4. Major concern arrives on right tackle Evan Neal

Hearts dropped all over the place when rookie right tackle Evan Neal went down with what looked to be a serious knee injury. According to Tom Pelissero, the initial belief is that the former Alabama standout suffered an MCL injury and he’s going to undergo additional tests to determine how serious this is.

However, the Giants wasted no time in ruling Neal out for the rest of the game and there’s most definitely a ton of fear among the fanbase that Neal could miss a significant amount of time. If this turns out to be the case, it would be a major blow for this offense and the offensive line as a whole here.

The o-line has dealt with so many injuries already this year and Neal has really made a lot of strides in recent weeks. He struggled early on this campaign, recording a nightmare showing against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 3. However, Neal looked strong in the wins over the Packers and Ravens. You hate to see the youngster have to deal with this kind of adversity.
