Giants’ Brian Daboll won’t commit to Week 1 return for Evan Neal

New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll addressed the media on Sunday morning before his team’s practice at the Quest Diagnostics Training Center.

The players had a day off on Saturday but it was back to business on Sunday.

Daboll announced the team released quarterback Nathan Rourke, leaving the team with just three for the remainder of training camp. Meanwhile, rookie tight end Theo Johnson, a fourth-round pick out of Penn State, was activated off the PUP list.

Daboll also said rookie safety Tyler Nubin (calf) would not practice again on Sunday but was “getting close” to returning. Defensive lineman Timmy Horne (calf) will return to work after a short absence.

Center John Michael Schmitz (shoulder) will be limited on Sunday.

The status of right tackle Evan Neal remains murky with Daboll refusing to commit to a Week 1 return. Currently, Neal is considered “day-to-day.”

Daboll spoke about the value edge rusher Brian Burns has had on both the players he’s playing alongside (Kayvon Thibodeaux, Azeez Ojulari) and the players he’s going up against (left tackle Andrew Thomas).

The Giants will conduct their first padded practice of training camp on Monday.
