Giants linebacker Jon Beason was examined yesterday by Foot and Ankle Specialist Dr. Robert Anderson in Charlotte. After the exam and a review of Beasons MRI, X-Rays and CT scan, it was determined that Beasons injury -- a ligament tear and a small fracture to the sesamoid in his right foot does not require surgery. Beasons foot will be immobilized for six weeks (three weeks in a cast and three in a walking boot) as the first step in his rehabilitation.
Jon Beason commented on these results: My visit with Dr. Anderson went as well as it could have yesterday. Im happy that it was determined that I will be able to recover without surgery. My plan is to work as hard as I can during my rehab so I can be fully recovered around the start of the regular season opener on Monday night in Detroit.

Day 1 ends with Antrel Rolle interception of Eli Manning in 2-minute drill. Throw looked a little high, off Jerrel Jernigan's hands. #nyg
If he can't line up for mini camp, what makes us think he's going to be ready for training camp? It just seems to be the same thing with him.............
Good to read Eli adjusting well to the new offense. You know he's been studying and it's starting to pay off.

That last 1 is largely dependent on at least an average pass rush.
This Snee situation is going to end up a mess, if it's not
Unless Beatty gets healthy himself and bounces back, both RG and LT are going to be massive problems for this team (along with their starting LG being a better RG and their likely probable C being a mixed bag even when not considering how he hasn't played in years now).

More hysteria on the OL. If Snee can't go them Mosley will. Don't see the issue. Mosley may beat out Snee straight up much less if Snee isn't healthy. And Jerry will be in the mix at by traning cmp as well. Beatty is an issue but they have guys at RG.

Chris Snee: "No need to rush back. My lower body feels great. I'm sure you guys were watching me run out there. I'm moving pretty well" #NYG
My point the entire offseason once they signed Snee to a 1 year contract was that if healthy he was young enough to still perform at a high level, if, a big if, he truly wasn't in decline talent-wise. That it was all about health..
His Elbow issue iirc, has been ongoing for a few years. I have little hope that he'll heal enough to perform as he did during 2011 and before..
Jon Beason commented on these results: My visit with Dr. Anderson went as well as it could have yesterday. Im happy that it was determined that I will be able to recover without surgery.

if you are given number 63 as a linebacker the chances of making the team are zero point zero
Ray Nitschke wore #66.
Nitschke retired after the 1972 season. The NFL position numbering scheme started in 1973.
