Beckham Continues to Experience Hamstring Issues

Beckham has dealt with the injury bug for much of his young NFL career, missing the first four games of his rookie season with nagging hamstring issues, the same injury that slowed him down during OTAs in 2015.

Some speculated Beckham tweaked his hamstring while celebrating a touchdown against the 49ers, but he said it happened five to six plays before then, per the New York Post's Bart Hubbuch.

In his 12 games last season, Beckham took the league by storm, recording 91 receptions for 1,305 yards. He regularly made highlight-reel catches, whether they were one- or two-handed, thanks to his incredible athletic ability.

It seems the Giants cannot get Beckham and previous No. 1 receiver Victor Cruz on the field at the same time. Cruz missed the last 10 weeks of the 2014 season with a torn patellar tendon, and he has yet to play this season as he recovers from a calf injury suffered in the preseason.
