We'll wait and see what the severity and type of recovery that will be required for Beckham's injury is, but it doesn't sound very good so far. But it seems like every promising young wide receiver that the Giants have had though the Eli era has seem to have had some injury either slow down or cut short their path towards a potentially great career. Nicks, Smith, Manningham, Cruz, now maybe Beckham (knock on wood). It's crazy, and has to be absolutely frustrating for Eli.
I've never seen a team that had the top three receivers injured at the same time like this before. I thought Vernon being out with an injury was bad enough.
this formula stinks...
For fuck sake. Ankle support? What like something other than taping up?
You don't rely on cleats for ankle support.
I can't anymore.

someone needs to take a serious look at the shoes the receivers were wearing - odd coincidence that all injuries were ankle/foot related. On a wet field, I'd question whether they had appropriate sized spikes and shoes with proper ankle support.

Can you rely on cleats for cankle support?
I'm... asking for a friend.

Some cleats are low cut below the ankles, and some come higher and cover them for added support - I'd be amazed if you really were completely unaware of this.
From an economic perspective Eli is by far the most expensive player in the NFL. His salary is huge and his play costs the team millions in injury and losses.
And ironically, he never gets hurt, so the expense is never-ending.

The high cleats don't do shit. Stop it.

Pretty clear you've never played a sport - not sure why you're still commenting on this.
