Jon Beason injures knee, no timetable for return of Giants' linebacker

Middle linebacker one of three Giants injured Saturday.

There is no timetable for the return of middle linebacker Jon Beason, who suffered a sprained knee Saturday during the New York Giants 22-12 preseason victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Beason was one of three Giants who suffered long-term injuries Saturday,. Safeties Bennett Jackson (torn ACL) and Justin Currie (fractured ankle) are lost for the season.

Giants head coach Tom Coughlin said Beason's injury was a "tough one" in terms of figuring out how long the veteran linebacker would be sidelined.
