Odell Beckham Jr: Ouch
Uh-oh is right, Ralph:
Uh oh. Reports from training camp suggest Odell Beckham may have re-tweaked his hamstring at practice today. Stay tuned for more.

How, Why, When… Again? Really?
@OBJ_3 caught underneath crosser during 7-on-7 drills and flashed good burst, but seemed to hop a bit at end. Stretching out right now #NYG

An idea, huh?
For now, it’s safe to assume that in Giants Nation, that idea is simply: stay healthy.
On Twitter right now, you can hear the early cries of bust, and things of that nature. However, this is an actual alarming situation for the Giants. Remember, this is a team that just got blanked for three quarters by the Colts.

In an offense lacking playmakers and in need of weapons as they develop this new West Coast Offense scheme, the continued loss of their number one draft pick to practice time could spell disaster for the rookies first season. Now, that’s not saying that OBJ won’t or can’t get healthy in time. It’s just saying that he needs to do so yesterday to improve the organization’s chances of even being a competitive football team in 2014, much less elite.
For Odell Beckham Jr., he’s gotta to get healthy and he’s gotta do it ASAP. Unfortunately, what he needs to do and what he’s actually doing are two very different things. September 8th is sneaking up awful fast for Monday Night Football.
What do you think, Giants Nation, will Odell Beckham Jr. be ready?
