Neal went down while blocking for running back Saquon Barkley on a 5-yard run. Tyre Phillips came in for Neal.
The Giants offensive line has taken some hits Sunday, with offensive lineman Ben Bredeson going down with an injury shortly before Neal was carted off.
The Giants drafted Neal out of Alabama with the No. 7 overall pick this offseason to help protect quarterback Daniel Jones.
The surprising Giants entered Sunday's game at 5-1.
