Odell Beckham Jr.’s NFL comeback date has been ‘confirmed,’ according to an update on the superstar wide receiver.
The wide receiver is still an unrestricted free agent after leaving the Los Angeles Rams, where he won a Super Bowl after joining the team midseason following his controversial release from the Cleveland Browns. The 29-year-old wide receiver is still out after rupturing his ACL in the Los Angeles Rams’ Super Bowl victory, and he is a free agent.
According to the latest reports, Odell Beckham Jr. may not be able to return to the NFL for TWO MONTHS.
Beckham Jr. would become an important part of the Rams offense, scoring seven touchdowns in 11 starts and leading the team to a Super Bowl victory over the Cincinnati Bengals. After tearing his ACL, he would remain unsigned for the rest of the summer as he rehabbed the injury before returning to full health.
And, after reportedly being close to signing with a team in anticipation of a return, the latest news is that teams may have to wait up to two months to get the superstar back on the field.
He was reportedly cleared for full contact practice, but the most recent reports indicate that a full return is still some time away.
ESPN.com now reports, citing multiple unnamed team executives, that Beckham Jr. is expected to return in mid-December.
When he is declared fit, the Super Bowl champion will have no shortage of suitors, with the Green Bay Packers, Buffalo Bills, Kansas City Chiefs, and Baltimore Ravens all said to be interested, while the Rams have not ruled out a return.
OBJ will be pursued by a number of contending teams
Aside from the Bills, all of these teams are in desperate need of wide receiver help, with Aaron Rodgers suffering greatly with the Packers following Davante Adams’ departure to join the Las Vegas Raiders. Rodgers has spoken out about Beckham, admitting that he admires his game.
The Chiefs are also a strong contender, with Patrick Mahomes also losing his star wideout, Tyreek Hill, to the Miami Dolphins.
The Baltimore Ravens and Lamar Jackson have been without an elite wide receiver for some time, and the offense has struggled in spurts this season.
While Rams head coach Sean McVay has already stated that the team is interested in re-signing Beckham Jr.
