Lions-Giants injury report: Odell Beckham Jr. limited in practice

For the first time since the regular season started, Odell Beckham Jr. practiced for the New York Giants. According to the team’s official injury report, Beckham was limited in practice, but this was still a big step for him after injuring his ankle during the Giants’ second preseason game.

However, Beckham spoke with the media on Thursday and let loose an interesting bit of information:

Beckham injured his ankle in a game on August 21 against the Cleveland Browns. That means it has only been three and a half weeks since the injury and it will be exactly four on Monday night, when they face the Detroit Lions.

Beckham later clarified his comments with Taylor Rooks of SportsNet New York:

So if Beckham plays on Monday, it will be at the very minimum of the original timetable given to him.

On the Detroit Lions side of the injury report, all 53 players were in attendance and practicing during the media portion. However, Golden Tate was limited, even though he insisted his finger is not broken and was not wearing a splint in the locker room.

Additionally, Ezekiel Ansah remains on the injury report, limited by the knee injury that had him on the PUP list all preseason.
