New York Giants CB Sam Beal out for 2018 with shoulder injury

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport said Wednesday that Beal dislocated his shoulder in a "weird practice accident" and could undergo surgery.

Cornerback Sam Beal, whom the New York Giants selected two weeks ago in the NFL supplemental draft, likely will miss the 2018 season with a shoulder injury, according to multiple reports

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport said Wednesday that Beal dislocated his shoulder in a "weird practice accident" and could undergo surgery.

The Giants took Beal, from Western Michigan, in the third round of the recent supplemental draft and signed him to a four-year deal. He declared for the draft after the school ruled him academically ineligible for the 2018 season.

In choosing Beal, the Giants gave up their third-round pick in the 2019 NFL Draft.

The Giants had expected Beal, 21, to contribute this season and play alongside Eli Apple, Landon Collins, Janoris Jenkins and others in the secondary.

Beal had two interceptions at Western Michigan, both coming in 2017.
