Beal was waived by the Giants on Tuesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Beal was a third-round selection of the Giants in the 2018 NFL Draft. He dealt with a shoulder injury during the 2019 season and sat out the 2020 season due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Beal never really got going in 2021, playing just eight snaps between defense and special teams while active for three games.

Beal pleaded guilty to two gun-related charges stemming from a June 2020 incident Friday, Zack Rosenblatt of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

EDGE Analysis

Beal opted out of the 2020 campaign amid the COVID-19 pandemic, and he was indicted eight days after he announced his decision to forgo the season. The 24-year-old skipped voluntary OTA practices recently and failed to stand out at mandatory minicamp this week. The Giants said that they are aware of the situation, but it's not yet clear whether Beal's plea will result in disciplinary action.

Beal pleaded guilty June 4 to two gun-related charges stemming from his June 2020 arrest in Ohio, Zack Rosenblatt of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

EDGE Analysis

Beal has been placed on probation until June 2022, but he's not expected to face jail time after pleading guilty to charges of carrying a concealed weapon and improperly handling a firearm in a vehicle. The cornerback was indicted on the gun charges last August, eight days after he announced that he would opt out of the 2020 campaign. The final two years of Beal's rookie contract will toll over to 2021, but the 24-year-old cornerback will still likely find himself on the outside looking in for a roster spot with the Giants heading into training camp. Even before Beal opted out of the past season, injuries had limited him to just six games over his first two years in the league.

Beal is opting out of the 2020 campaign, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Beal looked to have a real shot at kicking off the season as a starter, with Deandre Baker (personal) having been placed on the commissioner's except list, but he's ultimately decided to rejoin the team in 2021. He looked solid when called upon as a member of the Giants' secondary across six games in 2019, including three starts.

Beal would likely enter the starting lineup if Deandre Baker misses any time in 2020, Matt Lombardo of NJ.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Beal was limited to just six games as a rookie in 2019 due to injuries, but he produced as a reliable member of the secondary when healthy. With Baker's legal situation still unresolved and a suspension within the realm of possibilities, it's conceivable that Beal could be thrust into the starting lineup for at least a handful of games. Having averaged eight tackles in his three starts as a rookie, Beal's situation could be worth monitoring in IDP formats.

Beal (shoulder) recorded 26 tackles (20 solo) and one defended pass across six contests in 2019.

EDGE Analysis

After missing his entire rookie season due to a shoulder injury, Beal managed to retake the field Week 10 of the 2019 campaign and ramp up to a starting workload between Week 14 and 16. He was forced to miss the Giants' regular-season finale due a shoulder injury of undisclosed severity, but there's not yet any reason to worry about his availability for OTAs.

Beal (shoulder) is officially inactive for Sunday's matchup with Philadelphia, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Beal was one of the many players that came out of Week 16's overtime win injured, but he is one of the only players not ready to play in the season's final game. With the second-year pro sidelined, look for Grant Haley to see an increase in depth corner snaps.

Beal (shoulder) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Beal is nursing a shoulder injury sustained during Week 16's win over Washington. With Corey Ballentine (back) also listed as questionable, it would be a notable blow to New York's secondary depth if Beal were forced to miss Sunday's season finale.

Beal was forced out of Sunday's game against the Redskins with a neck injury, Paul Schwartz of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Beal has started the last two weeks with Janoris Jenkins out of the lineup (and now in New Orleans), generating 18 tackles and a pass breakup between the games. If the second-year pro out of Western Michigan doesn't return to the lineup, Grant Haley and Antonio Hamilton are due for upticks in usage.

Beal notched 11 tackles (eight solo) and one defended pass during Sunday's 36-20 win over the Dolphins.

EDGE Analysis

Beal played 71 snaps (100 percent) on defense during the Week 15 win, drawing the start at cornerback in place of Janoris Jenkins, who the Giants recently waived. The 2018 third-round pick stands to continue playing a key role in New York's secondary down the stretch, and his propensity for tackles could make him a notable fantasy asset in IDP formats.
