Lock (hip) is suited up ahead of Saturday's preseason game against the Jets, Bob Brookover of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lock was removed from the Giants' exhibition opener Aug. 8 and eventually was diagnosed with a bone contusion in his left hip and a strained oblique. The pair of health concerns sidelined him at practice until this past Tuesday, and he now has a chance to see his second dose of preseason action Saturday. Assuming he gets in the game, Lock would split QB duties with fellow reserve Tommy DeVito with Daniel Jones expected to sit out.

Lock (hip) didn't participate in team drills Wednesday, Patricia Traina of SI.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Giants' No. 2 quarterback injured his hip during the team's first preseason game against the Lions, and he's yet to return to the field. While Lock remains sidelined, expect Tommy DeVito to take snaps as New York's second-string quarterback.

Lock (hip) is practicing Tuesday, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lock suffered a bone contusion to his hip during the team's first preseason game against the Lions on Aug. 8 and has been out of action since. However, the veteran should be ready Week 1 against the Vikings, where he's expected to be the team's No. 2 quarterback, behind starter Daniel Jones.

Coach Brian Daboll said Tuesday that Lock (hip) is doing "a lot better" and could be active for Saturday's preseason game against the Texans, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lock said he fully expects to be ready for Week 1, per Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News. The backup QB suffered a bone contusion and strained oblique during New York's preseason opener against the Lions, but it doesn't appear he'll be sidelined too long. Until Lock returns to practice, though, No. 3 quarterback Tommy DeVito figures to benefit from increased reps.

Lock (hip) will likely sit out of at least three practices, Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
The backup quarterback suffered a bone contusion and strained oblique during the Giants' preseason game Thursday against the Lions. Fortunately for Lock, the injury will not require surgery and New York is not adding another quarterback at this time, per Dunleavy. Lock's absence, though, should give third-stringer Tommy DeVito more reps in New York's next preseason contest Aug. 17 against the Texans.

Lock (hip) is expected to miss time due to a bone contusion and strained oblique suffered during Thursday's preseason game against the Lions, but he will not require surgery, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Coach Brian Daboll said the Giants could add another quarterback with Lock injured. Though Daboll declined to offer a true estimate of Lock's recovery timetable, per Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports, he did say "it could be longer than a couple days." Tommy DeVito figures to step up and handle the bulk of second-team reps at practice as long as Lock is unable to go. It's possible, depending on the extent of Lock's absence and whether DeVito is able to impress with more opportunities on deck, that a competition for the No. 2 spot behind starter Daniel Jones could materialize.

GM Joe Schoen said on the Giants' broadcast that Lock will be fine after injuring his left hip during Thursday's preseason game versus the Lions, Charlotte Carroll of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lock was in clear pain after taking a hit late in the first quarter. With Daniel Jones not playing Thursday, Tommy DeVito ended up taking over for Lock, and the second-year pro may be destined for second-team reps in the short term until Lock is healthy.

Lock sustained a hip injury during Thursday's preseason game against the Lions, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lock displayed clear discomfort late in the first quarter, favoring his left side in the process. Prior to his exit, he got the start in place of Daniel Jones, completing four of 10 passes for 17 yards and one interception while taking two carries for 12 yards. Tommy DeVito took over for Lock following his departure.

Lock said Friday that he's been told Daniel Jones (knee) is the Giants' starting quarterback, Charlotte Carroll of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The question likely was asked in response to Seahawks GM John Schneider saying Thursday that he wanted to re-sign Lock but lost out to the Giants because they offered the opportunity to compete for a starting job. Lock seems to be suggesting otherwise, though Jones' recovery from an ACL tear suffered Nov. 5 could make things interesting. Jones' contract is another factor, with a $23 million injury guarantee for 2025 potentially creating a mid/late-season situation like the one we saw in Denver with Russell Wilson in 2023 (Wilson was benched to ensure he'd stay healthy and reduce the dead-cap charge for releasing him in the offseason).

Seahawks GM John Schneider said Thursday that he wanted to re-sign Lock but wasn't able to because the Giants sold him on an opportunity to compete for a starting job, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Schneider revealed the interesting bit of information on The Wyman and Bob Show (710 Seattle Sports) shortly after trading for former Commanders QB Sam Howell. Reports suggest Lock signed with the Giants for backup money -- a one-year, $5 million contract, per ESPN -- but he may nonetheless have a chance to start with Daniel Jones (knee) coming off a disappointing season in which he averaged a career-worst 5.7 yards per pass attempt before suffering an ACL tear. Both quarterbacks are 2019 draft picks entering their age-27 campaigns, and while Jones has a full guarantee for his $36 million in compensation this year, the only guarantees thereafter are for injuries. Even if Jones ends up starting for most of the season, it could turn into a 2023 Russell Wilson situation where he's benched to avoid those injury guarantees and ensure the team can move on from him in the offseason. The various factors, including Jones' rehab from knee surgery, give Lock a good chance to play at some point this season, though things would get more complicated if the Giants bring in a rookie QB on Day 1 or 2 of the upcoming NFL Draft.
