NEW YORK GIANTS INJURY REPORT…
WR Odell Beckham (hamstring), WR Victor Cruz (calf), LB Jon Beason (knee), LB Uani ‘Unga (neck), and CB Prince Amukamara (pectoral) did not practice on Thursday.

Head Coach Tom Coughlin indicated that Beckham is likely not to practice on Wednesdays and Thursdays but continue to attempt to play on game day. “This is where we are right now,” said Coughlin. “It may be that way for a while, I hope not. Obviously, you practice, you get better…He plays the whole game and then they deal with whatever he comes out of the game with and get him ready for the next one.”

“We’re going to be all right,” said Beckham. “The game plan is for Sunday. It’s about knowing what you need to do to get ready for Sunday.”

Cruz had an MRI on his injured calf but is still not cleared to practice. “He’s not cleared to go.,” said Coughlin. “He’s with the trainers…He gets an MRI every week…We all were (hoping he would be cleared). He still has a little bit of an injury there.”

Both middle linebackers missed practice, including Beason who was a new addition to the injury report with a knee issue. Amukamara has already been ruled out of Sunday’s game against the Dallas Cowboys.

WR Rueben Randle (hamstring), DE Robert Ayers (hamstring), LB Devon Kennard (hamstring), LB Jonathan Casillas (neck), CB Trumaine McBride (groin), and CB Trevin Wade (concussion) practiced on a limited basis.

OT Will Beatty (pectoral) returned to practice on a limited basis on Tuesday, but remains on the Reserve/Physically-Unable-to-Perform (PUP) List. Since he has now returned to the practice field, the Giants can keep him on that list for only three more weeks.

WHAT’S UP NEXT…
Instead of practicing, the Giants will hold a “recovery day” on Friday. The players will select two of six recovery stations, based on seniority. Their choices are massage, yoga, FMS (Functional Movement Screen) exercises designed for the individual, air compression boots, contrast bath (between a hot and cold tub), and self-massage with stick rollers and elastic bands.

The Giants will also have a 45-minute, up-tempo “walk-thru” practice on Saturday that is not open to the media. The Giants play the Dallas Cowboys at home on Sunday.
