Giants LT Jermaine Eluemunor Out, QB Tommy DeVito Questionable for Dallas Game
New York Giants left tackle Jermaine Eluemunor (quad) has been declared out of Thursday’s game against the Dallas Cowboys.
Eluemunor, who was injured in the first quarter of last week’s Giants' loss to the Bucs, tried to get back into the game but was projected to not be able to practice all this week by the team, which held three walkthroughs Monday through Wednesday.
With Eluemuor sidelined, Chris Hubbard is likely going to get the start at left tackle, though that could depend on whether Tyre Phillips, signed to the roster a couple of weeks ago, is ready to play.
Quarterback Tommy Devito, who on Tuesday admitted to being sore from the beating he took on Sunday, had his projected practice status downgraded from limited to “did not participate.” As such, he received a questionable injury designation for the game.
DeVito, named the starter last week after the Giants benched now-former quarterback Daniel Jones, told reporters on Tuesday that he would do everything possible to be ready to play on Thursday. However, he also admitted that if the game were on Sunday, and he had some additional time to recover, his chances to play would be better.
Backup quarterback Drew Lock took some additional reps during the team’s walkthrough practices this week. If DeVito can’t play, Lock will get the start and be backed up by Tim Boyle.
DeVito would more than likely be designated as the emergency quarterback in that instance since the Giants don’t have another healthy arm on the roster or practice squad.
The other injury to watch is starting cornerback Deonte Banks (rib), who received a questionable injury designation. Banks has been limited in practice all week, and his situation is likely a matter of pain tolerance. If he can’t go, the Giants will likely have Adoree’ Jackson and Cor’Dale Flott as their starting cornerbacks.
Per a Giants spokesperson, DeVito, Eluemunor, and Watts did not accompany the team on their charter flight to Dallas. However, DeVito will travel to Dallas separately and is expected to arrive later in the day. Still his chances of playing remain sketchy at best.
