The New York Giants made a roster move this week that pretty much tells fans everything they need to know about where things stand with Evan Neal. The 2022 No. 7 overall pick was placed on injured reserve with a hamstring injury, and while that technically keeps the door cracked for a late-season return, everyone watching this team knows what this really is.

Mike Kaka said Evan Neal was injured during a workout and that's why the Giants placed him on IR. Neal hasn't played in a game all season. #Giants
