Evan Neal’s Thanksgiving was supposed to be more about a measuring stick than a drumstick
It still might be, if the rookie right tackle returns from a three-game absence due to injury to start for“I’m just making sure whenever I do go back out there I’m 100 percent ready to go,” Neal said Tuesday with tempered optimism. “I don’t want to leave a stone unturned and make a premature decision and something bad happens. I’m crossing every t and dotting every i, pretty much.”
“I’d love to be in this game,” Neal said. “But thankfully we see them twice a year every year. It’s going to be awesome.”The Giants could start any of three right tackles. If Neal can’t go, Tyre Phillips is next up. If Phillips can’t go, Matt Peart — who finished the game Sunday — could return to the starting lineup for the first time since last season, before a torn ACL that sidelined him until recently.
“You never really know until you take those live reps,” Neal said. “I can do drills on the side, and I can take pass sets and go on the boards, but that’s not blocking an NFL defensive end in a game situation. I really won’t know until I get back out there.”
