Get ready for Unai’ Unga after Giants rule out Jon Beason
Giants linebacker Jon Beason (left) isn't ready for Week 1 due to a sprained knee.Middle linebacker Jon Beason and wide receiver Victor Cruz were ruled out for the Giants’ season opener at archrival Dallas.
Beason missed the final two preseason games after spraining his knee. He returned to practice Wednesday and expressed confidence Thursday he could suit up against the Cowboys. It looks like that plan was overly ambitious. Coach Tom Couighlin said Beason’s knee had not made significant improvement.
Beason’s absence leaves the Giants in a bind. They could start Uani’ Unga, but he’s never played in an NFL game and faces a lot of responsibility in making the defensive calls.
