EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Ben McAdoo is getting the New York Giants ready for their trip to London with some uncertainty about the status of Odell Beckham Jr.

The star receiver had a career-best game in catching eight passes for 222 yards and two touchdowns against the Baltimore Ravens in Sunday’s 27-23 win. But the 23-year-old receiver is dealing with a hip pointer.

“He’s down there getting some treatment,” McAdoo said Monday when asked how Beckham felt. “We’ll know more when we go to hit the field with him.”

McAdoo had no idea how much Beckham would practice this week as the Giants prepared for Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Rams.

“We’ll see early in the week,” he said.

While Beckham was outstanding, the third-year player still found a way to upset McAdoo. After catching his go-ahead 66-yard touchdown with 1:24 to play, Beckham ran out of the end zone and took off his helmet to celebrate and drew a 15-yard penalty.

“We had a discussion about it,” McAdoo said. “Can’t have it. He knows that. He went out and wanted to fire up the kickoff coverage and the defense. He knows we can’t have it.”

The Giants will practice Wednesday and Thursday in New Jersey and then head to London.

McAdoo wants the players to make sure they get their rest early this week, so he pushed back some starting times for team activities. The team will adjust its normal workout on Friday and Saturday to make sure the players recover from the flight.

McAdoo did make sure to get his passport updated.

“I’m not much of a world traveler,” he said, adding any passport issues with the players were dealt with in training camp.
