Playing Odell Beckham Jr. in preseason games could be risky

Pat Shurmur says Odell Beckham Jr. has done everything the Giants have asked of him this training camp. This week, we’ll see if that will include appearing in a preseason game.

The Giants open their schedule of four exhibitions Thursday at home against the Browns. That’s the same Browns team they faced last summer when Beckham first injured his ankle on a low hit from cornerback Briean Boddy-Calhoun. Beckham returned from that injury for the regular season but missed the opener. Some believe it weakened the joint and exacerbated the season-ending injury he suffered in Week 5.

Boddy-Calhoun is on the Browns’ roster this summer, too.
