Ryan Neal Being Evaluated For Concussion

Ryan Neal Being Evaluated For Concussion

one year ago

Tampa Bay Buccaneers safety Ryan Neal (head) is being evaluated for a concussion in the Week 4 game against the New Orleans Saints, so he'll be questionable to return on Sunday. The Buccaneers secondary is already thin with defensive back Jamel Dean (neck, shoulder) and cornerback Derrek Pitts (hamstring) being ruled out coming into the game. Dee Delaney has replaced Neal and could play meaningful snaps the rest of the way against New Orleans if Neal is unable to clear the concussion protocol. If Neal indeed has a concussion, he'll have extra time to rest up with the Bucs on bye in Week 5. They don't play again until Oct. 15 against the visiting Detroit Lions.
