Overview
- Neal signed to the Eagles' practice squad Thursday following a tryout and a visible appearance at practice that reporters and the team confirmed.
- The team listed Neal as a guard, signaling an interior conversion rather than a return to his original right-tackle role.
- Neal was the No. 7 overall pick in 2022 who started 27 games for the Giants before injuries, inconsistent play and a 2025 stint as a healthy scratch and on injured reserve led to his release this year.
- Philadelphia also added running back Jaydon Blue and linebacker Anfernee Orji to the practice squad and waived tight end E.J. Jenkins in the same transaction.
- The signing is a low-cost evaluation move that gives Neal a second chance to revive his career and gives the Eagles short-term depth ahead of their coming matchup if injuries force further lineup changes.
