New York Giants quarterback Tommy DeVito is listed as inactive for Thursday’s game against the Dallas Cowboys because of his forearm injury, and Drew Lock is expected to start in his place.

DeVito did not travel with the team to Dallas on Wednesday as he was undergoing further evaluation, the Giants said. However, the team said it expected him to travel to Dallas later Wednesday.

DeVito had several big hits in Sunday’s 30-7 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He got his first start of the season after the Giants released former starter Daniel Jones late last week.

The Giants are now turning to Lock after bypassing him following Jones’ benching of DeVito. Lock spent the first 10 weeks of the season as the backup, with DeVito as the third string/emergency quarterback.

Lock has a short week and no real practices to get ready for the matchup between NFC East rivals. He will also play behind an offensive line without its starting tackles. Andrew Thomas (foot) is on injured reserve and Jermaine Eluemunor (quad) was ruled out Wednesday.
