Giants’ Beckham, Marshall seem OK

The New York Giants apparently can breathe a little easier.

Leading receivers Odell Beckham Jr. and Brandon Marshall seemingly avoided major injuries in a preseason game.

Head coach Ben McAdoo said Tuesday that the team’s wideouts are being listed as day to day after being hurt in the first half of Monday night’s loss to the Browns. McAdoo did not rule out playing them in either of the final two preseason games.

One of the NFL’s most dynamic receivers, Beckham underwent an MRI exam Tuesday. It revealed the three-time Pro Bowler had a sprained left ankle.

Beckham was hurt after being hit near the knee by defensive back Briean BoddyCalhoun after catching a pass. The impact flipped Beckham onto his side, and his head bounced off the turf.

X-rays on Marshall’s shoulder were also negative, and the team would also see how he responds to treatment, McAdoo said. It was not clear how Marshall was injured.
