Giants' Declare Four Out of Sunday's Game vs. Ravens

In this story:
At least four players on this week’s New York Giants inactive list are set after being declared out due to injuries.
The four include linebacker Bobby Okereke (back), defensive lineman Rakeem Nunez-Roches (neck/shoulder), cornerback Dru Phillips (shoulder), and guard Jon Runyan Jr (ankle).
Okereke, Nunez-Riches, and Phillips are all set to miss their second straight game, while Runyan will miss the first of what’s expected to be multiple games for the rest of the season.
Quarterback Drew Lock (heel/left elbow), who is out of a boot, received a doubtful injury designation. Still, head coach Brian Daboll indicated that Lock will probably serve as the emergency quarterback on Sunday when the Giants host the Baltimore Ravens.
Tommy DeVito will get the start at quarterback and be backed up by Tim Boyle, who is currently on the Giants’ practice squad and who will be added to the 53-man roster, most likely as a standard elevation rather than as a 53-man roster signing since the Giants can use three elevations on Boyle.
Cornerback Cor’Dale Flott (quad) is also listed as doubtful for Sunday. But Deonte Banks, who missed last week’s game with a rib injury, received a questionable designation after being declared out last week.
In other encouraging news, left tackle Jermaine Eluemunor, who has been sidelined with a quad injury the last two games, and center John Michael Schmitz (neck) are good to go after not receiving injury designations. The same can be said of offensive tackle Evan Neal (hip/ankle), while backup Christopher Hubbard (knee) is questionable.
