EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Giants backup quarterback Drew Lock left New York’s pre-season opener late in the first quarter Thursday night against the Detroit Lions because of a hip injury.
Lock, a six-year veteran who signed as a free agent in the off-season, went to his knees shortly after throwing a deep sideline pass on third down to Isaiah McKenzie with 2:03 left in the quarter. He was looked at by trainers and went to the sideline.
Lock was 4 of 10 for 17 yards in getting the start with Daniel Jones and most of the offense sitting out. He was sacked two plays before leaving the field, but it was not clear when the injury happened.
Local hero Tommy DeVito replaced him for a fourth-down play from the Lions 39 but he only took a delay of game penalty and New York punted.
