Odell Beckham Jr. may not be well enough to practice, but he still has some moves.
As the Giants closed down minicamp and broke until training camp, the second-year wide receiver ducked away from reporters without taking questions Thursday.
According to Ebenezer Samuel of the New York Daily News, Beckham was scheduled to talk to reporters to update his condition. He’s been held out of minicamp because of a hamstring problem, and didn’t take part in most of the team’s optional offseason workouts.
Beckham battled hamstring problems early last year, before a breakout rookie season. But with his lack of availability (to the press or the team on the field) it’s reasonable to wonder if the injury is more serious than advertised.
“He feels better,” Giants coach Tom Coughlin said. “But he needs to feel a whole lot better.”
They still think he’s going to be ready to practice by training camp. But until he talks about it, we’ll all just have to guess.
