Giants DC Perry Fewell said the team signed LB Jameel McClain partly as insurance against an injury to LB Jon Beason. Fewell said the Giants brought McClain in to start at outside 'backer, but they also viewed him as a player who could step in for Beason in the event of an injury. The insurance policy paid of quickly, as Beason injured his foot during OTAs and is now questionable for the start of the season. McClain may be able to play middle linebacker, but he is an underwhelming option. The Giants need Beason to get healthy quickly.
