The watch continues.
On the final Giants’ injury report before Monday’s home opener ꦗagainst the Lions, Odell Beckham Jr. was listed as questionable with the sprained ankle that has sidelined him since the second week of the preseason.
The wide receiver was a limited participant in practice Thursday and Friday and was limited again for Saturd🤪ay𝓀’s walkthrough.
“We’ll see how it goes,” coach Ben McAdoo said. “We’ll get in ther꧋e, do a litꦇtle bit of work this morning. [Sunday] we’ll go in and have our launch day, take a look at him and see how it goes.
“It’s a medical decision. We’re just seeing his level of confidence and where he is꧅ sti𒐪cking his foot in the ground.”
Beckham also was li🎃sted as questionable for Week 1 against the Cowboys, tested the ankle before the game then was declared inactive. McAdoo said they will watch and listen to Beckham before making a final decision again. He declined to say if Beckham would play even if he wasn’t 100 percent.
“The biggest thing is we don’t want to put a player out there that’s going to do any harm to himself or injure himself any more than he is,” McAdoo said.🦩 “It’s a touꦑgh injury. He’s fighting through it, he’s doing everything he can to get back.But we’re going to be smart with him.”
There were two new additions to the injury report Saturday — starting linebacker B.J. Goodson and backup guard D.J. Fluker were listed as questionable with shin injuries that arose late in Friday’s practice. Goodson’s injury got sore as practice wore o🌼n, so he was pulled out late.
“It’s somethiꦜng that’s been bothering him the last couple days,” McAdoo said.
Right tackle Bobby Hart (ankle), who did not participate🌟 in Thursday’s practice and was limited in Friday’s practice, was not listed on the injury report. McAdoo said he was improving, but was non-committal when asked if he expected Hart to pl♑ay.
“Bobby got through practice [Friday],” McAdoo said. “He did fine out🐟 there yesterday. We’ll take a look and see how he does tomorrow.”
Cornerback Janoris Jenkins was listed as limited with an ankle and hand injury. Li🉐nebacker Keenan Robinson officially was declared out for Monday’s game with a concussion.
