The New York Giants will start quarterback Drew Lock against the New Orleans Saints on Sunday, head coach Brian Daboll told reporters, according to team reporter Dan Salomone.

Tommy DeVito's injured forearm is "improving" but he'll be limited in practice, Daboll added.

Lock made his first start of the campaign against the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving. He completed 61% of his attempts for 187 yards, no touchdowns, and an interception in the loss. He added 70 yards and a rushing score on five carries.

His second start comes against a Saints defense that ranks 30th in total yards (385.1) and 19th in points (23.4) allowed per game this season.

Lock, 28, has recorded a 59.7% completion rate, 5,470 yards, 28 touchdowns, and 24 picks in 32 career games (24 starts) since being selected 42nd overall in the 2019 draft.
