Tommy DeVito instead of Lock, who New York said was doubtful to return.
General manager Joe Shoe later said that Lock was doing well and could have played again in the game if necessary.
Before Lock went down with the injury, he completed four of his 10 attempts for 17 yards and an interception. The former second-round draft pick had 12 yards on a pair of scrambles. Big Blue’s offense had two three-and-outs and managed just three first downs in its four drives.
