Giants LB Beason to miss rest of season
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}East Rutherford, NJ (SportsNetwork.com) - New York Giants linebacker Jon Beason will have surgery to repair a toe injury and will miss the rest of the season.
Giants coach Tom Coughlin confirmed the news on Monday.
The injury has troubled Beason since the offseason. He tore a ligament and fractured the sesamoid bone in his toe during an OTA workout in June and missed all of training camp and the preseason.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Beason played in the first two games of the season before re-injuring the toe and sat out the next three games. He was active in Weeks 6 and 7, but the injury slowed his performance.
The 29-year-old veteran visited a foot specialist during the club's bye week.
