Season will not return to Sunday's game against the 49ers after suffering a concussion in the first quarter, Newsday's Tom Rock reports.
Beason suffered the injury on a tackling attempt early in Sunday's game. He was replaced in the contest by Uani Unga. Expect the team to update his status at some point following the game.

While Beason was active last Thursday against the Redskins, Uani Unga saw 62 percent of the snaps.
Beason played mostly on running downs and failed to record a tackle. As Beason gets up to speed and in game shape, he could take on a bigger role, but Unga is playing well, so it's likely both players will see action.
Thu Sep 24 201519:09Beason (knee) active for Thursday's game against Redskins
Beason (knee) is active for Thursday's game against the Redskins.
After missing the first two games of the season, Beason will likely replace Uani Unga as the starting middle linebacker. Beason should have an every-down role, or at least close to it, for Thursday's matchup with a Washington team that wants to pound the rock.

Beason (knee) is listed as probable for Thursday's contest against Washington, Mike Jones of the Washington Post reports.
Beason sprained his knee in the Giants' second preseason game, which required one month to heal. In his season debut, he may yield middle linebacker to Uani Unga, but Beason should eventually take over the starting role.
Tue Sep 22 201515:10Beason (knee) full participant in Tuesday's practice
Beason (knee) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice.
Despite getting in a full practice, Beason remains uncertain for Thursday's game against the Redskins after missing the first two weeks of the season. At the very least, he should be back for Week 4, likely serving in an every-down role.
Sun Sep 20 201511:27Beason (knee) inactive Sunday against Falcons
Beason (knee) is inactive Sunday against the Falcons.
Season was listed as doubtful due to the ailment, and it will force him to miss his second straight game. Uni Unga will get the start in Beason's absence.
Fri Sep 18 201514:08Beason (knee) doubtful for Sunday's game against Falcons
Beason (knee) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Newsday's Tom Rock reports.
With Beason presumably missing a second straight game to start the season, Uani Unga will get another start at middle linebacker, after tallying 12 tackles (10 solo) and an interception in Week 1 against the Cowboys. Beason's starting job should still be safe once he's healthy.

Beason (knee) will participate in some light work on the sidelines during practice Thursday.
Beason has been out with a sprained knee since the Giants' second preseason game against the Jaguars, leaving Uani Unga to man the middle linebacker position in his absence. While Beason's status for Sunday is still day-to-day, he could be in line for a decent amount of tackles when he returns to the lineup.
Thu Sep 17 201502:51Beason (knee) didn't practice with teammates on Wednesday
Beason (knee) didn't practice with his teammates on Wednesday, again putting his availability in serious doubt, the Newark Star-Ledger reports.
If and when he ever gets up to full speed, he'll be a decent source of tackles from the middle linebacker spot, but for now Uani Unga is likely to get the bulk of the reps there.

Beason (knee) has been ruled out of Sunday's season opener against the Cowboys.
Beason suffered a sprained knee during the preseason, causing him to be a limited participant in practice this week and leaving him short for Sunday evening's game in Dallas. Since Beason is no stranger to injuries, the Giants will surely have his replacements in mind, with linebacker Mark Herzlich most likely to receive an increased snap count in Beason's absence.

Beason practiced in some capacity on Monday for the first time since being injured in the Giants' second preseason game against the Jaguars, the Newark Star-Ledger reports.
Beason looks like a strong bet to play Week 1. He's a good source of tackles when healthy, but he usually gets hurt again after a few games.
Wed Sep 2 201502:28Beason (knee) worked on side field with trainer on Tuesday
Beason (knee) worked on a side field with a trainer on Tuesday, the Newark Star-Ledger reports. He was running hard and backpedalling.
Beason has a chance to be ready for Week 1, but it's anyone's guess how long he'll hold up once he's healthy enough to play. Beason is a good source of tackles from the middle linebacker spot on the rare occasion he's able to stay on the field.
Sat Aug 29 201514:15Beason (knee) unlikely to play in Saturday's preseason game
Beason (knee) is unlikely to play in Saturday's preseason game, the New York Daily News' Ralph Vacchiano reports.
Beason is week-to-week with a sprained knee and his status is up in the air for the final preseason game Thursday.
Sun Aug 23 201517:13Beason has sprained knee and considered week-to-week
Beason has a sprained knee and is considered week-to-week, according to Giants head coach Tom Coughlin.
Beason appears to have dodged anything serious, but he still has no concrete timetable for his return to the field. Beason will now be monitored on a weekly basis, but it appears unlikely the linebacker misses an extended amount of time with the injury.
Sun Aug 23 201501:16Beason sprained knee during Saturday's game against Jaguars
Beason sprained his knee during Saturday's game against the Jaguars, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.
After missing the majority of the 2014 season with a right foot injury that eventually required surgery, the former Panthers star linebacker could miss more time with this recent knee injury. With Jameel McClain (neck) and Mark Herzlich (concussion) already injured to start the preseason, the Giants were counting on Beason to lead their quickly depleting linebacker corps. It's unlikely the 30-year-old will miss regular season action to start the season, but it's yet another injury for Big Blue, who has been decimated by injuries throughout the last two seasons.

Beason (foot) will likely see limited reps in training camp as the Giants try to preserve his health, NJ.com reports. "I'm sure the Giants will force me into being smart about reps and the workload, I'll do what I can to listen them, but at the same time, do what I have to do to prepare and get ready for the season," Beason said.
Beason, whose 2014 campaign was shortened due to surgery on his right foot, is eager to get back on the field this season and play under new defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo. Beason's health has been a big concern throughout the last few seasons, playing in just 24 games since 2010. The injury that continues to bother him heading into the 2015 season is to his toe, which will require minor maintenance throughout the year in order for him to remain on the field. The 30-year-old veteran is slated to start at middle linebacker out of the gate.

Beason has been ruled out for the remainder of this season and will undergo surgery on his right foot, the New York Daily News reports.
Beason missed virtually all of the preseason with a ligament tear and small bone fracture in his foot, which he re-injured in Week 2 of the regular season. Now, the veteran 29-year-old will require surgery to fix the issue, ending his 2014 campaign. No stranger to the sidelines, Beason has played just 24 games since 2010.
Wed Oct 22 201400:07Beason (foot) 50/50 to return this season
Beason (foot) is 50/50 to return this season, the Newark Star-Ledger reports. "I'm still deciding if the smart thing is to go ahead and get it fixed and get ready for next season," the injured linebacker said.
If Beason does return he could do so as soon as Week 9 after the bye, but don't be surprised if he shuts it down for good.
Mon Oct 20 201423:42Beason (foot) expected to head back to North Carolina for visit ...
Beason (foot) is expected to head back to North Carolina for a visit with foot and ankle specialist Dr. Robert Anderson over the bye week, the Newark Star-Ledger reports.
Even if he's cleared to play in Week 9, it would be hard to count on Beason for his full complement of snaps.
Sun Oct 19 201418:23Beason re-aggravated previous toe injury and despite X-rays retu...
Beason re-aggravated his previous toe injury and despite X-rays returning negative, he has been ruled out of the remainder of Sunday's game versus the Cowboys, ESPN reports.
Beason has struggled with foot and toe problems throughout this season and Sunday proved no different. While Beason will not return to the action, Jameel McClain is plenty familiar with filling in at middle linebacker for the Giants.
