Raanan passed along comments from Giants coach Tom Coughlin on Beckham's status:"The trainers seem to think he's made good progress. He wouldn't practice [Wednesday if there was one], no. Hopefully we'll get some work in before the end of the week. ... All we can do is hold out with the fact that he is a very competitive young man and if it's at all possible, he'll be ready to play."Beckham has dealt with the injury bug for much of his young NFL career, missing the first four games of his rookie season with nagging hamstring issues, the same injury that slowed him down during OTAs in 2015.Some speculated Beckham tweaked his hamstring while celebrating a touchdown against the 49ers, but he said it happened five to six plays before then, per the New York Post's Bart Hubbuch.In his 12 games last season, Beckham took the league by storm, recording 91 receptions for 1,305 yards. He would regularly make highlight-reel plays thanks to his brilliant catching ability, whether it be one- or two-handed.It seems the Giants cannot get Beckham and previous No. 1 receiver Victor Cruz on the field at the same time. Right as Beckham was getting ready to come back, Cruz missed the rest of the season with a torn patellar tendon.Beckham's potential absence would give an advanced role to Rueben Randleprovided his own hamstring injury permits him to play Monday. Randle is coming on after a slow start to the year, hoping to build on a career-best 2014 campaign in which he recorded 71 receptions for 938 yards.Stats courtesy of Pro-Football-Reference.com.
