## Thanksgiving Showdown: Giants and Cowboys Quarterbacks Questionable for Thursday
NFL fans braced for an intriguing matchup this Thanksgiving as backup quarterbacks Tommy DeVito for the New York Giants and Cooper Rush for the Dallas Cowboys faced off. However, the buzz around the game has taken a turn for the worse with the status of both quarterbacks now in question for Thursday's clash.
Tommy DeVito, who suffered a right forearm injury after his first start on Sunday, was reported by ESPN's Adam Schefter to be uncertain for the Thanksgiving Day game. Notably, DeVito is not traveling with his Giants teammates to Dallas but will instead fly there separately. If DeVito misses the game, Drew Lock is expected to step in as the starting quarterback. DeVito had recently taken over after the Giants decided to bench and then release Daniel Jones following a disappointing 2-8 start to the season. DeVito's tenure began with a rough loss, 30-7, to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, marking the Giants' ninth defeat of the season. Depending on Lock's performance, DeVito's future with the team could be in jeopardy.
Meanwhile, Cooper Rush, who has been experiencing knee soreness, remains a game-time decision for Thursday. Should Rush be unable to play, Trey Lance is prepared to step into the quarterback role. Rush has been filling in for Dak Prescott, who is out for the season due to a hamstring injury, starting the last three games for the Cowboys.
Both the Giants and Cowboys have endured a season rife with quarterback challenges and uncertainties. With the possibility of both teams fielding third-string quarterbacks, Thursday's Thanksgiving game could offer an unexpected twist for NFL viewers.
