 Beckham hurt his hamstring last Sunday in a victory over the San
Francisco 49ers and did not practice this week.
Coach Tom Coughlin said the Giants would decide around game time
whether Beckham could play.
New York anticipates being without several players because of
injury, including wide receiver Victor Cruz.
The numbers are even more sparse in the secondary. Injuries inspired
the promotion of cornerback Brandon McGee from the practice squad.
He replaced tight end Jerome Cunningham, who was waived, on the
53-man roster.
The Giants will play without right cornerback Prince Amukamara, who
is expected to miss two-to-four games with a partially torn pectoral
muscle, and nickel corner Trumaine McBride is listed as questionable
because of a groin injury and an illness that forced him to miss one
day of practice and left him limited in two others.

alarm was pulled at their hotel in Seattle ahead of the game against
the Seahawks.

The team said in a statement that alarms were pulled at
approximately 5:40 a.m. PT, but only on the two floors of the hotel
that Panthers players were staying on. The team said the players
were able to return to their rooms at approximately 6 a.m. PT.
"Obviously, this is an issue that directly affects our club. We will
let the hotel and the league investigate," Panthers spokesman Steven
Drummond said.
The manager at the hotel told ESPN that an "investigation is still
ongoing" to determine the cause of the incident. (Editing by Steve
