Evan Neal Returns To Giants Practice

Evan Neal Returns To Giants Practice

3 months ago

New York Giants offensive lineman Evan Neal (ankle) has returned to practice after coming off the PUP list. The 23-year-old Alabama product, who underwent ankle surgery in January and appeared to have a setback during OTAs, has expressed his readiness to embrace any role the team assigns him, stating, "I'll embrace whatever role the team has for me." Since joining the NFL, Neal, drafted in the first round of 2022, has struggled with injuries and performance issues. During camp, Jermaine Eluemunor has been working at right tackle and might compete for the position if the Giants don't move him back to guard. Last season, Neal allowed 29 pressures on 309 pass-blocking snaps over seven games, with his performance hampered by technical flaws and ongoing injuries. With the Giants' offense needing improvement, they hope Neal can finally tap into the potential that earned him a top-ten draft pick.
