New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. was surprisingly scratched from Sunday's game against the Washington Redskins because of a bruised quad, the team announced Saturday.
Beckham was downgraded on Saturday, and he did not travel with the team.
The injury was disclosed on Friday when Beckham was a limited participant in practice. But the Giants didn't believe it was serious at the time and didn't even give him an official injury designation for the game.
Coach Pat Shurmur said he believed Beckham would play.
"We just gave him a little time," Shurmur said after Friday's practice.
