Odell Beckham Jr. dancing typically wouldn't be news. But everything the Giants wide receiver does right now is a hot topic as the team has provided little information about the status of his injured left ankle.

Linebacker J.T. Thomas posted an Instagram story on Wednesday afternoon of players in the locker room before their road trip to face the Patriots in the final preseason game on Thursday night. Beckham was one of the players shown in the series of brief video clips.

Beckham did a little shimmy and it didn't appear that his ankle bothered him as he twisted his feet in and out. Now, it would be a mistake to draw conclusions from a seven-second video of a dance move. But it's notable that Beckham wasn't wearing a walking boot or any protective gear on his ankle in the video. He's also traveling with the team to New England rather than remaining at the Giants' facility for treatment.

The Giants have not provided a specific diagnosis of Beckham's injury since announcing he had a sprained ankle after he was hit low by Browns defensive back Briean Boddy-Calhoun in a preseason game on Aug. 21. Coach Ben McAdoo repeatedly has said Beckham "has an ankle" when asked for updates on his star receiver.

There have been reports that Beckham could miss the season opener against the Cowboys next Sunday and that he is undergoing laser treatment on his ankle. The team has not addressed any of the speculation surrounding Beckham's injury.

Beckham was spotted riding an exercise bike in the weight room during a practice last Thursday. He was not seen during the team's two practices this week.

"He's getting treatment, he's going through his workouts, doing everything he can to get ready to go," McAdoo said on Tuesday.

He's also dancing and that's a welcome sight for anxious Giants fans searching for good news.
