The Giants made a qualifying offer to Donnell (neck) on Thursday, Jordan Raanan of NJ.com reports.
Donnell's season was cut short due to an undisclosed neck injury, as he didn't make an appearance after Week 8. At that point, he had backed up a 2014 campaign in which he accrued 63 receptions (on 92 targets) for 623 yards and six touchdowns with 29 more catches for 223 yards and two scores. While his health remains in question, the Giants will have right of first refusal on Donnell, who enters free agency without receiving medical clearance to date.
