Shepard couldn't even walk off the field when he hurt his ankle - he was carted off. Beckham jogged off and was walking around the sideline. Shepard is already back.
Unless Beckham was a high-ankle, which I don't believe I've read anywhere, I'd be quite surprised if he was still too sore to go in close to 3 weeks' time.

Pretty sure I saw the former Chargers team doc on twitter say it was a mild high ankle sprain. Regardless of diagnosis, hopefully they wait as long as they need to for him to be 100% even if it means missing a few weeks.
I fucking agree. Fuck this guy. He doesnt provide one shred of specific evidence of an injury which requires a recovery that is 3 weeks out. He throws a piece of shit against a wall, and hopes that because he binged on fried foods the night before, that it would stick till after week one.
He makes declaratives about Giants drafting tendencies and has been wrong about those.
He's a greeble with bad hair and I hope he still uses a typewriter to jerk off with.

he was on espn radio and started reading into mcadoo not being open with the media about it...
also when asked if beckham could miss the cowboys game, he said i wouldnt be surprised but that is just me guessing...100 percent he wrote this to get clicks
but I've been speculating (to myself) that OBJ may have a low grade high ankle sprain since Mac's press conference too. Just the way he wouldn't address questions about it, calling it an "ankle" and his tone about it. Trying to glean anything of value from his pressers is tough, but reading the tea leaves a bit, it made it sound to me like there was something more there than just garden variety low ankle sprain.
Bottom line, all things considered, even if he misses a week or two....it could have been a LOT worse.
I'm sure they aren't making it up that someone told them this Â
And it is factually correct he could miss. I think it's doubtful that he plays any further in preseason. So the question is, what's his status for Dallas?
Note that McAdoo is being intentionally vague with information. When asked a simple fact I'm sure he knows, if the injury is high ankle or low ankle, he replied it's an ankle.
But why should the fact be kept hidden unless the intent is to induce speculation and cause uncertainty?
is that whatever it is, it has to be serious enough that he's not really going to be practicing/playing for a few weeks. The point of obscuring it would be that it means Dallas has to prepare for playing the Giants with and without OBJ. However, that only works if he's not practicing until we get closer to Dallas. If he isn't, it's reasonable to say his status for Dallas isn't certain.

Reporting Eli would miss a month after hurting his shoulder in Week 1 of the 2007 season. Eli played in Week 2 and every game the rest of the season all the way to the Super Bowl!

begins with 'Could have' or 'may have' I immediately put it into the speculative BS trash can. It's not news at all, just a discussion about a potential possibility.

especially when he was just on the radio and said the exact same thing but said it was only his opinion
It's a shame Jordan had to put his name on that shitty ass Â

Of course it is possible that he'd miss the first week but it is weeks away. It's a division game. Unless there is something going on that has not been made public, I would be very surprised if OBJ missed the game.
It seems to me Ranaan's work has actually dropped off since he moved to ESPN. I am wary of reporting like this.
I wonder if Dallas fans are lamenting the possibility of facing the Giants while they are not at full strength...
in addition to a knee ankle injury. In watching the film over -- his head snapped into the turf -- in addition to the awkward angle his knee was hit at. His foot/ankle also made contact with the turf as he was being hit.
No one on the sidelines saw what happened to Shepard - but we all saw what happened to Beckham and it wasn't pretty
We'll be lucky if he only misses a few games because of it -- that was a very bad blow that he (and we) took there
The Giants are fukked if they lose Beckham - he is the premiere piece on Offense
Eli's pass wasn't so high, he might have had his knee blown out as his foot would have been solidly on the ground. Thankfully his foot grazed at the time of the hit and his leg slipped out from under him. We can thank out lucky stars because without OBJ in the lineup it would have been looking a hell of a lot worse on O.
I heard him on the radio and they asked about Odell and Jordan made it seem like something minor, however a little more concerning than Marshall. Then the guy on the radio asked if he thinks Odell will miss week 1 and Jordan said he didn't think so. Then the guy asks if its possible that Odell will miss week 1 and Jordan said..I guess anything is possible so I'd have to answer yes. He then said, full disclosure.....its not based on anything I have heard or seen, just an opinion.
Somehow this got blown up into Raanan saying Odell could miss a few weeks???

the reason he is getting killed is because he said that on the radio, then 4 hours later posted a link to an article saying "sources" are telling him beckham may not play week 1...
so how does it go from you have no sources and it is just your opinion, to saying the exact same thing and it is sourcez

The article says it came ftrom a source. Sounds like some contradiction. Maybe ESPN should get their stories straight.
Not exactly breaking news there.

What's next? He was invited to a team breakfast and got some access? Oh, wait.
how can you see tears from that far?
Bottom line, all things considered, even if he misses a week or two....it could have been a LOT worse.

Wake me when he actually has some concrete info.
Remember when the MD told Eli he was gonna miss 4 games?
OBJ was walking around the sideline without pain in the second half.
Keep him out the rest of the pre season so nothing worse happens. He'll play game 1.

I'm going to assume he'll play until I see Doubtful along his name the week before week 1.

Yup - basically ESPN gets to throw his name on a bunch of their hyped-up stories and he gets to play along.
Not journalism. Not even close
if he has a high ankle then the giants medical staff are idiots, there is zero chance he would be on the sideline with no boot on...
for a medical staff that is known to be more cautious than most teams i highly doubt they would do that
