Beason (toe) is listed as active for Sunday night's game against Philadelphia, the New York Daily News' Ralph Vacchiano reports.
Beason is back in action for the Giants on Sunday, but with just eight tackles to his credit in two games thus far, a wait-and-see approach is in order in IDP formats.

Beason (toe) is listed as questionable for Sunday night's game against Philadelphia, the New York Daily News' Ralph Vacchiano reports.
Beason was limited in practice all week. There's hope that he can play, but given the late kickoff, he makes for a risky start unless you have another option who can take his place before Sunday night's kickoff.
Wed Oct 8 201420:35Beason (toe) limited at Wednesday's practice
Beason (toe) was limited at Wednesday's practice.
Beason is beginning this week as he did the last one, which ultimately resulted in his third consecutive DNP. The team prefers that he have enough health to handle a full workload, and until he achieves that lofty goal, he may remain on the sideline.
Tue Oct 7 201400:36Beason (foot) has chance to play against Eagles Sunday
Beason (foot) has a chance to play against the Eagles Sunday, the Newark Star-Ledger reports.
He'll have to convince the trainers he can hold up for a full game, but that could happen this week.

Beason is inactive for Sunday's game against the Falcons due to a toe injury.
Beason was questionable coming into the game and despite saying he would be good to go, he'll sit for the second consecutive week, with Jameel McClain likely replacing him again.
Sun Oct 5 201409:59Beason (toe) not expected to play Sunday against Falcons
Beason (toe) is not expected to play Sunday against the Falcons, according to NFL Network's Kimberly Jones.
With Beason expected to sit Sunday, look for Jameel McClain to see an expanded role in the Giants' Week 5 defense.

Beason (foot/toe) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Atlanta, ESPN's Kieran Darcy reports.
Beason said Thursday that he expects to play, though coach Tom Coughlin did not express that same level of confidence Friday. Even if Beason is able to suit up, he may rotate with Jameel McClain at middle linebacker.
Fri Oct 3 201400:39Beason (foot) expects to see some action Sunday against Falcons
Beason (foot) expects to see some action Sunday against the Falcons, the Newark Star-Ledger reports.
Even if he does play, he'll likely rotate with Jameel McClain at middle linebacker. Once Beason gets to full strength, he should be a reliable source of tackles.
Wed Oct 1 201418:23Beason (foot/toe) limited in Wednesday's practice
Beason (foot/toe) was limited in Wednesday's practice, the Giants' official site reports.
Beason was limited in each practice in advance of last Thursday's tilt in Washington, but with 10 days between games, he seemingly has a better shot to suit up Sunday for the first time since Week 2. When he achieves active status, it remains to be seen who will man middle linebacker between Beason and Jameel McClain (24 tackles and a half sack in four outings this season).
Thu Sep 25 201419:02Beason (toe) inactive for Thursday's game against Washington
Beason (toe) is inactive for Thursday's game against Washington, the Giants' official site reports.
With Beason out Thursday, look for Jameel McClain to once again man the middle linebacker slot for the Giants in Week 4.

Beason (toe) is listed as doubtful for Thursday's game at Washington, Art Stapleton of the Bergen Record reports.
The Giants seem to be taking a prudent approach by deeming Beason all but out for Week 4, which would mark his second consecutive absence. If he's indeed inactive Thursday, Jameel McClain will again man middle linebacker.
Tue Sep 23 201414:06Beason (toe) limited during Tuesday's practice
Beason (toe) was limited during Tuesday's practice, the New York Daily News reports.
Beason sat out Sunday's game against Houston, but holds a realistic chance of being ready for Thursday's divisional contest versus the Redskins. However, considering the veteran Beason's history, the Giants will probably keep him limited during practice, even if they expect to use him Thursday. As a result, Beason's status should be checked closer to kickoff.
Mon Sep 22 201418:42Beason (foot/toe) would have been limited in practice Monday
Beason (foot/toe) would have been limited in practice Monday, if the Giants had held drills, Ralph Vacchiano of the New York Daily News reports.
On Tuesday, Beason will likely fulfill the expectation of practice participation, at least in some capacity. The test could prove to the Giants that he can contribute to the linebacking corps Thursday at Washington, but his status could finally result in questionable status for the first time since he was knocked out in Week 2 with the injury.
Mon Sep 22 201417:10After aggravating foot in Week 2 against Cardinals and sitting o...
After aggravating his foot in Week 2 against the Cardinals and sitting out this week against Houston, Beason has a realistic chance of playing against Washington on Thursday, the Newark Star-Ledger reports.
Following Beason's trade last season from Carolina, he has quickly become a leader on the Giants defense and was named a captain this season. Although the defense played well this week against the Texans, he should resume his role as a starter if he does play on Thursday.
Fri Sep 19 201414:47Beason (toe) out for Sunday's game against Houston
Beason (toe) is out for Sunday's game against Houston.
Beason indicated that his foot had made significant progress in recent days, but not enough for the Giants to give him any chance of playing this week. He should be considered questionable for Week 4.
Thu Sep 18 201417:35Beason slated to visit foot specialist Friday in Charlotte
Beason is slated to visit a foot specialist Friday in Charlotte, NC, Ralph Vacchiano of the New York Daily News reports.
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.

The Giants are still holding out hope Beason's foot injury is nothing serious and that he can return to the field not only this season, but maybe in the next few weeks, the Newark Star-Ledger reports.
We'll know more over the next few days. Beason is a long shot to play this week, and it could turn out the injury is serious after all.
Tue Sep 16 201419:39Beason (toe) expected to miss few weeks of action
Beason (toe) is expected to miss a few weeks of action, at the very least, Newsday's Tom Rock reports.
After aggravating the foot injury that sidelined him for much of the spring and summer, Beason is set to visit a foot specialist in Charlotte later this week for a clearer diagnosis on his condition. The Giants are hoping that the issue will clear up for the linebacker after a few weeks of rest, but there's a possibility he could require season-ending surgery. Mark Herzlich stepped in at middle linebacker after Beason left Sunday's contest and will likely receive the first opportunity to replace him in the starting lineup.
Tue Sep 16 201417:12Beason aggravated previous foot injury in Sunday's loss to Cardi...
Beason aggravated a previous foot injury in Sunday's loss to the Cardinals, Ralph Vacchiano of the New York Daily News reports.
It was orginally reported that Beason suffered a toe injury in Sunday's game, but the Giants clarified his status Tuesday by announcing that he is dealing with a setback he has experienced previously. Further details about Beason's status were unavailable, and he may still need to visit a foot specialist, so consider him questionable for Week 3 at this point.
Sun Sep 14 201415:19Beason suffered toe injury during Sunday's game and questionable...
Beason suffered a toe injury during Sunday's game and is questionable to return, the New York Daily News reports.
Beason recorded four tackles (three solo) prior to exiting Sunday's game. Although he's listed as questionable moving forward, it's worth noting that Beason missed the entire preseason with a ligament tear in his foot.
