The New York Giants received some good news today as offensive tackle Evan Neal passed his physical and was activated off the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list. According to a press release from the Giants, Neal is now cleared to participate in practices and potentially play in upcoming games.
Evan Neal Returns to Action participated in individual drills
Neal wasted no time getting back into the swing of things. He participated in individual drills during today’s practice, signaling his eagerness to contribute. When speaking with reporters, Neal expressed a humble and team-first attitude, stating, “I’m not owed anything.” He made it clear that he’s ready to embrace any role the team sees fit for him, whether that’s as a backup or even at guard.
I can’t help but feel a mix of concern and optimism. It’s likely that Neal has lost his starting position after missing valuable time in training camp. However, this could be a blessing in disguise. The changes in the Giants’ coaching staff might provide Neal with the guidance he needs to develop into the player the team hoped he would be when they drafted him. The coaching staff’s approach could be crucial for Neal’s growth, helping him adjust and refine his game.
While it remains to be seen what role Neal will ultimately play, his willingness to adapt and the potential for improved coaching are positive signs. The Giants are in the midst of building a competitive roster, and Neal’s development could play a key role in their future success. For now, all eyes will be on how he progresses in the coming weeks.
