Reports: Seahawks re-sign QB Drew Lock

Drew Lock is returning for a second tour of duty as a backup quarterback for the Seattle Seahawks, multiple media outlets reported on Friday.

Lock, 28, is expected to sign a two-year, $5 million deal, per ESPN, after playing the 2024 season with the New York Giants.

Lock appeared in eight games with New York, posting a 1-4 record in five starts with 1,071 yards, six touchdown passes and five interceptions. He also rushed for two scores.

In five seasons with the Denver Broncos (2019-21), Seahawks (2022-23) and Giants, Lock is 10-18 as a starter, completing 59.6 percent of his passes for 6,354 yards with 34 touchdowns and 28 interceptions. He also has seven rushing scores.

Lock was a second-round pick of the Broncos in 2019 and came to Seattle in the 2022 trade that sent Russell Wilson to Denver.

Giants QB Drew Lock to start Sunday vs. Colts

Quarterback Drew Lock will start for the New York Giants on Sunday against the visiting Indianapolis Colts, coach Brian Daboll confirmed Tuesday.

Lock’s availability was uncertain after he injured his right shoulder during last weekend’s 34-7 setback against the Atlanta Falcons.

Lock, 28, underwent an MRI on Monday and the tests showed no damage, Daboll said.

In six games (three starts) this season, Lock has an 0-3 record and has completed 52.7 percent of his passes for 624 yards with one touchdown and four interceptions.

The Giants (2-13) take a 10-game losing streak — the longest in franchise history — into the meeting with the Colts (7-8).

Giants QB Drew Lock to have MRI on injured shoulder

New York Giants quarterback Drew Lock will have an MRI on his right shoulder after injuring it in Sunday’s 34-7 loss to the Atlanta Falcons, head coach Brian Daboll told reporters Monday.

The results of Monday’s MRI will help the team decide which quarterback gets the start in Week 17’s matchup with the Indianapolis Colts, Daboll said, continuing a season trend of question marks at the position.

New York has used four different quarterbacks this season, as longtime starter Daniel Jones was benched and later released on Nov. 22.

Lock sat out the Giants’ 35-14 loss in Week 15 to the visiting Baltimore Ravens due to heel and left elbow injuries.

Tommy DeVito started against the Ravens and sustained a concussion late in the second quarter.

Tim Boyle replaced DeVito and completed 12 of 24 passes for 123 yards with one touchdown and one interception in his debut with the team. Boyle had bounced between the practice squad and active roster since New York signed him in November.

The Giants (2-13) will try to snap a 10-game losing skid — the longest in franchise history — on Sunday when they host the Colts (7-8).

Lock, 28, is in his first season with the Giants and is 68-for-129 passing for 624 yards, one TD and four interceptions in six games (three starts).

The Denver Broncos selected Lock in the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft. He played three seasons for the Broncos (2019-21) before they traded him to the Seattle Seahawks in March 2022. He has passed for 5,907 yards with a 58.7 percent completion rate, 29 TDs and 27 interceptions in 34 career games (26 starts).

New York Giants quarterback Drew Lock is on track to start on Sunday against rookie Michael Penix Jr. and the host Atlanta Falcons, head coach Brian Daboll said Wednesday.

Lock sat out the Giants’ 35-14 loss to the visiting Baltimore Ravens last Sunday due to heel and left elbow injuries.

Tommy DeVito started against the Ravens and sustained a concussion late in the second quarter.

Tim Boyle replaced DeVito and completed 12 of 24 passes for 123 yards with one touchdown and one interception in his debut with the team. Boyle had bounced between the practice squad and active roster since New York signed him in November.

The Giants (2-12) will look to snap a nine-game losing skid on Sunday when they visit the Falcons (7-7).

New York has used four different quarterbacks this season, as longtime starter Daniel Jones was benched and later released on Nov. 22.

Lock, 28, is in his first season with the Giants and is 46-for-90 passing for 414 yards, no TDs and two interceptions in five games (two starts).

The Denver Broncos selected Lock in the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft. He played three seasons for the Broncos (2019-21) before they traded him to the Seattle Seahawks in March 2022. He has passed for 5,697 yards with a 58.8 percent completion rate, 28 TDs and 25 interceptions in 33 career games (25 starts).

East Rutherford, NJ -- December 15, 2024 -- GiantÕs quarterbacks Tommy DeVito, Drew Lock and Tim Boyle during pre game warm ups as the Baltimore Ravens came to MetLife Stadium to play the New York Giants.

Tommy DeVito in concussion protocol as Giants sort through QB options

The New York Giants’ quarterback situation remains in flux, with head coach Brian Daboll announcing Monday that Tommy DeVito is in concussion protocol and Drew Lock is still recovering from heel and left elbow injuries.

“… We’ll see where these guys are at each day, and Wednesday, hopefully, they’ll be ready to go,” Daboll said at his press conference.

DeVito started Sunday’s home game against the Baltimore Ravens and was injured late in the second quarter. He exited after completing 10 of 13 passes for 68 yards in the 35-14 loss in East Rutherford, N.J.

Tim Boyle, who had bounced between the practice squad and active roster since the New York signed him in November, replaced DeVito for the remainder of the game and finished 12 of 24 for 123 yards, one touchdown and one interception in his Giants debut.

Daboll was asked if Boyle could be the starter when the Giants (2-12) visit the Atlanta Falcons (6-7) on Sunday.

“Well, it depends on how these other guys are health-wise, too,” Daboll said. “Again, I thought (Boyle) made some nice throws. He was decisive with the football. He was ready to go. He was prepared. He’s worked extremely hard since he’s been here. He made the most of his opportunity, the chance he got to be in there.”

The Giants have used four different quarterbacks this season, as longtime starter Daniel Jones was benched and later released on Nov. 22. DeVito got a start but injured his forearm, and Lock started two games before hurting his heel against New Orleans on Dec. 8.

DeVito, 26, has played in three games this season (two starts) and is 31 of 44 for 257 yards and no touchdowns or interceptions.

He played in nine games as an undrafted rookie last season, starting six and going 3-3 with 1,101 passing yards, eight TDs and three picks.

Lock, 28, is in his first season with the Giants and is 46-for-90 passing for 414 yards, no TDs and two interceptions in five games (two starts).

The Denver Broncos selected Lock in the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft. He played three seasons for the Broncos (2019-21) before they traded him to the Seattle Seahawks in March 2022. He has passed for 5,697 yards with a 58.8 percent completion rate, 28 TDs and 25 interceptions in 33 career games (25 starts).

Boyle, 30, has played parts of six seasons for six teams, including Miami earlier this season. He appeared in two games with the Dolphins and one for the Giants for a combined 27-of-50 passing for 276 yards, one TD and one pick.

He has passed for 1,210 yards and five TDs against 13 interceptions in 23 games (five starts) in 23 career games (five starts).

Giants QB Tommy DeVito in line to start vs. Ravens

New York Giants quarterback Tommy DeVito is expected to start Sunday’s game against the visiting Baltimore Ravens should Drew Lock be unable to play, head coach Brian Daboll announced Wednesday.

Per Daboll, DeVito will take first-team reps in practice on Wednesday with Lock in a walking boot due to a heel injury.

DeVito injured his forearm in New York’s 30-7 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Nov. 24. Lock replaced DeVito to finish that contest and started the next two for the Giants (2-11), who have lost eight in a row heading into their game against the Ravens (8-5) in East Rutherford, N.J.

DeVito, 26, has completed 21 of 31 passes for 189 yards in parts of two games (one start) this season.

He has completed 64.6 percent of his passes for 1,290 yards with eight touchdowns and three interceptions in 11 career games (seven starts) with the Giants.

Giants intend to stay with QB Drew Lock if healthy

On an eight-game losing streak, New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll said Monday he intends to have quarterback Drew Lock start again Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens if he is healthy.

Lock, 28, was 21-of-49 passing for 227 yards and an interception in Sunday’s 14-11 home loss to the New Orleans Saints. He led the team with 59 yards rushing on five carries.

Lock was experiencing soreness Monday morning in multiple areas and underwent an MRI, according to Daboll, who was not specific on the exact nature of the injuries.

New York has moved on from former first-round QB Daniel Jones this season, with Tommy DiVito starting in a loss to the Tampa Buccaneers in Week 12. Lock has started the last two games while completing 51.9 percent of his passes for a combined 405 yards and two interceptions without a touchdown.

In 33 games (25 starts) over five seasons for the Denver Broncos (2019-21), Seattle Seahawks (2023) and Giants, Lock has completed 58.8 percent of his passes for 5,697 yards, 28 TDs and 25 interceptions.

Giants QB Drew Lock to start vs. Saints

New York Giants quarterback Drew Lock will start his second straight game Sunday against the visiting New Orleans Saints, coach Brian Daboll announced Wednesday.

Daboll also said Lock will take all of the first-team snaps in preparation for Sunday’s game in East Rutherford, N.J.

Lock, 28, completed 21 of 32 passes for 178 yards with an interception that was returned for a touchdown in the Giants’ 27-20 loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving Day. He added a team-leading 57 yards rushing and a touchdown.

New York (2-10) has lost seven in a row heading into its game against New Orleans (4-8).

Tommy DeVito started the Giants’ 30-7 setback to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Nov. 24. He injured his forearm in that game and will be limited in practice on Wednesday, Daboll said.

Report: QB Drew Lock to start for Giants; injured DeVito stays home

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.

Pete Carroll shakes off Seahawks QB controversy: ‘Geno is our starter’

So, Seattle, Drew or Geno?

Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll shot down any suggestion of a quarterback controversy in the afterglow of Drew Lock’s last-minute, game-winning-TD that lifted Seattle to 7-7 to remain in the wildcard hunt on Monday night.

Lock dropped a deep ball on the fingertips of rookie wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba for a 29-yard touchdown pass with 28 seconds left to give Seattle a 20-17 upset of the Philadelphia Eagles.

Subbing for injured starter Geno Smith, Lock piloted the Seahawks — starting at their own 8 with 1:52 left in the game — on only their third TD drive of 80 yards or more this season to snap a four-game losing streak.

But Carroll said Smith, out the past two games with a groin injury, is due back Sunday at Tennessee in another critical spot.

“Geno is our starter,” Carroll said of how he’d handle the QB spot against the Titans (5-9).

Carroll said Smith went through a rigorous pregame workout and was ready to start. But Carroll and general manager John Schneider decided to play it safe and start Lock.

“It was hard as can be on Geno (to tell him), ‘We will go with the other player, see if we can make it to next week,’” Carroll said.

Smith has thrown for 2,918 yards with 15 touchdowns and nine interceptions while going 6-6 in his starts. Lock is 1-1 as the starter, completing 48 of 76 passes for 543 yards with three TDs and three picks.
