Evan Neal, a former first-round pick by the New York Giants, will make his first start of the 2024 season at right tackle against the Carolina Panthers in Germany. After a challenging start to his career, with injuries and limited playtime, Neal's return aims to address the Giants' offensive line issues following Andrew Thomas's foot injury. Jermaine Eluemunor will move from right to left tackle, marking the Giants' third starting left tackle in four games this season. Coach Brian Daboll had previously hesitated to start Neal, citing concerns over his performance and readiness post-injury. The Giants' decision is largely driven by the struggles of recent left tackle starters Josh Ezeudu and Chris Hubbard. This change comes as the Giants, currently at 2-7, face the Panthers, who have the league's lowest sack count.
