There is a very good probability Eli Manning and Odell Beckham Jr. will head into the regular season without having been on the field together in a game setting this summer. Friday night, in fact, many be one of the last opportunities for that to take place, and Pat Shurmur gave the “we’ll see” and “we’re going to be smart” answers about Beckham’s participation in the preseason meeting with the Jets that have come to be recognized as a fairly firm “no.”
That’s a strange dynamic for one of the most important on-field relationships the Giants will have this season.
