Mandatory minicamp begins for the New York Giants on Tuesday. A lot of other NFL teams will be going through NFL Minicamps as well. There is already a bunch of drama about who is missing camp and who is not.

The New York Giants had a rough year last season with a 6-11 record. They had one of the worst offensive lines in the NFL and it was one of the reasons why the Giants had a horrendous offense a season ago. New York made moves during the offseason to try and fix the offensive issues from a season ago.

Giants head coach Brian Daboll met with the media on Tuesday morning during the Mandatory minicamp session. He told the media that starting right tackle Evan Neal will not be participating in mandatory minicamp so he can recover and be ready for the start of NFL training camp.

Neal is projected to be the starting right tackle this season for the New York Giants. During his second NFL season last year, he struggled big time on the field and also was dealing with injuries. Some fans are already labeling him as a bust. He was the seventh overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft out of Alabama.
During the offseason, general manager Joe Schoen signed some players to help upgrade the offensive line. Jermaine Eluemunor and Jon Runyan were free-agent pickups in the offseason. Eluemunor played for the New England Patriots in 2023 and Runyan played for the Green Bay Packers in 2023.
Eluemunor will be the right tackle for the time being with Evan Neal out for the New York Giants. If Neal is not ready to go to training camp, it could be a huge problem for them. Another thing the Giants did this offseason to help the offensive line was fire Bobby Johnson as the offensive line coach.

They hired Carmen Bricillo as the offensive line coach. He was the Las Vegas Raiders offensive line coach last season. Bricillo hopes he can fix the New York Giants offensive line this season, especially Evan Neal when he returns to the field.
