Injury report roundup: J.J. Watt questionable

Giants wideout Odell Beckham Jr. will miss another day of practice with a hamstring issue.

Not much has changed since Thursday, although Giants head coach Tom Coughlin is keeping the possibility of Beckham playing against the Eagles on Monday alive. On Saturday, Beckham was listed as questionable on the Giants' injury report.

The team will switch up their practice schedule this week and go through a full practice on Sunday, which gives him one more opportunity to work out this week before game day.

Rueben Randle will practice for a second straight day, which provides Eli Manning and offensive coordinator Ben McAdoo with at least some peace of mind. If Beckham cannot go, Dwayne Harris would likely elevate to the No. 2 role.

"He's coming along," Coughlin said, via The Bergen Record.

With Victor Cruz's calf injury continuing to linger, the team will also keep the possibility of a receiver signing open. Hakeem Nicks and Wes Welker worked out with the club two weeks ago.
