Odell Beckham Jr: "Best I've felt yet. Going in the right direction." Said he has 6-8 week injury.
-------------------------------------------
So, does this mean he's out for another 2-3 weeks?

I think high ankle sprains are commonly 6-8 week things.

Monday will mark four weeks. He's getting to the zone of playing. The 6-8 week timeframe is for a full recovery.
how did laremy tunsil look last week?

i think if he was not close he wojld not have been on the practice field at all..
What's a 6-8 week injury to an ankle.
When I first saw the hit though, I was really worried about the knee. I could definitely see a seriously sprained (grade 3) MCL.
But all the attention has been on the ankle, but not sure what kind of injury to an ankle would take 6-8 weeks for normal healing? I suppose a grade 2 high ankle sprain.
My question is it possible for him to be at minimum close to FULLY recovered by Monday night?
you do know he practiced today right?

he will probably be around85 % doubt he is 100
That was a brutal hit by Boddy-Calhoun. No player would've been able to just take that hit without a significant injury.
Briean Boddy-Calhoun Helmet to the knee while OBJ is in mid air nice job ass hole !
Can't just lead with your shoulder wrap up and take him down
or stay on your feet and push him down no these knuckleheads
have to lead with the crown of there helmets it wasn't long
after that where he did the same thing I think one of the TE's that was a yard and a half from out of bounds he did the same exact thing helmet to the legs .
Because his player made a tackle?
Let's say they put him on a 'pitch count' so to speak.
I don't think OBJ wants to miss the home opener.
They didn't confirm it was a high sprain, and he wasn't in a walking boot, so everyone assumed it wasn't.
Agreed. With the way they looked Sunday night, not sure OBJ would have made much of a difference.
Let him get healthy.

How about a home sunday game before October next year too while we're at it? Owners/GMs get to have say in the schedule.... WTF were they thinking?

but next year could we maybe get a home game to start the season? Holy shit. 2012 was literally the last time we opened at home.

Giants tried to have some of their west coast games scheduled back-to-back to save on travel, but NFL rejected that. Instead we have:
10/15: @Den followed by a home game
11/12: @SF followed by a home game
12/3: @OAK followed by Cowboys
12/24: @AZ followed by home game vs Skins
Let him get healthy.
Exactly. I'm sorta in the camp - let's see how this team responds after Sunday night - and not use OBJ as a crutch.
Let's adjust, let's go!
OBJ on practice today: "I did routes, just trying to get back acclimated. Did a lot of mental reps in the end"-GM
OBJ: "I couldn't tell you a number (percentage about playing on Monday"-GM
OBJ on injury treatment: "It's boring. It's not fun. Nobody wants to do that...I'm itching to get back on the field"-GM
OBJ: "I was trying to get out there and play...there was that temptation (to play on Sunday")...you have to be smart, it's a long season"-GM
OBJ on playing vs DAL: "I dont know how realistic it was. As bad as I wanted to play, it just wasn't there"-GM
OBJ: "Right now, Im just trying to find a way to get through it." Mentioned he is undergoing massage and acupuncture treatment-GM
OBJ on Sunday: "We had a bad game...DAL lost first game last year and went (13-3). It's one game. I'm not panicking"-GM
OBJ: "It's literally one game...we lost the game, we move on...everybody has to step up"-GM
OBJ: "There's 15 other games. Tom Brady lost to the Chiefs. I'm sure he's not freaking out"-GM
OBJ: "I dont think the people in the training room like me anymore...it's really not fun"-GM

Exactly. Giants lost one maybe two players of note in camp and probably only lost Beckham for 3-4 games tops and everyone is crying poor Giants luck. Give me a break.
This offense needs some fucking balls. Enough already.
And you know this how?
Giants' Odell Beckham Jr. shows promise at practice - ( New Window )
I saw the same thing w/Schwartz with the Post.
Apparently they have a 'protect the duke drill'...
all I could think of was... how about a protect the
QB drill, that would help too.
And most importantly he is improving and we play on Monday.
I like his quotes on the Dallas outcome and long season.

True. But the Giants were also not forthright about the diagnosis. They never said it was a high ankle sprain, which it obviously is
Sounds a lot like something the stupid Mets medical training staff would be overseeing.
Sit him until Week 4.
It's one thing in baseball or hockey where you can say "lets give him an extra couple weeks' but you really don't have that luxury in the NFL.

It's just too short of a season to save players. If he can play, he's got to play.

The rub here is that Beckham has that luxury and I'm sure he doesn't want to risk getting nuked while he pursues a big payday.
First, how effective can he even be? We didn't lose in Dallas because of Roger Lewis.
Second, what if it threatens the rest of the season for him?
Next man up.
He's our best offensive player by 10 miles.
Anyone can get hurt on any given play in this sport. If he's healthy enough to play, he should play. If he's not, he's not.
The idea that the Giants should just save him for later is ridiculous. If we start 0-3 or even 0-4 it's too late.
Well the offense is NOT functional or well coached. OBJs play has been the deodorant that has been covering up this stink for the past couple of years.
WITH OBJ over the last 7-8 games of last year the Gints were either at or near the bottom of the league in scoring. Without OBJ, the Giants no doubt have the worst offense in the league.
Just think about that for a minute, if we are at the bottom of the league in scoring by simply removing one player who is not your QB, then things are really fucked up.
All I can say is thank God for the field goal kickers.
Sorry hitdog42, but saying ESPN was right is far too generous. Their story was so vague and conditional that any outcome would have been right, ie OBJ could have played this week and they would have been right.
I have no particular beef with ESPN or Ranaan, but like many, I am particularly annoyed by the teasing style of reporting the story was told in.
What I want to read in my news are facts and conclusions. If there is a potential outcome, then back it up with real facts. This was lacking in ESPN's story. One is better served to just ignore stories like that.
