playoffs, Lock couldn't get much going, although he did connect with Malik Nabers for a 45-yard TD in the fourth quarter as the Giants tried to mount a comeback from a 17-3 deficit. The Giants ended the regular season in line to pick third overall in the 2025 Draft, putting them in position to potentially select a new franchise quarterback, but even if they don't, Lock seems unlikely to return to New York in free agency. The 28-year-old completed 59.1 percent of his passes for 1,071 yards and a 6:5 TD:INT over eight appearances in 2024.

Giants' Drew Lock: Five total TDs in upset win
Rotowire
Lock completed 17 of 23 passes for 309 yards and four touchdowns in Sunday's 45-33 win over the Colts. He also rushed five times for no gain and scored a rushing touchdown.
Lock threw a 31-yard touchdown pass to Malik Nabers in the first quarter, then added touchdowns of 32 yards to Darius Slayton and five yards to Wan'Dale Robinson in the second. After a quiet third quarter, Lock came alive with a 59-yard touchdown pass to Nabers in the fourth quarter, then ran in a game-sealing five-yard touchdown with 2:57 remaining. This productive outing came out of nowhere considering Lock came in with a 1:4 TD:INT in three previous starts this season. After posting his best passing yardage total since a 339-yard performance in Week 18 of the 2021 season with the Broncos, Lock will look to put on an encore in Week 18 against an Eagles team that has already wrapped up the NFC East.

Giants' Drew Lock: Stays limited in practice
Rotowire
Lock (shoulder) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Giants head coach Brian Daboll said earlier this week that Lock is in line to make a second straight start Sunday versus the Colts, though it's not yet clear if the quarterback will approach that contest with an injury designation. He's been listed as a limited participant in both of the Giants' first two Week 17 practices, so he may need to put in a full session Friday to clear up any lingering concern about his availability heading into the weekend.

Giants' Drew Lock: Listed as limited Wednesday
Rotowire
Lock (shoulder) was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's estimated injury report, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Lock injured his right shoulder this past Sunday in Atlanta and underwent an MRI on Monday to determine the severity of the issue. On Tuesday, head coach Brian Daboll told Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com that Lock was slated to be the Giants' starting quarterback in Week 17, but he'll seemingly have some practice limitations ahead of Sunday's contest against the Colts. In the end, he'll have two more chances to get back to full participation this week before he potentially carries a designation into the weekend.

Giants' Drew Lock: Getting another start
Rotowire
Giants head coach Brian Daboll said Lock (shoulder) is on track to start Sunday's game against the Colts, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Lock sat out the Giants' Week 15 loss to the Ravens with sore heel and a left elbow injury, but he was cleared to start in this past Sunday's 34-7 loss to the Falcons. He committed three turnovers (two interceptions and one lost fumble) and completed just 22 of 39 pass attempts for 210 yards and one touchdown. Lock hurt his right shoulder in the contest and required an MRI, though imaging apparently revealing nothing too concerning, putting him on track to make a second straight start this weekend, though the shoulder issue could still affect his practice participation.

Giants' Drew Lock: Getting MRI on shoulder
Rotowire
Lock is undergoing an MRI on Monday to determine the severity of a shoulder injury he sustained during Sunday's 34-7 loss to the Falcons, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Lock turned in a disastrous performance Sunday, completing just 22 of 39 passes for 210 yards and a touchdown with two interceptions, both of which were pick-sixes. A two-yard connection with Tyrone Tracy in the end zone gave Lock his first touchdown pass of the 2024 campaign, but he wasn't able to emerge from the blowout loss at full health. Coach Brian Daboll said the Giants haven't yet made a decision at quarterback for Week 17 against the Colts, per Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record, but it's conceivable the team turns back to Tommy DeVito under center even if Lock's shoulder issue doesn't prove to be significant.

Giants' Drew Lock: Throws two pick-sixes in loss
Rotowire
Lock completed 22 of 39 passes for 210 yards and a touchdown with two interceptions in Sunday's 34-7 loss to the Falcons. He also gained one yard on his only carry and lost a fumble.
It was a simply brutal performance from Lock, as both his INTs turned into pick-sixes -- Jessie Bates took the first one 55 yards for the score that put Atlanta up for good in the second quarter, before Matthew Judon piled on in the third quarter with a 27-yard TD return. Lock did throw his first touchdown pass of the season, a two-yard connection with Tyrone Tracy, but it was small consolation. The Giants may have little choice but to turn back to Tommy DeVito at quarterback in Week 17 against the Colts.

Giants' Drew Lock: Set for Week 16 start
Rotowire
Lock (heel/left elbow) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game in Atlanta.
Coach Brian Daboll told Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com on Wednesday that Lock was set to regain the Giants' starting quarterback job for Week 16 after serving as the emergency third QB behind Tommy DeVito and Tim Boyle in a Week 15 loss to the Ravens. Lock followed up Wednesday's limited session with back-to-back full practices this week, thereby locking him in to another start. Meanwhile, DeVito, who suffered a concussion against Baltimore, cleared concussion protocol Friday and will settle into the No. 2 role this weekend, per Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post. While operating as the starter Weeks 13 and 14, Lock completed 42 of 81 passes (51.9 percent) for 405 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions, adding nine carries for 116 yards and one TD along with a lost fumble.

Giants' Drew Lock: Manages full practice
Rotowire
Lock (heel/elbow) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Lock, who was limited in practice Wednesday and missed the Giants' Week 15 loss to the Ravens, now seems fully on track for Sunday's road matchup against the Falcons. Head coach Brian Daboll has already announced that, if available, Lock will start versus Atlanta on Sunday, priming him for matchup against Falcons rookie quarterback Michael Penix. Tommy DeVito (concussion) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday and seems to be trending in the right direction for Week 16, meaning he could be available as Lock's backup.

Giants' Drew Lock: Logs limited practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Lock (heel/left elbow) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Patricia Traina of SI.com reports.
Lock missed the Giants' Week 15 loss to the Ravens due to a sore heel and a left elbow injury, which kept him off the practice field in advance of that contest. Prior to getting back on the field Wednesday, Lock was effectively named the Giants' starting quarterback for Week 16, with head coach Brian Daboll telling Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com that the team is planning on Lock being under center Sunday in Atlanta. Meanwhile, Tommy DeVito remains in the concussion protocol and also operated with a cap on his reps Wednesday, meaning Tim Boyle is the healthiest signal-caller on New York's active roster.

Giants' Drew Lock: On track to start Week 16
Rotowire
Giants head coach Brian Daboll said that Lock (heel/elbow) will practice Wednesday and is expected to start Sunday's game against the Falcons, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Lock started for the Giants in losses to the Cowboys and Saints in Weeks 13 and 14, respectively, completing 42 of 81 pass attempts for 405 yards, zero touchdowns and two interceptions while adding 116 yards and a touchdown on nine carries between those contests. Last Monday, Daboll said that Lock would remain the Giants' starter if healthy, but a sore heel plus a lingering left elbow injury kept him out for this past Sunday's 35-14 loss to the Ravens. Tommy DeVito started that game before exiting with a concussion, resulting in Tim Boyle finishing out the contest. Though DeVito will have a chance at clearing concussion protocol prior to Sunday, the Giants are preparing to go back to Lock under center, provided he's able to make it through the week of practice without any setbacks.

Giants' Drew Lock: Sidelined for Week 15 game
Rotowire
Lock (heel/elbow) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Ravens as New York's emergency No. 3 quarterback, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Lock is dealing with a left elbow injury and a sore heel, though the latter issue is considered the greater concern after the quarterback had been in a walking boot this past week. He was unable to practice Wednesday through Friday, though the Giants still left the door open for Lock to be available as a backup to Tommy DeVito on Sunday by listing him as doubtful heading into the weekend. As a result of his inactive status, Lock won't be available to play Sunday unless DeVito and backup Tim Boyle -- who was elevated from the practice squad Saturday -- are forced out of the contest due to injury. Head coach Brian Daboll previously said that Lock will be the Giants' starter when healthy, so the 28-year-old could resume directing the offense Week 16 against the Falcons if he shows improvement in his recovery from his two injuries.

Giants' Drew Lock: Likely to miss out on Week 15 start
Rotowire
Giants head coach Brian Daboll said Wednesday that Lock is tending to a heel injury and is likely to cede starting quarterback duties to Tommy DeVito in Sunday's game against the Ravens, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Lock is in a walking boot and won't practice Wednesday, leaving DeVito to take all of the first-team reps as he prepares for what would be his second start of the season Sunday. When New York waived Daniel Jones in November, DeVito received the first chance to step in as the Giants' starter in a Week 12 loss to Tampa Bay, but DeVito suffered a forearm injury in that contest, which opened the door for Lock to start the past two games. Though Daboll said Monday that Lock would remain the starting quarterback if healthy, the 28-year-old looks like he'll have to miss at least one game after emerging from this past Sunday's 14-11 loss to the Saints with the heel issue. The Giants haven't yet discounted Lock from being available for the Week 15 contest, but assuming he's formally ruled out following the release of Friday's injury report, Tim Boyle likely will be elevated from the practice squad to serve as DeVito's backup against Baltimore.

Giants' Drew Lock: Needs MRI, still starter if healthy
Rotowire
Giants head coach Brian Daboll said Monday that Lock (undisclosed) is undergoing an MRI but remains in line to start Sunday's game against the Ravens, as long as he's able to suit up, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.
Lock was sent for X-rays after New York's 14-11 loss to the Saints in Week 14, a contest in which he completed just 21 of 49 passes for 227 yards and an interception. He did, though, toss a two-point conversion and add 59 rushing yards on five carries. Daboll said Lock emerged from the loss with "a couple bumps and bruises," per Charlotte Carroll of The Athletic, so there seems to be optimism that he's avoided a more serious injury.

Giants' Drew Lock: Drawing another start
Rotowire
Giants head coach Brian Daboll said that Lock will start Sunday's game against the Saints, Paul Schwartz of the New York Post reports.
Lock will draw a second consecutive start Week 14, while Tommy DeVito (forearm) may be available for No. 2 duties depending on the extent of his practice activity leading up to Sunday's contest, per Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News. Coming off a disappointing 27-20 loss to the Cowboys on Thanksgiving Day in which he completed just 21 of 32 passes for 178 yards with no touchdowns and one interception (which was returned for a Dallas touchdown), Lock will need to perform better this week to have a chance at retaining the No. 1 role once DeVito is fully healthy.

Giants' Drew Lock: No starter named for Week 14 yet
Rotowire
Giants coach Brian Daboll said Friday that he doesn't know if Lock or Tommy DeVito (forearm) will start at quarterback in Week 14 against the Saints, Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post reports.
Lock filled in as the starter for an injured DeVito on Thursday, committing two turnovers while throwing for 178 yards on 32 attempts in a 27-20 loss at Dallas. Lock ended up with a decent fantasy score thanks to four rush attempts for 57 yards and a TD, but his pick-six and lost fumble made it challenging for the Giants to win. DeVito may thus step back in as the starter once he's deemed healthy enough to play.

Giants' Drew Lock: Starting for DeVito on Thursday
Rotowire
Lock will start Thursday's game at Dallas, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, with Tommy DeVito (forearm) inactive as the Giants' emergency third QB.
The will he or won't he situation with DeVito now has been clarified as he deals with a sore right forearm. With DeVito sidelined, Lock will earn his 24th career start but first as a member of the Giants. In the other 23 between the Broncos and Seahawks, Lock averaged 203 yards per game on 60.4 percent passing with a 27:20 TD:INT, rushed 75 times for 290 yards and five touchdowns and fumbled 11 times (four lost).

Giants' Drew Lock: Start not guaranteed Thursday
Rotowire
Lock may not start in place of Tommy DeVito (forearm) in Thursday's game at Dallas, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
After Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reported earlier Wednesday that DeVito was a longshot to play Week 13, Lock became the favorite to draw the start for the Giants on Thursday. Rapoport relays that DeVito underwent an MRI on his right forearm Wednesday to determine if something may have been missed on his initial medical tests, but the quarterback is still scheduled to make the trip to Dallas. The team plans to have DeVito throw before Thursday's game to see if there's less discomfort than there has been the past few days, and if all goes well, he would get the start instead of Lock. Ultimately, a decision on the Giants' plans at quarterback will likely be announced when the team releases its inactive list 90 minutes before a 4:30 p.m. ET kickoff.

Giants' Drew Lock: Remains No. 2 quarterback
Rotowire
Head coach Brian Daboll announced Monday that Lock will serve as the backup to starting quarterback Tommy DeVito beginning with Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, while Daniel Jones moves to the No. 3 spot on the depth chart after starting each of the team's first 10 games.
Though Lock has served as the top backup to Jones all season, he'll stick in the No. 2 role while DeVito climbs from the bottom of the depth chart to the top. While Daboll declined to offer many specifics behind the changing of the guard at quarterback, the decision to bypass Lock for the starting nod is likely related to the signal-caller's contract, which contains multiple playing-time and performance-based incentives. Jones, meanwhile, has a contract that contains a $23 million guarantee for 2025 if he's unable to pass a physical in March, and with the Giants seemingly no longer viewing him as their franchise quarterback, the team will avoid exposing him to injury over the final seven games of the season by making him a healthy inactive. Lock is scheduled to become a free agent this offseason, which is another possible factor in the team's decision to start DeVito, who is two years younger and is likelier than Lock to be part of the roster in 2025.

Giants' Drew Lock: Week 11 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
The Giants could decide to bench Daniel Jones coming off their bye in Week 11, and either Lock or Tommy DeVito (1 percent) would take over as the starter. In Superflex and two-quarterback leagues, it's worth taking a flier on Lock first but also DeVito in deeper formats. Whoever starts for the Giants if Jones is benched is worth using in Superflex and two-quarterback leagues as an injury or bye-week replacement and is worth adding for 1 percent of your remaining FAB.
