Things weren't supposed to go down this way for former Alabama football standout offensive lineman Evan Neal. He was a first-round pick with the NY Giants in 2022 and he was expected to be a stud tackle on the other end of the line from Andrew Thomas.
Instead, there's no way back for him in East Rutherford. On Sunday, the inactives were just announced for the G-Men going up against Washington in Week 1. In a bit of a stunner, it was announced that Neal is on that list. That's right, he's a healthy scratch to open the new season.
