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).
