Odell Beckham Jr took the field for warmups roughly two hours before the New York Giants were set to take on the Detroit Lions Monday night, and the star wide receiver felt good enough to declare himself ready for his season debut.
Beckham, who has been battling a sprained ankle, told reporters he is ready to roll.
Odell stopped, I asked if he's playing: "You know what time it is!" #nyg

Reports throughout the week indicated Beckham was trending in the right direction, though some comments he made recently made it seem like he could miss multiple games.
The Giants looked completely lost on offense without Beckham in Week 1. They managed just three points against the Dallas Cowboys, and Eli Manning completed 29-of-38 passes for 220 yards, no touchdowns and an interception. It goes without saying that they will be thrilled to have OBJ back.
