Pat Shurmur did not have Odell Beckham Jr. play in last week’s preseason opener against the Browns. It sounds as if he may ask the wide receiver to take part in this week’s joint practices against the Lions.
“I don’t think it has to be [as risky as a preseason game],” the Giants coach said of the upcoming workouts.
The Giants will practice three times against the Lions — on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday — and Shurmur said he has enough trust in Lions head coach Matt Patricia to establish a safe tempo from his team and prevent dangerous situations from cropping up.
