Though Beckham does put on some eyewear at various points throughout the clip, it takes mere seconds for your eyes to be harmed by an unfettered viewing. So, understandably, Giants fans are worried that their star player's precious vision may be permanently damaged.
"Come on man. I need you for fantasy, you can't go blind," said one commenter. A number of others shared their reactions on Twitter.

Then, an even more troubling development occurred during the Giants' preseason match-up against the Cleveland Browns last night. Beckham suffered an ankle injury after a low helmet shot to his knee. Thankfully, x-rays on his injury came back negative, and Beckham tweeted later that night, seeming to indicate that he'll be okay.
Thank u

At this point, let's just keep our fingers crossed that he makes it to the first Sunday of the regular season.
