New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. participated actively in Monday's practice, drawing a penalty and making plays downfield. The veteran also performed pushups in front of the media after appearing to look the wrong way on a route.
Beckham's presence in practice was marked by several notable moments. He drew a pass interference penalty on rookie cornerback Colton Hood in the end zone. Hood was animated with the officiating call, but coach John Harbaugh upheld the penalty, stating Hood interfered with Beckham while the ball was in the air. Harbaugh emphasized the need to accelerate the learning process for young players like Hood.
Later in practice, quarterbacks Jaxson Dart and Jameis Winston each threw interceptions on consecutive plays to conclude the session. One interception was a pass deflected at the line of scrimmage by Kayvon Thibodeaux, which Abdul Carter returned for a touchdown. Ar’Darius Washington intercepted Winston's pass.
In other team news, wide receiver Jalin Hyatt and defensive lineman Josh Tupou did not practice due to injuries. Several players returned to team drills, including centers John Michael Schmitz and Lucas Patrick, and cornerbacks Greg Newsome II, Dru Phillips, and Paulson Adebo. Running back Dante Miller was waived with an injury designation.
