Evan Neal is itching for some Giants action — and he may get his wish
NY Post
Evan Neal might have angered the football gods somewhere along the line.
The benched former first-round draft pick, who has been champing at the bit for another opportunity, could play his first snaps of the season for the Giants at right tackle in place of an injured Jermaine Eluemunor.
In that case, he will be thrown into the fire with the Steelers and former NFL Defensive Player of the Year T.J. Watt on the opposite side.
“My hunger never went anywhere,” Neal told The Post, tapping his chest with a closed fist. “But I understand that I can’t control a lot of my situation right now — I can’t sub myself into the game. I’m just ready. I’m not going to be too antsy. I’m not going to get in my head about it too much. If called upon, I’ll be ready.”
Eluemunor did not practice Friday due to a hip injury, leaving head coach Brian Daboll no more than “hopeful” before practice of his starter’s game-day availability.
