McNeill (knee) was placed on the active/PUP list Thursday.
Scouting Report
Owns a very strong base and low center of gravity, which is ideal for clogging up running lanes. He has a quick swim move and can slip into gaps to penetrate the pocket. He can be effective in tight quarters against the run, allowing teammates to fill gaps and make tackles, but has to hold his ground and shed blocks more consistently in order to thrive.
Long Range Potential: Rotational interior defensive lineman.
