Odell Beckham Jr. plays but is hardly a factor in Giants’ loss to Lions

Uh oh.

Odell Beckham was back, and the Giants offense still was awful.

Beckham, the Giants’ star receiver, made his season debut Monday night after missing the opening loss with a high ankle sprain of his left foot. Though Beckham did seem to give a team a lift when he ran on the field at the start of the game, it was quickly evident that he wasn’t 100 percent in what ended up being an ugly 24-10 loss.

Beckham played only 33 of the team’s 55 offensive snaps and a lot of those came in the fourth quarter, when the Giants desperately were trying to make a game of it.
