Giants linebacker Jon Beason told reporters Friday that the concussion he suffered early in last week’s game with the 49ers was the result of an illegal block by 49ers guard Alex Boone that caused Beason to collide with 49ers running back Carlos Hyde.

“A coward move,” Beason said.

Beason told reporters that Boone grabbed him from behind and pushed him into Hyde, causing his concussion.

“I can honestly say if I wouldn’t have been pushed in the back, I wouldn’t have been concussed,” Beason said.

He said Boone showed “no regard for another player, their career. It could have been a lot worse.”
