Steelers S Keanu Neal (ribs) did not participate in practice Wednesday.

Former Cowboys S/LB Keanu Neal is signing a deal with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Fantasy Impact

Neal was a really nice addition for the Cowboys last season, and he should prove to be a quality starter in Tampa too. He mostly played at the linebacker position in Dallas, but it is projected that he will move back to safety for the Buccaneers. The veteran should provide versatility and grit that will be a boost for Tampa Bay's defense.

Keanu Neal will miss the rest of the season after suffering a torn Achilles in Sunday’s loss to the Colts, Vaughn McClure reports.

Fantasy Impact

Neal left the game early with a suspected tear, and tests on Monday confirmed the worst. He’ll have surgery this week and should be ready to go for the 2020 season. It’s a big blow for the Falcons who lost Neal for 15 games last season when he suffered a season-ending knee injury in Week 1.
