Beckham will not return to the game Monday night. He was also tested for a concussion and cleared the protocol, but underwent further tests on his ankle. Beckham appeared back on the Giants' sideline in the second half wearing street clothes, walking under his own power.
After the game, Beckham was seen jogging to the locker room.
