Giants’ Beckham to miss 2nd straight game

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. >> The New York Giants will need to keep their faint playoff hopes alive without Odell Beckham Jr. for the second straight week.

Coach Pat Shurmur said Friday the NFL’s highest-paid receiver will be sidelined again with a quad injury when the Giants (5-8) play the Tennessee Titans (7-6) Sunday at MetLife Stadium.

Shurmur said Beckham’s status will remain day to day. He practiced on a limited basis Wednesday and missed the last two days.

“No setback. He can’t go,” Shurmur said of Beckham, who is second on the team with 77 catches for a team-high 1,052 yards and six touchdowns.
