The New York Giants placed right tackle Evan Neal on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list as the team reported for their 2024 training camp.
Neal missed the final half of last season with an ankle fracture and the team is taking no chances as the former first-rounder attempts to jumpstart his sagging career.
Cornerback Aaron Robinson, a 2021 third-round pick who has played in just 11 games as a Giant, was also placed on PUP.
Defensive backs Jalen Mills and Stanley Thomas-Oliver were placed on the NFI, or non-football injury list.
We have made the following roster moves prior to the start of training camp:
Placed on PUP:
▪️ T Evan Neal
▪️ CB Aaron RobinsonDeclared Non-Football Injury:
▪️ DB Jalen Mills

Quarterback Daniel Jones, who missed the second half of last season with a torn ACL, was cleared for camp.
The Giants are prepared for a prolonged absence from Neal, signing Jermaine Eluemunor in free agency and have Joshua Ezeude returning healthy from an injury-riddled 2023.
