Odell Beckham Jr. Reportedly Skips Day 1 of Giants OTAs

The New York Giants held their first organized team activity of the offseason Monday, but star wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. was reportedly not in attendance.

Dan Duggan of NJ.com first reported the news Monday, citing "a person familiar with the situation," and noted most of the team was there.

On Tuesday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN reported that Beckham worked out with his trainer in California the day prior and is "likely" to be in attendance Thursday.

While OTAs are not mandatory for any player and there are no bonuses in Beckham's contract related to participating in the offseason workouts, Duggan pointed out "it's no secret that coaches would prefer to have the entire team in attendance as the installation of the offensive and defensive playbook begins."

There wasn't a known reason the star receiver didn't attend Monday, and New York's first required offseason activity is a three-day minicamp starting June 13.

Beckham's absence will surely be forgotten during the regular season if he continues to perform on the field. He was a Pro Bowler in each of the first three seasons of his career and is coming off a 2016 campaign that saw him tally 1,367 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns.

He did miss a chance to develop on-field rapport with new wide receiver Brandon Marshall on Monday, however.
