Quarterback Drew Lock will take the reins on Thursday when the New York Giants visit the Dallas Cowboys for a Thanksgiving Day contest in Arlington, Texas.

ESPN reported Wednesday that DeVito, elevated to No. 1 last week after the Giants demoted — then released — starter Daniel Jones, didn’t even make the trip to Texas because of injury.

After his first start of the season, a 30-7 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last Sunday, DeVito said he wasn’t feeling great after enduring four sacks. Coach Brian Daboll said earlier this week that the injury was to DeVito’s forearm.

“My whole body is kind of sore. First time playing in a while, took a couple of shots,” DeVito said Tuesday. “I’m planning to play. See how I feel (Wednesday). Hopefully I feel a little bit better after some more treatment.”

DeVito didn’t practice Wednesday for the Giants (2-9).

DeVito jumped Lock from No. 3 on the depth chart and started Sunday. He completed 21 of 31 passes for 189 yards.

Lock, who spent last season with the Seattle Seahawks, signed a one-year, $5 million deal with the Giants in the offseason. The 28-year-old has appeared in three games with New York, completing 4 of 9 pass attempts for nine yards.

Lock has played in 31 career games (23 starts) with the Denver Broncos (2019-21), Seahawks (2023) and Giants. With a 9-14 record as a starter, Lock has completed 59.5 percent of his pass attempts for 5,292 yards with 28 touchdowns and 23 interceptions.

Dallas is 4-7 on the season.
