New York Giants quarterback Drew Lock is preparing to serve as the backup to Daniel Jones, acknowledging his role and expressing willingness to step in if needed. Lock, acquired in free agency, hopes to be ready if called upon, despite not expecting a competition for the starting job.

The Giants' investment in Jones makes him the likely starter, but Lock's experience and ability to win games could provide a valuable option if Jones falters or gets injured, potentially prompting a quarterback change with a competent backup on the roster.
