A pair of Giants right tackles, Evan Neal and Tyre Phillips, both underwent surgery this week, the team announced on Friday
Neal had a procedure after sustaining a small fracture in his ankle on Tuesday by Dr. Robert Anderson in Charlotte, North Carolina. Neal originally sustained the ankle in early November at Las Vegas and was unable to return to action, limiting the former first-round draft pick to just seven games in his second NFL season.
Phillips, who tore his quadriceps in Big Blue’s Week 17 loss to the Los Angeles Rams last Sunday, underwent an operation on Tuesday in New York City with Dr. Scott Rodeo.
For the season finale in New England on Sunday, the Giants will be without safety Jason Pinnock who was ruled out Friday by head coach Brian Daboll with a toe injury. Daboll added that safety Dane Belton (personal) had returned to practice and could play in Pinnock’s place.
Rookie cornerback Deonte Banks (shoulder) is being listed as doubtful, but after being a limited participant in this week’s practice.
Center John Michael Schmitz (shin) is now questionable and there are some signs that he will be active.
Jan. 1, 11:48 a.m.
Head coach Brian Daboll said Monday that offensive tackle Tyre Phillips suffered a torn quad against the Los Angeles Rams and will have surgery.
Phillips, 26, was carted off the field early in the fourth quarter on Sunday during the team’s 26-25 loss. He suffered a knee injury earlier in the game and was forced to the blue medical tent, but was able to return before reinjuring himself later in the game.
The 6-foot-5 lineman was originally a third-round pick out of Mississippi State by the Baltimore Ravens in the 2020 NFL Draft. Phillips played in 22 games (13 starts) over two seasons with the Ravens and then signed with the Giants on Sept. 1, 2022. He played 12 games (five starts) with Big Blue last season, and was then released by the team in August before the start of the 2023 season.
Phillips signed to the Eagles practice squad on Sept. 4, was then signed to the Giants active roster on Oct. 17, and has played 10 games (nine starts) this year. He is set to be a free agent this offseason.
