After suffering a knee injury during the offseason, Beason still believes that he will be able to get healthy in time for the season opener.
However, he doesn’t plan on taking the conditioning test with his teammates on Monday because he says he is not 100 ready to go at full speed during workouts.
From Tom Rock of Newsday:
“We’re hitting all those benchmarks in terms of the prognosis. It’s getting better and better every day,” Beason said. “I feel fine right now. But then again I know that I’m not ready to go full speed and change direction and tackle people.”
The Giants would certainly be hurting at depth in the middle of their linebacking corp, so they will be hoping that he will be able to rejoin the team on the field sooner rather than later.
