Giants wide receiver and kicking net lover Odell Beckham Jr. is active for Sunday’s game in London against the Rams. However, he is still dealing with a lingering hip injury that left his status in doubt earlier in the week and could have an impact on how much he plays.

While the other Giants receivers were running routes with quarterback Eli Manning prior to the game, Beckham was working with the training staff. He didn’t look comfortable according to Adam Schefter, and spent more time talking to the head coach and general manager.

The question now is just how much Beckham will play and how effective he’ll be against the Rams.

Beckham will also have to contend with a Rams defense known for taking some cheap shots and trying to bait players like Beckham. He’s said that he’s prepared for whatever they bring, and Rams head coach Jeff Fisher has said that they won’t bait him. But we’ll see.

He’s coming off a career game last week where he scored twice and racked up 222 receiving yards against the Ravens. His 581 receiving yards this season rank fifth in the NFL.
