Giants’ Evan Neal, Tyre Phillips had successful surgeries on Tuesday

Two New York Giants offensive linemen underwent surgery this week to repair season-ending injuries — one in North Carolina and one in New York.

From SNY:

Neal had a procedure after sustaining a small fracture in his ankle on Tuesday by Dr. Robert Anderson in Charlotte, North Carolina. Neal originally sustained the ankle in early November at Las Vegas and was unable to return to action, limiting the former first-round draft pick to just seven games in his second NFL season.

Phillips, who tore his quadriceps in Big Blue’s Week 17 loss to the Los Angeles Rams last Sunday, underwent an operation on Tuesday in New York City with Dr. Scott Rodeo.

The Giants claim they aren’t worried about Neal, who many are ready to label a “bust,” but it’s difficult to believe they aren’t seeking alternatives at right tackle. There has been talk about moving Neal to guard next year.

Phillips was one of the players the Giants brought in to spell Neal after this injury. He has been a decent swing tackle and they could consider bringing him back next year.
