Neal (hip) does not carry an injury designation ahead of Thursday's game at Dallas. Neal missed practice Monday and was limited at practice Tuesday and Wednesday due to a hip issue, but he'll be available for the Giants in Week 13 anyway. He figures to start at right tackle against the Cowboys.
Head coach Brian Daboll said Tuesday that he's optimistic that Neal (hip) will be able to play against the Cowboys on Thursday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports. After not participating in Monday's walkthrough, Neal was able to get in some limited work Tuesday. Barring a setback, it appears Neal will suit up for Thursday's NFC East clash and play through a hip injury.
Neal (hip) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice report, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports. Neal didn't miss a snap during Sunday's loss to the Buccaneers, so it seems like he may have suffered then played through the hip injury. With the Giants traveling to Dallas for a Thanksgiving Day matchup, the Alabama product won't have too much time to recover. A clearer picture of his status for the matchup will likely come Tuesday or Wednesday.
Neal (ankle) was left off the Giants' injury report Wednesday ahead of Sunday's Week 1 contest against the Vikings. The 2022 first-round pick out of Alabama sustained an ankle injury toward the end of August, but it appears he's recovered in time to suit up for New York's Week 1 outing. After two disappointing seasons to start his NFL career, Thomas is expected to back up Jermaine Eluemunor at right tackle in 2024.
Neal appeared optimistic following Saturday's preseason game against the Jets, telling reporters that he feels OK after leaving the contest with an ankle injury, Charlotte Carroll of The Athletic reports. It's the same ankle that Neal got offseason surgery on, which kept him out of team drills until he was reinstated from the active/PUP list Aug. 11. The 2022 first-round lineman will get a scan on his ankle Sunday, but he appears to be optimistic that he will avoid a multi-week absence. Neal has started in all 20 regular-season games he has appeared in over the past two years, though he is projected to serve in a backup role on the offensive line for 2024.
Neal is questionable to return to Saturday's preseason game against the Jets due to an ankle injury, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. Given that Neal opened training camp on the active/PUP list while recovering from offseason ankle surgery, it wouldn't be a surprise if the 2022 first-round pick doesn't return to Saturday's contest. Neal is slated to serve as the Giants' backup right tackle behind Jermaine Eluemunor.
Neal (ankle) returned from the active/PUP list Sunday, Michael Eisen of the Giants' official site reports. The offensive tackle is only back for individual drills at this point, not team drills, per Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record. That leaves Jermaine Eluemunor ahead of Neal on the depth chart for now, though Neal should have a chance to start once he's fully back. The 2022 first-round pick underwent ankle surgery in January.
Neal was placed on the Giants' active/PUP list Tuesday. Neal will remain on the sideline for the start of training camp as he is still recovering from ankle surgery he underwent in January. As the Giants currently lack depth along the offensive line, once healthy the 2022 first-round pick should get another chance to start at right tackle despite struggling across his first two seasons.
Neal (ankle) is not participating in minicamp this week, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports. Neal underwent surgery to repair a fractured ankle in early January and participated in individual drills during OTAs. However, head coach Brian Daboll has said the team is now backing off the 2022 first-round selection. It's unclear if Neal has suffered an actual setback in his recovery, or if his participation in OTAs proved he wasn't quite healthy enough to compete yet. His status for the start of training camp is still to be determined.
