Giants Injury Report: Evan Neal Doubtful for Week 15

New York Giants tackle Evan Neal is doubtful for Sunday's team's game against the New Orleans Saints.

Neal, who has been battling an ankle injury, practices on a limited basis this week, the first time he's been able to practice since suffering the ankle issue over a month ago in the Giants' loss to the Las Vegas Raiders.

Tight end Darren Waller, who remains on injured reserve after missing five games with a hamstring ailment but who had his 21-day window opened on Thursday, is listed as questionable after practicing on a limited basis this week. The Giants would have to clear a roster spot to add Waller to the 53-man roster if he's ready to go; if he is, Waller will be on a pitch count this Sunday.

Waller told reporters earlier this week that he hoped to get the green light to return.

"What I want to do, and what I’ve been used to doing, is like 70-80 snaps a game," he said. "So, coming out the first week, probably not that, but as far as a number that’s solid that can contribute in whatever ways he needs me to contribute but also be fresh, assuming that’s realistic, but yeah, I plan on contributing given the opportunity."

The injury report also featured three new names, all of whom were limited participants in practice. The list included guard Justin Pugh (calf), who was listed as questionable, receiver Wan’Dale Robinson (quad), and linebacker Cam Brown (hamstring), all of whom were limited.

Robinson and Brown did not receive injury designations. Interior defensive lineman Dexter Lawrence (hamstring), also listed as a limited participant, received a "questionable" designation.
