The New York Giants made a quarterback change in Week 12, and there is a chance they may have to do it again for their upcoming game against the Dallas Cowboys.
Giants head coach Brian Daboll told reporters on Tuesday that Tommy DeVito is dealing with a sore right forearm. Daboll said DeVito is not certain to play in New York’s Thanksgiving Day matchup with the Cowboys and that Drew Lock will take some first-team reps in practice.

DeVito briefly exited the Giants’ 30-7 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday, but he was able to return. It sounds like he is experiencing some lingering effects of that injury.
DeVito finished 21/31 for 189 yards against the Bucs. The Giants offense looked no better with him than Daniel Jones, which led to some vulgar criticism from one of New York’s star players.
If DeVito is unable to play on Thanksgiving, Lock will likely start. Lock signed a $5 million deal with the Giants this offseason, and he had a telling response to not being named the starter when Jones was benched.
