Won't play against Dallas
Neal (neck) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Neal was held out of practice all week due to a neck injury, and the fourth-year offensive lineman will end the year on injured reserve.

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.
