Odell Beckham Jr. has been cleared to play football.
Eight months after fracturing his ankle in a Week 5 game against the Chargers, the wide receiver had a physical at the start of this week’s mandatory minicamp and was declared good to go. No more limitations, no more working on the side with trainers.
But what should have been a joyous occasion for the Giants was instead tempered by a self-imposed limitation on Beckham’s participation. He took part in individual drills during Tuesday’s first workout of the three-day event, but when it came to drills when the offense faced the defense, Beckham stood off to the side.
