The NY Giants are finally starting to get some positive injurt news. Earlier in the week, the G-Men activated Azeez Ojulari, Tony Jefferson and Ben Bredeson off of Injured Reserve. This was something celebrated all over East Rutherford.

Not only that, though, it’s looking like rookie right tackle Evan Neal could be back fighting in the trenches this Sunday against the Washington Commanders as well. Both Neal and Ojulari were full participants at practice on Tuesday. That’s another major win for head coach Brian Daboll, plus Mike Kafka and Wink Martindale.

The Ojulari and Neal news is one thing, but they’re not the only ones who could make a Week 13 return as well. Jon Feliciano, Daniel Bellinger, Fabian Moreau, Bredeson and Jefferson also could be ready to rock.

Out of all those guys, goodness, a Bellinger appearance vs. Washington would be fantastic to see. This team has missed the heck out of the rookie tight end from the moment he went down against the Jacksonville Jaguars with his fractured eye socket. That was a nasty injury and it put a hault to Bellinger’s impressive first campaign with NY.

Neal’s presence on the offensive line is monstrous. He’s dealing with his bum knee, but him practicing in full on Tuesday should mean he’s trending in the right direction to play later this week. The same can be said for Ojulari. We’ll find out soon enough who will be able to make plays for Daboll, but Giants fans should get pumped about seeing key players back in action.
