Overview
- Evan Neal practiced Wednesday for the first time in about a month after the Giants opened his injured‑reserve return window.
- Kafka said he does not plan to change the starting offensive line and does not expect Neal to play unless a starter is injured.
- Neal has not played a snap this season after a switch from tackle to guard and a training camp loss at right guard to Greg Van Roten.
- The Giants declined Neal’s $16.7 million fifth‑year option in April, signaling a limited commitment beyond this season.
- Reporting indicates Neal is likely to seek a fresh start in free agency, though he says he remains ready and values his versatility at tackle and guard.
