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 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 participated in drills during OTAs on Monday, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports. Neal underwent surgery for a fractured ankle back in December, but he's apparently now healthy enough for football activities again. He's been largely disappointing at right tackle since the Giants selected him with the seventh overall pick in 2022, but he doesn't turn 24 until September, so it might still be too early to declare him a draft bust.

Neal will undergo surgery to repair a fractured ankle, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports. Neal had been diagnosed with a high-ankle sprain in his left ankle and hasn't played since Week 9 against the Raiders. He was recently placed on season-ending injured reserve and will likely spend the first part of the offseason rehabbing. Tyre Phillips has been making starts at right tackle for the Giants.
