Darrian Beavers pushing for starting job as Giants linebacker despite coming off knee injury

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:14:32 GMT

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Sixth-round draft pick Darrian Beavers was pushing for a starting job at inside linebacker for the New York Giants a year ago when his rookie season was ended by an ACL injury during a preseason game.Instead of being one of the surprises of Brian Daboll’s first season as coach, Beavers became the NFL version of a redshirt. He endured surgery, the ups and downs of rehabilitation and ultimately the disappointment of watching practices, sitting in meetings and learning for five months. It was tough.The 24-year-old Beavers is back for a second go-around, and there is a good chance he is going to get a run at starting again.In the offseason, the Giants signed Indianapolis Colts linebacker Bobby Okereke as a free agent. It seemed Jarrad Davis would play inside with him until the veteran injured his ACL training in the offseason.Beavers is now getting first-team reps along with Micah McFadden, a fifth-round draft pick last year, and others.“I’m in a reall...
