Anyone know the practice schedule for this week?

I would imagine we have to get started today even though on a normal week we don't get started until Wednesday. The NFL values player safety. Gotta love the consistency.

Anxiously waiting to see if LaCanfora's report is accurate and ODB is back this week.
I think it's quite possible that Beckham

could start practicing, but playing this week after 2 practices would be kind of silly. Stranger things have happened I guess. If he returns, I see possible punt return duty.
Punt return alone could be a huge bonus

has been awful at the KR spot. I haven't seen anything that sets him apart from what we've had in the past. Yes - he has great straight-line speed, but seems to just run into the back of our guys and doesn't seem to look for the hole or have anything special when it comes to making people miss on kickoff returns. Just a few games, mind you. But I think giving Beckham this chance once healthy is a must.
If he practices this week

I could see us putting him in there on returns and maybe some plays on offense to maybe stretch the D a little and give them a new look. Nothing close to full or even half the plays.
with our punt/kick return blocking

it doesn't matter who's back returning the kicks.

Either way, if he's healthy, you figure they'd be able to work him into 5-10 plays at a minimum. Just use him as a decoy on a reverse or get him the ball on a quick screen or something. Simple plays to get his feet wet.
I'd guess that by around 6 or 7

we should know if Beckham practiced today.
Walk-through later today for both NYG and the Indigenous Peoples .

I think they practice for real tomorrow. There's time to put in a few plays for Beckham if they want to. Not sure it's worth the investment of on-field time, though.
With all the problems he's had you think they'll let him return punts

I doubt it.

Agree here. We are not letting our #1 pick just off a leg injury return kicks after no contact football since when. That would be real dumb.
