Giants’ Beason may miss start of season with broken foot

Jon Beason's season opener is in jeopardy.

The Giants middle linebacker suffered a ligament tear and small fracture to the sesamoid in his right foot during OTAs on Thursday, which is expected to cost him three months on the sideline, according to the Giants website.

Big Blue opens the season Sept. 8 in Detroit.

Beason will undergo further examination and review of his injury on Monday in Charlotte with foot and ankle specialist Dr. Robert Anderson, before determining a plan to repair and rehab the injury.

"The prognosis is X amount of time and it [the Sept. 8 opener] is within that timeframe," Beason said, according to the Giants site. "I expect to be back. If not, I'll be back as soon as I can. That's really how you have to look at it. If it's not 16 [games played], maybe it's 15 or 14. Whatever it is, you want it to be that number as opposed to one."

Beason was hurt defending a pass play during the Giants' practice. He left the field under his own power, was immediately examined by the team's medical staff and taken inside on a cart before traveling to the hospital.

"It's just one of those things – you have freak injuries," Beason said. "I was just changing directions. I would say that the movement was a little unorthodox, I was flexing with the big toe in the ground and then I pivoted on it all the way around. It's a movement that I often do that allows me to come in and out of my breaks faster. I literally felt like I stepped in like a sprinkler head hole. I just felt it give right away, so the next step I knew I couldn't put the foot down."

Fourth-year pro Mark Herzlich, offseason acquisition Jameel McClain (an outside linebacker) and fifth-round draft choice Devon Kennard are options to spend time at middle linebacker.
