Giants fans were furious after a mysterious Evan Neal injury update.

Giants fans are tired of 2023 weird injury updates after the latest Evan Neal news. Getty New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll had to explain a lot of strange injury updates and timelines in 2023. The New York Giants suffered several head-scratching injuries in 2023, from left tackle Andrew Thomas to quarterback Daniel Jones.

The latest mystery update involved right tackle Evan Neal, who has been sidelined for the rest of the year with a bad ankle sprain. Except, it wasn’t a sprained ankle. Giants right tackle Evan Neal has a broken left ankle that will require surgery.

“Neal’s injury on Nov. 5 in Las Vegas was initially diagnosed as a sprained left ankle.” “GM Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll expressed optimism that the 23-year-old Neal could return to action this season,” Leonard explained. “He even started working on the practice side. But the Giants suddenly shut Neal down and put him on injured reserve on Christmas Eve. “That’s why Evan Neal’s season ended early,” emphasized. Giants fans were fed up with the medical staff after the Evan Neal injury update As news of Neal’s fracture spread on social media, Giants fans followed the NYG medical staff with X. “EXPELL THE ENTIRE MEDICAL STAFF,” said popular podcaster Big Blue. “Like, what are we doing here? What happened with the twist?” Several comments agreed. “Mistreatment. Makes you wonder what else is wrong with them this year,” one user wrote. Another said: “How did they miss the broken ankle??? Something doesn’t sound right about that! Do we know exactly which bone was broken that wasn’t seen in November?” “Is there a problem with the medical staff?” asked a third fan. “It seems like they misjudged the severity of several injuries this year to [Saquon] Barkley, Thomas and now Neal. Both of them were out longer than their IR period would have been, but we didn’t put them on IR. Do. do do you understand?” Finally, one response was directed at Daboll. “Among many failings, Daboll’s management of injured players has been truly appalling,” it noted. Whether it’s Daboll or the medical staff, something strange has happened in the Giants’ injury management department in 2023 — and it’s been very noticeable that not everyone is on the same page. Sometimes Daboll and Schoen are completely gone when it comes to injuries.

Thomas and Neal have experienced various setbacks in their recoveries, while Jones is expected to undergo treatment before Week 8 against the New York Jets despite being ruled out by the head coach on Friday. The franchise has also been plagued by injuries this year, calling into question the coaching and conditioning staff. Giants director of strength and conditioning will leave before week 17 Shortly before their Week 17 game against the Los Angeles Rams, the Giants announced the departure of Craig Fitzgerald, NYG director of strength and performance. According to Jacob Rudner of 247 Sports and CBS Sports, Fitzgerald took the job with the Florida Gators on December 24th. Daboll also confirmed this news at the press conference held on Friday, December 29. “It’s an important position,” Daboll told reporters of Fitzgerald, who has been with the organization since 2020. “Fitz did a great job. It’s an opportunity he was willing to take.” The Giants HC added that his staff will address the open position after the season. Although Daboll didn’t say one way or the other, it seems that Fitzgerald decided to leave – not the other way around. “We are excited to welcome Craig and his family — his wife Mary and sons Mac, Joe and Luke — to Gainesville and the UF community,” Gators head coach Billy Napier said, via team reporter Rick Hurtado. “We are very excited to add coach Fitz to our team. He has significant experience in both college and the NFL. He helps every player in our team realize their potential. His reputation is second to none and we are excited about his leadership role and the impact he will have on our entire organization. Hurtado later wrote that “in his first year in New York, Fitzgerald’s thorough and consistent analysis and tailored training regimens led to the largest reduction in football injuries in the NFL last season in 2020. His approach to injury prevention helped the Giants finish in their second. season in the NFC East.” Obviously, things have changed a lot for Big Blue since then, although Fitzgerald’s departure does not appear to be related to recent injuries.
