New York Giants right tackle Evan Neal, who returned after a two-game absence due to a right ankle injury last week, is week-to-week with another ankle injury, this one to his left ankle, head coach Brian Daboll said on Wednesday. 

Neal was injured in the fourth quarter of the Giants' 30-6 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders last week. He told reporters after the game that he felt something similar in his left ankle as he had in his right one.

Neal will be replaced in the lineup by Tyre Phillips.

In other injury news, cornerback Adoree' Jackson and running back Deon Jackson are currently in the concussion protocol. The Giants signed running back Hassan Hall on Tuesday to their practice squad to provide depth in case Deon Jackson, who contributed on special teams, cannot play moving forward.

Offensive lineman Sean Harlow was not at practice, having been excused for a personal matter. Defensive lineman Dexter Lawrence received a rest day. 

Among those limited included receiver Parris Campbell (hamstring), running back Jashaun Corbin (hamstring), tackle Andrew Thomas (hamstring), safety Dane Belton (back), and guard Justin Pugh (ankle).

Daboll also announced that linebacker Azeez Ojulari, who has been on injured reserve with an ankle injury since Week 5, has officially been designated for return. Ojualri, who also missed Weeks 2 and 3 with a hamstring injury, will have a 21-day window to get back into playing shape. Daboll did not rule out having the linebacker available for this weekend's game against the Cowboys.

Ojulari was limited on the injury report.
