While he is still recovering from an ankle injury suffered during Week 2 of the preseason, New York Giants star Odell Beckham Jr. might not miss any time in the regular season.

Giants head coach Ben McAdoo told reporters he is "hopeful" the receiver will play in Week 1. He also noted Beckham has shown "improvement" since the injury.

Jordan Raanan and Dan Graziano of ESPN.com reported last week that the injury could force Beckham to miss the first game or two of the season.

Beckham was taken out on a low hit by Cleveland Browns cornerbackBriean Boddy-Calhoun and was forced to leave the game, also effectively ending his preseason.
