Giants linebacker Jon Beason should know today what his plans for the season are, but admitted yesterday that shutting himself down for the season was an option because of a problematic toe injury.
“Right now I’d say it’s 50-50 if the smart thing is to get it fixed and get ready for next season,” Beason said on WFAN, via Ebenezer Samuel of the New York Daily News.
Beason said he was “frustrated” with his condition, but pointed out he wasn’t medically whole.
“I’m playing without a crucial ligament in my big toe,” he said.
Surgery could fix that, but would knock him out for the year. He opted to not have surgery to get ready for the opener, but wasn’t able to finish the next game. He missed the next three games, but came back against the Eagles before aggravating it last week against the Cowboys.
