The New York Giants are 6-1, including four straight victories.
New York earned a 23-17 victory in Sunday’s matchup against Jacksonville, but it came at a cost. Evan Neal, a former Alabama football alum, suffered a medial collateral ligament (MCL) injury to his knee. Neal was the first selection Brian Daboll and the Giants made in the NFL Draft at No. 7 overall. He earned Consensus All-American and first-team All-SEC honors in 2021.
The initial belief is #Giants RT Evan Neal suffered an MCL injury, per source. He’ll have more tests to determine the full extent.

Neal, a former five-star in Alabama’s 2019 signing class, won a College Football Playoff National Championship in 2020.
Per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, Neal will have more tests to determine the full extent of the injury.
