Evan Neal: Everything you need to know

Neal (neck) and the Giants agreed to a one-year contract Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports. Neal did not appear in a regular-season game for the Giants in 2025. He landed on injured reserve in mid-November due to a hamstring injury but suffered back and neck injuries while attempting to return from IR. Neal has appeared in only 29 regular-season games (27 starts) since being selected by the Giants with the No. 7 pick of the 2022 NFL Draft. He'll likely operate in a rotational role for the Giants in 2026.

Neal (neck) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. Neal was held out of practice all week due to a neck injury, and the fourth-year offensive lineman will end the year on injured reserve. He did not appear in a regular-season game prior to being placed on IR in mid-November, and the 2022 first-rounder will focus on being fully healthy for the start of the 2026 campaign.

Neal (neck) did not practice Wednesday, Matt Citak of the Giants' official site reports. Neal remains on injured reserve but had his 21-day practice window opened 14 days ago. He was a full participant in practice his first day on the practice field, so it appears he's since suffered a setback or the Giants could be opting to simply shut him down for the remainder of a lost season.
