Beason is slated to visit a foot specialist Friday in Charlotte, NC, Ralph Vacchiano of the New York Daily News reports.

Analysis:

Beason was sidelined at practice for a second straight day Thursday. However, despite the inactivity, he relayed afterward that his foot feels "drastically" improved, according to Jordan Raanan of NJ.com. Beason further believes that his current issue is tied to loose scar tissue, which, if true, could clear the linebacker for Sunday's contest against the Texans. However, he would seem hard-pressed to push aside a healthy Jameel McClain for many snaps at middle linebacker, if Beason is active.
