Evan Neal practices with the Giants. He's still not sure he'll play for them again
Despite Evan Neal practicing after a hamstring injury, the Giants declined his $16.7 million fifth-year option and do not expect him to play without injuries, signaling a likely free agency departure.
- This week Evan Neal's practice window opened from a hamstring injury and he practiced with the New York Giants Wednesday, though the Giants did not pick up his fifth-year option.
- After moving from tackle to guard, Evan Neal has not taken a single snap this year and was a healthy scratch for nine of the first 10 games, playing just 16 games since his rookie season.
- Coach Kafka emphasized Wednesday he's not considering playing Neal to evaluate him, stating `We’ve got five guys that are playing their butt off right now for us and we're not looking to make any changes`, despite Neal's limited 29-game NFL record.
- With his roster future unclear, Evan Neal uses the practice window to stay in shape and focus on what he can control while preparing for free agency this spring.
- Among the implications for the front office is increased scrutiny of Joe Schoen, Giants general manager, as Evan Neal, Deonte Banks, and Jalin Hyatt struggle to meet expectations.
