This is what Frank said about it. I don't think Neal will be 100 percent yet, but it sounds like they just want to get him some reps to get him ready for the last few games:
“Neal should be able to play some. He’s practicing this week. Just how many snaps and how that will all go remains to be seen, but we’d like to get him on the field; we’d like to get him some snaps.”
“He was certainly with the top defensive performers on the line in the MAC with how he was performing early in the year. We thought that he was just going to have a great season. He’s definitely an All-MAC kind of player and so losing him hurt. Losing Carl at the same time hurt. We got Carl back a few weeks ago. He’s kind of rounding himself into more and more playing shape. Neal, it’s going to take a little time to get him in playing shape.”
