Odell Beckham Jr. is not playing in the New York Giants’ season-opening game at Dallas, as expected.
Beckham hurt his ankle in a preseason game against the Browns and has been rehabbing since. He’s about three weeks into his rehab for an injury that typically takes 4-6 weeks to heal.
The wide receiver was termed questionable for the game and even tried to give it a go in warmups. He looked pretty good:

In the end, the Giants decided to make Beckham inactive for Week 1. NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport thinks Beckham should be able to play in Week 2 against Detroit.

The Giants still have some quality receiving options even without Beckham. They added Brandon Marshall in the offseason and also have Sterling Shepard.
