Neal was the last of this year's Giants remaining on the PUP list.
New York Giants offensive tackle Evan Neal, who began training camp on the PUP list after being believed to have suffered a setback in his rehab during the spring that caused the team to shut him down for the rest of OTAs and the mandatory minicamp, was activated off the PUP list by the team on Sunday.
Neal, at best right now, and barring injury, will likely compete with Joshua Ezeudu for the swing tackle role. Instead, tight end Tyree Jackson, who was a college quarterback at Buffalo, will serve as the emergency quarterback this weekend when the Giants play the Houston Texans in the second of three preseason games on their schedule.
In more good news on the injury front, center John Michael Schmitz, who has missed a week and a half with a shoulder issue, returned to practice Sunday. Schmitz will begin as limited and work his way back into the fold.
