Jarvis Landry reported that Odell Beckham Jr. looked fully recovered when they worked out together this past week in Austin, Texas.

"Man, he looked amazing," Landry told reporters. "I can't wait for you guys to see him. I can't wait for him to get back out there. He's in fantastic shape and he's ready to go. He's only what, 6½ months [beyond surgery], and he's already doing some things that will blow your mind away."

Beckham missed out on the fun after suffering a torn right anterior cruciate ligament in the opening minutes of Cleveland's Oct. 25 game in Cincinnati.

Beckham underwent surgery a few weeks later.

Saquon Barkley is not ready to participate in minicamp nearly nine months after tearing his ACL and the New York Giants are taking things slowly.

"We are going to make sure that we take Saquon's rehab at the correct rate for his individual body and injury," Joe Judge said. "We have to make sure that we let him get it at his pace and when we put him on the field he can play 100% aggressive and confident and he's going to play safe and he can play effective."

Barkley was in attendance at minicamp and has been participating in team meetings and doing what he can in the offseason program.
