Odell Beckham Jr. has been around track and field his whole life, so he’s not foreign to lower body injuries. The rookie wide receiver missed Thursday’s OTA with a sore hamstring —  the severity is unclear and prognoses are conflicting. Either way, injury is a scary notion.

How Beckham described his current physical condition:

"“if we were at practice tomorrow, I’d probably practice tomorrow.”“Just sore, my hamstring is just tight. It was a little sore on Tuesday, but two days after that I’m feeling pretty good. It was toward the end practice and it just started tightening up so I got off it.”"

Coach Coughlin shared a different outlook, expressing concern that Beckham might need to be held out of the remaining OTA sessions on June 9-10 and June 12-13. Mandatory minicamp begins on June 17th.


A versatile and refined route runner, the Giants are expecting immediate contributions from OBJ. This is particularly true if the Giants’ negative tone surrounding all things Rueben Randle this offseason wasn’t simply a smokescreen.

Giants Nation, I don’t think we need more analysis today, he might be back on the field Monday. Let’s not turn the post into a panic.

    Regardless, it’s important to note that your first round pick did sustain an injury that has a history to linger in athletes known for their speed. That said, as a Giants community let’s all wish @OBJ_3 a recovery as speedy as his own intense gridiron gifts. Get well soon Odell Beckham Jr!
