00:00The, yeah, Giants also had some bad news here today as they were hoping to have some depth
00:06at that wide receiver position.
00:08Calvin Austin III ends up getting carted off the New York Giants practice, and they're
00:14saying significant right knee injury while running a route during one of the one-on-one
00:20drills there.
00:22One year, one and a half million.
00:23He was obviously going to be somebody that was playing his way out of the team.
00:28That was, he spent, what, four years in Pittsburgh prior to this before joining the Giants.
00:35And, you know, one of these slot guys that you can absolutely count on.
00:39He's been around for a while.
00:41So my question is now, does Odell Beckham Jr. move up the slot here?
00:47Is Odell Beckham Jr. making this team, Tom Beckhill?
00:51I think he has to at this point because there were a lot of reports suggesting that OBJ
00:57was a cut candidate because they just weren't going to keep him around.
01:02And I thought that was a pretty fair evaluation.
01:04Like, okay, you bring him in.
01:06It's this nice reunion.
01:07He obviously hasn't been, you know, effective over the last few years, hasn't played a whole
01:11lot over the last few years.
01:12But now, just based on the depth of the position overall, I think they have to keep him around.
01:16And, you know, the reports that Neighbors is expected to play in week one, but he's obviously
01:23not 100%.
01:23And frankly, he may take some time, like, getting his legs under him and actually getting into
01:28game shape.
01:28Because, see, there's a 0% chance that Malik Neighbors plays in the third preseason game.
01:32They're just going to need the wide receiver depth overall.
01:36They are.
01:37And, I mean, I still don't know what's – is Neighbors going to be ready?
01:42Malachi Fields, is he going to be – what's going on with him?
01:46Is Darius Slayton still on the team, too?
01:48I mean, they've got often injured wide receivers there.
01:53I know Braxton Barrios they brought in.
01:55Darnell Mooney is another guy.
01:58And, yeah, everyone I – all the charts that I saw had Austin making it here.
02:03So, it would be the story of all stories to see Beckham actually make the team.
02:10That would be something else because, you know, there'd be a lot of Giant fans, Tom,
02:14looking to get out there in week one wearing the old Odell Beckham jersey instead of burning
02:19it when they should have, when they had the chance.
02:21They'll actually get to wear it during a season game here.
