Gets green light to practice
The Giants designated Neal (hamstring) for return to practice from their injured reserve list Tuesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Neal was placed on the Giants' injured reserve list with a hamstring injury ahead of their Week 11 contest versus the Packers, and after missing the team's last four games, he now appears to be on track to return to action soon. However, with the club mostly healthy on the offensive line, Neal wouldn't figure to play in Week 16 even if he became available again.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Neal struggled as a rookie after being taken seventh overall by the Giants in the 2022 Draft. He's penciled in as the team's starting right tackle and will have every opportunity to show improvement this season, but how he performs could go a long way toward determining his long-term NFL outlook.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Has drawn trade interest
Neal was the subject of trade talks between the Giants and Raiders, NFL insider Josina Anderson reports.
ANALYSIS
While no deal materialized, it's somewhat surprising that there's been interest at all in the 2022 seventh overall pick, who has yet to play a game this season for New York after being converted from tackle to guard. Neal will be a free agent in the offseason, but a team like the Raiders might be willing to give him some playing time and potentially get a jump on signing him if a fresh start can reawaken some of the talent he showed in college at Alabama.
