Washington Redskins

[edit | edit source]

Neild was selected 253rd overall in the seventh round of the 2011 NFL draft by the Washington Redskins.[4] He was converted from a defensive tackle to a nose tackle. Neild made his NFL debut in Week 1 against the New York Giants, where he recorded 1.5 sacks on Eli Manning. In the 2011 season, Neild played in all 16 games as the backup nose tackle for Barry Cofield.[5]

In 2012, Neild was expected to compete for a roster spot with Chris Baker.[6] His second season was cut short after tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee during practice on August 13, 2012.[7] The Redskins waived-injured him two days later.[8] After not being claimed off waivers, Neild was officially placed on the team's injured reserve list.[9]

During the 2013 season, Neild returned to being the back-up nose tackle and played a total of eight games.

In the last 2014 preseason game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Neild suffered an injury in his right leg and was carted off the field.[10] On August 30, 2014, it was confirmed that he tore his right ACL and was placed on the team's injured reserve.[11]
