The Facts: Beckham is expected to report for New York Giants mandatory minicamp but isn't planning on taking team reps. NFL Network's Kimberly Jones reported that Big Blue and the dynamic receiver are on the same page on OBJ not getting team reps this week. The Giants don't feel the need to rush their top playmaker back on to the field. Jones added that Beckham's doctors and the New York medical staff have been in concert on the plan since the injury.
Diehards Line:
Beckham broke his ankle in early October. The fifth-year pro didn't attend recent organized team activities after reporting to voluntary minicamp in April and working out at a portion of OTAs last month. The continued plan to take it slow with Beckham comes after coach Pat Shurmur told reporters in recent weeks that Beckham "pretty close" to being fully cleared and "possibly" could be ready for minicamp. Despite that optimism, Beckham's status quo will remain in place this week. Ensuring there is no setback ahead of training camp -- when the pads finally come on -- remains the priority. We'll see if Beckham's contract becomes an overriding issue at some point. But it doesn't appear we're there yet.
