New York Giants rookie cornerback Sam Beal is out for the season after suffering a shoulder injury, a source told ESPN's Dianna Russini.

Beal was taken in the third round of the supplemental draft earlier this month, making him the highest-drafted player in the supplemental draft since wide receiver Josh Gordon was a second-round selection in 2012.

Janoris Jenkins and Eli Apple are set to start at cornerback for New York, but Beal was expected to at least push for playing time. The Giants could look to bring in veteran talent to make up for the lost depth at the position.
