Odell Beckham Jr. (hip) expects to play Sunday against Rams

NFL, New York Giants

LONDON -- After practicing sparingly throughout the week, New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., who has been dealing with a hip injury, expects to play Sunday afternoon at Twickenham Stadium against the Rams.

The Giants listed him a probable for the contest, even though probable isn't a designation any longer. The Giants landed in London on Friday morning.

"I feel good. I feel better," Beckham said, after missing practice Wednesday and being a limited participant Thursday. 

"Traveling probably doesn't help as much," he said, "but I feel better on that end. Definitely feel better than [Thursday]."

Beckham was injured in the first half Sunday of a win over the Baltimore Ravens. He returned and had 211 yards and two touchdowns in the second half, including the game-winning score. There is little doubt he'll be ready for the Rams.

"Not so much," Beckham said about any chance of missing the contest. "I think once you get there and you feel the atmosphere ... last week I made it through by the grace of God. His giving me the strength and then also it was the atmosphere that you're in, the adrenaline rush you get, it will make the pain and nagging of it kind of go way in a sense.

"Hopefully there will be a lot more of that and I'll be ready for Sunday."

The Giants have a bye the following week during which he can rest up.

Cornerback Eli Apple (groin), running back Rashad Jennings (wrist), defensive end Olivier Vernon (wrist), linebacker Keenan Robinson (ankle) and cornerback Trevin Wade (ankle) were also listed as probable. They are all expected to play.

Long snapper Zak DeOssie (ankle) is the biggest question mark.

The Giants signed long snapper Tyler Ott to the practice squad earlier this week. He spent the summer with the team.

Right tackle Marshall Newhouse (calf) and safeties Nat Berhe (concussion) and Darian Thompson (foot) were ruled out.

The Giants also have to make a roster move. They're set to sign veteran kicker Robbie Gould to replace Josh Brown.

Brown was left home after documents in which he admits domestic violence were made public.
