EAST RUTHERFORD Brian Burns Jersey , N.J. (AP) — Star receiver Odell Beckham Jr. isn’t looking to shut down his season because the New York Giants are eliminated from playoff contention.He doesn’t want to risk further injury to a quad that caused him to sit out the last two games, either.The NFL’s highest-paid receiver did not practice on either Wednesday or Thursday, which seems to indicate he will not play Sunday when the Giants (5-9) face the Colts (8-6) in Indianapolis.The 26-year-old said his leg is feeling better and he believes his status is day to day. He added he did not think much of the injury after it happened on the final play against Philadelphia on Nov. 25, and it might have been a little more serious than he thought.Surprisingly, Beckham played the following week against the Bears and threw and caught a touchdown pass in the Giants’ 30-27 win in overtime.He missed games at Washington and at home against Tennessee the past two weeks.“I am just trying to find my way back,” said Beckham, who has 77 receptions for a team-high 1,052 yards and six touchdowns. “We only get 16 opportunities to play games, missing them is not fun. I feel like I missed enough games already http://www.panthersauthorizedshops.com/authentic-greg-little-jersey , so I am just trying to get back as fast as possible.”Many observers feel the Giants should not risk further injury to their most explosive receiver with the playoffs out of reach for a second straight year. Beckham didn’t like that train of thought.“If I can play I am going to play,” Beckham said. “That’s just the bottom line. You dreamed of being here. You dedicated and did everything to be here, so you do all this to play games. As much fun as the meetings are and all the other stuff, you do this to play games. If I can play, I am in there headfirst.”Beckham missed most of last season after breaking his left ankle in the fifth game. He worked extremely hard in the offseason and was ready for the start of 2018.If Beckham cannot play this weekend, his last opportunity would come in the regular-season finale against the Dallas Cowboys (8-6), who lead the NFC East but have yet to lock up a postseason berth.“That’s the goal. I want to be able to finish the season as much as possible,” Beckham said. “But you have to listen to your body, your body is going to tell you what you need to do. I feel like times in the past I have not listened to it and other things have happened. I’m trying to look at it a day at a time and not 10 days in advance.”Beckham refused to say whether he had more tests on his quad since last week.Looking back on the season Will Grier Jersey , Beckham said he has been encouraged with what the Giants have done under Pat Shurmur, especially winning four of five after the bye week. They went 3-13 in 2017 with a different coaching staff.“Ever since I have been here, we have lost close games,” Beckham said. “There haven’t been a lot of games we have been blown out. Recently, we found a way to win these close games. Definitely finding ways to win and change that culture.”Beckham said not making the Pro Bowl was motivation to work harder and get there next year.NOTES: Besides Beckham, LB Alec Ogletree (concussion), WR Russell Shepard (ankle) and C Spencer Pulley (calf) missed practice for the second straight day. DL Kerry Wynn (thumb) was limited again. S Michael Thomas practiced fully after being excused Wednesday for a family problem. Josh Allen had mixed emotions after an inconsistent performance in his first meeting with boyhood idol Tom Brady.“I wanted to beat him, for sure,” the Bills rookie quarterback said following Buffalo’s 24-12 loss at New England on Sunday. “He’s one of the greatest to ever do it and as a young kid growing up http://www.panthersauthorizedshops.com/authentic-christian-miller-jersey , I never thought I’d get the opportunity to be on the same field as him.“So it’s a cool feeling. But at the same time, I was focused on winning a football game.”Then again, it wasn’t so much Brady who beat the Bills. It was the Bill Belichick-coached Patriots defense that stifled Allen and Buffalo’s offense.Having shown progress in Allen’s previous four starts since he returned from missing four games with a sprained throwing elbow, the Bills offense took a step back against New England.The Bills (5-10) totaled 289 yards of offense and managed 14 first downs after gaining more than 300 yards and producing more than 20 first downs in five of their last six games.Allen completed 20 of 41 passes for 217 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions. It was the fifth time in 10 starts Allen has committed two or more turnovers.The Patriots disguised their coverages in the first half and limited Allen to 48 yards passing. It was the fifth time this season he has had 60 or fewer yards at halftime.“They did that for an obvious reason, being young,” Allen said. “It took a little bit to adjust to. At the same time, I’ve got to be better with my eyes, got to be better with where I put the football.”Belichick improved to 10-0 at home when facing a rookie quarterback Jordan Scarlett Jersey , and 17-5 overall.Allen boosted his passing totals with 72 yards and Buffalo’s only touchdown in the final minutes when the game had already been decided. The garbage-time production led Allen to topping 200 yards for the fifth consecutive game, the longest streak by a Bills quarterback since Tyrod Taylor’s five-game stretch from Nov. 30-Dec. 20, 2015.The Bills did little to help their rookie quarterback on offense. Allen’s receivers dropped several passes, tight end Jason Croom fumbled in the red zone after 24-yard gain, and the running game was ineffective.“When given the opportunity, you’ve got to make plays,” Bills coach Sean McDermott said. “Look, sometimes Josh could have made a better throw. But there were other times where the ball was catchable and you’ve got to make plays on the ball.”Buffalo finished with 72 yards rushing, the first time in five games it failed to rush for 100 or more. LeSean McCoy returned after missing one game with a hamstring injury but had only 9 yards on six carries. Undrafted rookie Keith Ford led the Bills with 33 yards on seven carries.Allen scrambled five times for 30 yards. He leads the Bills in rushing this season with 536 yards David Montgomery Jersey , but has been held to 46 over the past two weeks after totaling 335 in his previous three games.Buffalo’s defense had one glaring weakness in allowing a season-high 273 rushing yards against the Patriots. But the Bills defense gave Allen opportunities with three takeaways and limited Brady to 126 passing yards — his lowest since he threw for 123 yards in a 2003 loss to the Bills.“Our defense played spectacular,” Allen said. “They forced three turnovers and we got (three) points off that, and that starts with me.”Brady greeted Allen on the field after the game and gave the rookie some encouragement.“Nothing too crazy, but he’s one of the good ones off the field, too,” Allen said. “I’m sure he doesn’t want to share too many of his tricks or whatever is up his sleeve. Got to hand it to him. Such a long career and he’s still playing extremely well.”
