The New York Giants returned to practice on Wednesday afternoon to prepare for a Week 14 game against the New Orleans Saints at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
Before taking the field, head coach Brian Daboll took the podium and spoke to reporters.
Among Daboll's revelations was that quarterback Tommy DeVito is still dealing with a forearm injury, meaning Drew Lock will start Sunday. The coach would not commit to DeVito being a backup.
The Giants also designated linebacker Dyontae Johnson to return from injured reserve (IR). His 21-day window officially opened on Wednesday when he returned to training.
Daboll also shared ominous news about a host of other players, including offensive lineman Jermaine Eluemunor, saying that they all have a chance to play against the Saints but should be considered “week by week,” which is virtually the rest of the season Season includes.
“I would say week to week,” Daboll said of the injured players. “I think they all have a chance, but I think it's too early to say how optimistic I am about it.”
If Eluemunor and right tackle Evan Neal cannot play on Sunday, Chris Hubbard and Joshua Ezeudu will start.
