Season over with move to IR
The Saints placed Neal (hamstring) on injured reserve Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Neal's rookie season thus is over with the Saints not eligible for a postseason berth after he sustained a hamstring injury this past Sunday against the Panthers. In 10 appearances (three starts) on the campaign, he totaled 57 carries for 206 yards and two touchdowns, hauled in 17 of 19 passes for 104 yards and didn't fumble. With Alvin Kamara (knee/ankle) currently unable to practice and in danger of missing more time, New Orleans appears poised to roll with Audric Estime and Evan Hull at running back for the time being.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
In line for second straight start
Neal is likely to make a second consecutive start in Week 14 against the Buccaneers, as Alvin Kamara didn't practice Thursday due to knee and ankle injuries.
ANALYSIS
Neal has ascended to the top of the Saints' running back depth chart in Kamara's absence, and Kamara's on track to miss a second consecutive game considering the veteran running back has yet to resume practicing. In Neal's first NFL start, the rookie sixth-round pick turned 17 touches into 69 scrimmage yards.
