Heading to Baltimore
Beckham agreed Sunday with the Ravens on a one-year contract worth up to $18 million, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Beckham spent the 2022 season as a free agent while recovering from a torn ACL suffered in the Rams' Super Bowl win over Cincinnati in February 2022. The 30-year-old has been in contact with and worked out for numerous teams this offseason, and he was scheduled to visit with the Jets on Monday. Instead, Baltimore will come away with the three-time Pro Bowler's services heading into the 2023 campaign. Across 12 games in the 2021 regular season and playoffs with the Rams, Beckham caught 48 passes…read more

Meeting in New York
Beckham (knee) is expected to visit the Jets on Monday, Josina Anderson of CBS Sports reports.
Analysis: Beckham is expected to be given a physical and get more acclimated with the Jets' training staff and coaches during his stay in New York, but Connor Hughes of SNY.tv did note there's currently no deal in place to sign the star wide receiver. This comes on the heels of a separate meeting with Beckham's representation in Arizona in which general manager Joe Douglas called the multi-time Pro Bowl wide receiver, "a unique talent...and the more weapons, the better." The 30-year-old has missed the…read more

Workout scheduled for Friday
Beckham (knee) has a scheduled workout for NFL teams in Arizona on Friday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: It's been 13 months since Beckham sustained a torn ACL in his left knee during the Rams' Super Bowl LVI victory against the Bengals in February 2022. The workout likely indicates he's back to full health -- or at least close to it -- and considering he wasn't under contract with a team this past season, he's eligible to sign with a new team at any point. During his 12-game run with L.A. in 2021 (including playoffs), Beckham put up a 48-593-7 line on 74 targets, reeling off seven catches of…read more

Odds of signing with Dallas fading
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones acknowledged Tuesday that the odds of the team signing Beckham (knee) this season are decreasing, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports. "The reality is though that time is moving on down the road relative to playing in the playoffs and so every day diminishes our chances of going forward [with Beckham]," Jones said during his weekly radio appearance on 105.3 The Fan Dallas.
Analysis: Just one week earlier, Jones told reporters to "stand by" on the possibility of Dallas bringing Beckham aboard, even though the receiver has said that he would prefer not to play until the postseason. Archer relays that the Cowboys had been open to the idea of signing Beckham and then placing him on injured reserve, in which case the wideout would have to miss the final three games of the regular season as well as Dallas' playoff opener before making his team debut in the divisional round,…read more

Still in play for Dallas
Cowboys president Jerry Jones said Friday that discussions with Beckham (knee) are "very alive," Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Recent reports suggest Beckham wants to sign beyond 2022 and play for the same team in 2023. It also seems he may not be ready to play until the playoffs, though he's been medically cleared to do so. Any team that signs him likely will want him to practice for at least a week or two before he's activated, which at this point makes Beckham unlikely to play in the 2022 regular season. The Cowboys, of course, will be in the playoffs, and among the favorites to make a deep run.

Eyeing postseason return
Beckham (knee) said Thursday in an appearance on Prime Video's "TNF in the Shop" that he's targeting a return to game action during the playoffs rather than the regular season. "I've played football for a long time," Beckham said. "I'm not saying that I couldn't step in and play regular season, but I don't see the point. I really don't. I would rather play when the pressure is on."
Analysis: Though Beckham reiterated that he's healthy again after receiving full medical clearance from the torn ACL in his left knee he sustained while playing for the Rams in the Super Bowl in February, his comments suggest that he prefers not to be viewed as a rental for a contending squad, but part of that team's plans for both the postseason and beyond. Over the past week, Beckham has met with the Bills, Giants and Cowboys, with Dallas reportedly expressing concern about the receiver's availability…read more

May not be ready by January
The Cowboys have concerns Beckham (knee) won't be ready to play before mid-January, Ed Werder of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Beckham visited Dallas on Monday and Tuesday, meeting with team president Jerry Jones and then attending a Dallas Mavericks game with Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons and cornerback Trevon Diggs. An earlier report suggested Beckham would pick a team by the end of the week, but that might not be the case if he's considered unlikely to contribute until next season.

Expected to pick team by mid-week
Beckham (knee) is scheduled to meet with the Cowboys on Monday and Tuesday before reaching a decision on his next team around the middle of the week, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Beckham's two-day visit with the Cowboys is similar to recent meetings he held with the Giants on Thursday and Friday and with the Bills on Friday and Saturday. In addition to talking with Cowboys officials and meeting the coaching staff and players, Beckham is also scheduled to undergo a physical as Dallas looks to ensure that he's made a full recovery from the torn ACL he suffered last February.

Beckham (knee) is scheduled to meet with the Giants on Thursday and Friday before making visits to the Cowboys and Bills following the weekend, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: According to Rapoport, one source with direct knowledge of Beckham's rehab program for the torn ACL in his left knee he suffered Feb. 13 in the Rams' Super Bowl win over the Bengals said the wideout has received full medical clearance, though Beckham will still need time to get back up to game speed with football-type activities upon signing with a team.

Beckham (knee) is scheduled to meet with the Cowboys on Dec. 5 about potentially signing with the team, Jay Glazer of Fox Sports reports.
Analysis: Prior reports have suggested that Beckham intends to sign following Thanksgiving Day, and while he remains on track to do so, the timing of his meeting with the Cowboys indicates that he won't formalize a contract with Dallas -- or any other team -- until after Week 13 concludes. In addition to the Cowboys, Josina Anderson of CBS Sports relays that Beckham has meetings scheduled with the Giants and Bills, and Anderson notes that the receiver is continuing to have discussions with the Chiefs and…read more

May sign after Thanksgiving
Beckham (knee) isn't expected to sign with a new team until after Thanksgiving Day, though he has already received offers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Beckham reportedly intends to conduct a series of free-agent visits before making a deal with any team, so it's still possible he could don a new uniform before the end of November. Schefter reports that the Cowboys are currently atop Beckham's list of possible landing spots, though the Giants, Chiefs, Bills and 49ers are also candidates. On the other hand, the Rams and Packers are reportedly no longer considered potential destinations for Beckham, due to their difficult paths to playoff…read more

Narrowing potential teams
Beckham (knee) is hoping to narrow the list of teams he is considering and ultimately sign a contract by the end of November, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Beckham has been linked to the Cowboys, Bills, Chiefs, Giants and 49ers, though it's unclear how many of those teams are serious contenders to sign him. While previous reports have suggested that Beckham would like to play by early December, he'd likely need to sign earlier than this report suggests to reach that goal. Either way, Beckham appears to have interest primarily from teams in playoff contention, so he could play a significant role in any postseason run.

Nearing full medical clearance
Beckham (knee) is expected to be "fully cleared" to practice by the end of the week, Jay Glazer of Fox Sports reports.
Analysis: With Beckham's rehab from the torn ACL he suffered in the Rams' Feb. 13 Super Bowl win over the Bengals nearly behind him, the 30-year-old receiver is expected to soon turn his focus to signing with a team. According to Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo of NFL Network, Beckham will likely sign with a team by early December, and he should have an active market with the Rams, Giants, Bills, Packers, Chiefs and Cowboys among the teams that have been linked to the wideout.

Aiming for early December debut
Beckham (knee) hopes to complete his recovery form a torn ACL and sign with a team around early December, Mike Garofolo and Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: After suffering the left knee injury in the Rams' Feb. 13 Super Bowl victory over the Bengals and undergoing surgery two weeks later, Beckham was hopeful to be back to 100 percent by around mid-November. The veteran wideout hasn't hit any reported snags in his rehab program, but he nonetheless looks like he'll require at least a couple more weeks beyond mid-November to get back to 100 percent.

Analysis: Beckham said he wants to play for the Rams but doesn't want to sign for less than what he's worth. Recent reports suggest he's aiming to be ready in mid-November and hopes to sign with a team before receiving medical clearance to play in a game. Potential suitors besides the Rams include the Packers and Bills.

Looking to return in mid-November
Beckham (knee) is aiming to be ready to play in mid-November and hopes to sign with a team shortly before he receives full medical clearance, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: According to Rapoport, Beckham has been cleared for all non-contact work since undergoing surgery Feb. 22 to repair the "clean" ACL tear in his left knee, which is said to be in better condition following the procedure than it was prior to his brief tenure with the Rams last season following his acquisition from the Browns. Since Beckham is about a month away from his target date for being fully cleared for game action, Rapoport suggests that a signing isn't imminent for the wideout. Once the…read more

Remains on Rams' radar
Cameron DaSilva of USA Today suggests with reference to Beckham (knee) that there's mutual interest from both parties about the wideout potentially returning to the Rams.
Analysis: While Beckham's short-term future is clouded by his recovery from a knee injury, he's still evidently on the Rams' radar, a notion confirmed Monday by coach Sean McVay. Though Cooper Kupp and Allen Robinson are entrenched as the team's top two wide receiver options, the team's depth at the position took a hit when it was revealed Monday that Van Jefferson is in line to miss a few weeks due to a looming knee procedure.

Rams optimistic deal can get done
Though Beckham (knee) remains a free agent, Rams COO Kevin Demoff has expressed optimism that the team will be able to re-sign the wideout, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: That said, there's no specific timeline for such a potential deal to get done, with Beckham still recovering from a torn ACL that he suffered in the Super Bowl. With that in mind, it's unclear when the 29-year-old old might be ready for game action, with Rodrigue relaying that previous reports have suggested a possible return to play for the wideout in November. Either way, if Beckham does indeed decide to return to the Rams, whenever he's ready to suit up he'd bolster a wideout corps headed by…read more

Beckham (knee) is expected to return to game action in early November, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Beckham suffered a torn ACL in the Super Bowl and underwent surgery Feb. 23. It's expected that he will return to the field toward the latter portion of a six-to-nine month timeline, lining him up for a return in the middle of the 2022 campaign. It's less certain where Beckham will be playing, as he is set to become an unrestricted free agent once the new league year begins.

ACL surgery completed
Beckham announced Tuesday in a post on his personal Instagram account that he underwent successful surgery to address a torn ACL in his left knee.
Analysis: Beckham required the procedure after suffering a non-contact ACL tear during the Rams' win over the Bengals in Super Bowl LVI on Feb. 13. The timing of the 29-year-old's injury means that he almost certainly won't be ready for the start of the 2022 campaign, and his availability for the entire season could be in question given that he tore the ACL in the same knee in October 2020.

ACL tear feared
Beckham is believed to have suffered a torn ACL in Sunday's Super Bowl win over the Bengals, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: If the torn ACL is confirmed, Beckham will be looking at a lengthy recovery period as the 2022 NFL season approaches. The wideout, who turns 30 on Nov. 5, is eligible to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason, and given the timing of his injury, an early-season absence figures to be in the cards for Beckham, who recorded a 44-537-5 stat line in 14 regular season games (six with Cleveland, eight with Los Angeles) during the 2021 campaign.

The Rams' medical staff hasn't yet revealed the diagnosis for Beckham's non-contact knee injury.

Analysis: Beckham suffered a non-contact injury to his left knee late in the second quarter and was helped to the locker room shortly after.

Analysis: Beckham dropped a pass with just under four minutes remaining in the second quarter and went down clutching his knee. He was able to walk off the field with assistance from the Rams' medical staff, but he was escorted to the locker room after being briefly examined on the sideline. He was productive prior to his departure, securing two of three targets for 52 yards and a touchdown. If Beckham is unable to return, Ben Skowronek should see increased playing time.

Timely effort in title game
Beckham secured nine of 11 targets for 113 yards during the Rams' 20-17 win over the 49ers in their NFC Championship Game matchup Sunday.
Analysis: The midseason acquisition delivered a performance that perfectly encapsulated why the Rams opted to bring him aboard -- even as what may prove to be just a short-term rental -- in their quest for a Super Bowl title. Beckham proved the ideal complement to Cooper Kupp on the afternoon, checking in second to his star position mate in receptions, receiving yards and targets in what was a spectacular effort of his own.

Beckham corralled six of eight targets for 69 yards in Sunday's 30-27 win over Tampa Bay.
Analysis: Matthew Stafford and Cooper Kupp (9-183-1) stole the offensive headlines for the Rams, but Beckham turned in his second consecutive solid playoff performance. The wideout has settled in nicely as the Rams' first option behind Kupp, utilizing his newfound red-zone abilities (six touchdowns over the last nine games) to keep his fantasy value afloat in a reduced role.

Beckham caught all four of his targets for 54 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 34-11 wild-card round win over the Cardinals. He also completed a 40-yard pass.
Analysis: Beckham saw action early on, starting Los Angeles' second series with a 17-yard catch before hauling in a four-yard jump ball in the back corner of the end zone to cap the drive. After setting up a touchdown with a 31-yard gain his next time out, Beckham began the second half by catching a lateral and slinging the ball across the field to Cam Akers for a big gain.

Analysis: This was an uninspiring finish to the campaign for Beckham. He posted a respectable 27 receptions for 305 yards and five touchdowns through eight games after being acquired by the Rams midseason, but two poor outings against San Francisco took a toll on his final numbers.

Analysis: For the second straight week, Beckham barely salvaged his fantasy day with a late touchdown, this time a game-winning catch with just about a minute left in what turned out to be a 20-19 victory for the Rams.

Beckham's longest reception of the day went for 16 yards on a slant over the middle of the field, and he also scored the game-sealing touchdown with 11 minutes remaining in the final quarter when he beat his coverage to the back corner of the end zone.

Beckham (illness) had one reception (three targets) for seven yards in Tuesday's 20-10 win over the Seahawks.
Analysis: Beckham was activated promptly after being placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Dec. 14. It is unclear if the star wideout was limited following his absence, but the end result was poor from a fantasy perspective. Beckham was beginning to roll to the tune a 13-186-3 combined receiving line over the last three weeks, so Tuesday's showing appears to be an outlier.

Extends scoring streak
Beckham caught six of seven targets for 77 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 30-23 win over the Cardinals.
Analysis: Beckham scored Los Angeles' first points by hauling in a two-yard slant to begin the second quarter. That play gave the wideout a touchdown in three straight games, and Beckham continued to produce after his end-zone trip -- his 40-yard gain prior to halftime helped set up a field goal and marked his third consecutive outing with a play of at least 25 yards.

Finds end zone
Beckham caught two passes for 28 yards and one touchdown on five targets against Jacksonville on Sunday.
Analysis: The touchdown helped patch up Beckham's box score for his fantasy investors, but this qualifies as an ineffective game for the talented wideout. Beckham seems to have settled in as the Rams' primary deep threat, or at least that's how it worked against the Jaguars as Van Jefferson, previously the Rams' lead deep threat by default, ran more underneath by catching six passes for 41 yards and a touchdown on eight targets.

Suiting up Sunday
Beckham (hip) is active for Sunday's game versus the Jaguars, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: After a week in which he managed two limited practices due to a posterior hip pointer that he suffered last Sunday in Green Bay, Beckham will suit up for a third time as a member of the Rams. In the first two appearances, he combined for seven catches (on 13 targets) for 99 yards and one touchdown. A fruitful outing could be on tap for Beckham against a Jacksonville defense that has given up 9.1 yards per target (third most in the NFL) to wide receivers this season.

Analysis: Beckham was a limited practice participant Wednesday before sitting out Thursday, but it sounds like he's doing better at the end of the week. He played 98 percent of the Rams' offensive snaps in the Week 12 loss at Green Bay, catching five of 10 targets for 81 yards and a touchdown in his first game in a full-time role with his new team. It is possible the hip pointer impacts Beckham's workload, assuming he ends up playing, though coach Sean McVay isn't exactly known for restricted snap…read more

Availability uncertain for Sunday
Beckham's (hip) status for Sunday's game against the Jaguars is up in the air after he sat out Thursday's practice, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Beckham was limited at Wednesday's practice before sitting out Thursday due to a posterior hip pointer in his lower back, and the absence is apparently more than a precautionary measure. It's not believed to be a major injury for the 29-year-old, but his outlook for this weekend remains in question.

Officially no activity Thursday
Beckham (hip) didn't practice Thursday, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Beckham is tending to what Josina Anderson of USA Today reported as a posterior hip pointer in his lower back following the Rams' Week 12 loss at Green Bay. Consequently, Beckham's practice reps are being managed this week, with Thursday's absence preceded by an estimate of limited on Wednesday's injury report. He seems poised to enter the weekend with a designation, which will be confirmed after Friday's practice.

Not spotted at practice
Beckham (hip) wasn't present at Thursday's practice, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: After logging a limited session Wednesday, Beckham's seeming lack of activity one day later may be maintenance-based as he deals with a hip issue. It was reported to be a "hip pointer" by Rodrigue, but Josina Anderson of USA Today clarified its nature, calling it a posterior hip pointer in his lower back. In essence, it isn't a standard injury, and the Rams, who are without Robert Woods (knee) for the rest of the season, appear to be making sure Beckham is as healthy as possible for a banged-up…read more

Limited by hip injury
Beckham (hip) was limited at Wednesday's walk-through practice, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Beckham injured his hip during his 54-yard touchdown reception early in the fourth quarter of the Rams' eventual loss this past Sunday in Green Bay. Per Josina Anderson of USA Today, what has been termed a hip pointer is accompanied by pain and stiffness. At the very least, though, it's a good sign Beckham got on the field Wednesday, and he'll have two chances Thursday and Friday to log a full session before the Rams potentially give him a designation for ahead of a Week 13 matchup with the…read more

Has hip pointer
Beckham has been diagnosed with a hip pointer in the aftermath of Sunday's loss at Green Bay, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: While coach Sean McVay doesn't expect Beckham to be "limited" as a result of the injury, the wide receiver has a deep bruise that is causing discomfort and stiffness, per Josina Anderson of USA Today. Beckham seemed to hurt himself during a 54-yard touchdown early in the fourth quarter Sunday, but he was targeted three times thereafter. His status thus bears watching as the week goes on to see if he does draw limited listings on injury reports, which the Rams will post Wednesday through Friday…read more

Banged up after Week 12 loss
Beckham underwent scans on his back after Sunday's 36-28 loss to the Packers, but the receiver is still dealing with a deep contusion that is causing pain and stiffness, Josina Anderson of USA Today reports.
Analysis: Beckham appeared to hurt his back in the fourth quarter after reeling in a 54-yard touchdown. The big play accounted for most of Beckham's production on the day, as he finished his second game as a member of the Rams with five receptions for 81 yards on 10 targets. Beckham also played 98 percent of the offensive snaps in the contest, a sign that the Rams are comfortable with his grasp of the playbook after he was on the field for only 28 percent of the snaps in his team debut Week 10 in San…read more

First score with Rams
Beckham recorded five receptions on 10 targets for 81 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 36-28 loss to the Packers.
Analysis: Beckham matched Cooper Kupp for the team lead in targets, delivering on coach Sean McVay's promise that Beckham would get more involved in his second game with the Rams. Beckham recorded a catch on only one of his first four targets of the game, though he showed more rapport with Matthew Stafford as the game went on. The highlight of his performance came on the first play of the fourth quarter, as he got behind the Packers secondary for a 54-yard touchdown -- his first with Los Angeles. With…read more

Should have bigger role Sunday
Rams head coach Sean McVay said Friday that he expects Beckham to have an increased role in Sunday's contest in Green Bay, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: After inking a one-year, $1.25 million contract with the Rams on Nov. 11, Beckham had only three days to prepare for his first game with the team Week 10. The Rams limited Beckham to playing 15 snaps on offense (28 percent) in the team's 31-10 loss to the 49ers, with the wideout finishing with two receptions for 18 yards on three targets. With the benefit of a Week 11 bye plus a full week of practice to get up to speed with his new team's playbook, Beckham should at least double his snap count…read more

Forgettable team debut
Beckham caught two of his three targets for 18 yards during Monday's 31-10 loss to San Francisco. He played just 15 of 55 offensive snaps.
Analysis: After signing with the Rams on Thursday, and the organization hinting he'd be on a pitch count Monday in his debut with the team, it wasn't surprising Beckham had an underwhelming fantasy showing. Los Angeles has a bye this week, though, so the 29-year-old receiver will have extra time to acclimate to the offense ahead of a Week 12 matchup against the Packers. Beckham has a decent shot to climb the depth chart and be quarterback Matthew Stafford's No. 2 pass catcher behind wide receiver Cooper…read more

Beckham is listed as active Monday at San Francisco, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: After the Browns waived him last Monday, Beckham made his new destination known Thursday, choosing the Rams over the Packers. With L.A., he'll have a role right away due to Friday's development in the receiving corps. Robert Woods suffered a torn ACL in practice, which sets up Beckham to be a regular target for Matthew Stafford behind Cooper Kupp and alongside Van Jefferson and Ben Skowronek.

Likely to be limited in team debut
Beckham remains on track to suit up for Monday's game against the 49ers, but he's expected to make his Rams debut in "limited fashion," Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Because Beckham only turned in one practice with his new team after signing a one-year deal Thursday, the Rams aren't eager to overextended him in his first game. That being said, Pelissero adds that Beckham's snap count is likely to grow in coming weeks, especially after the Rams lost fellow wideout Robert Woods (knee) to a season-ending ACL tear in Friday's practice.

The Rams have discussed using Beckham as an occasional punt returner in addition to his duties at receiver when he likely makes his team debut Monday in San Francisco, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Beckham hasn't returned a kickoff or punt since 2019, but the Rams apparently view him as a candidate to contribute on both offense and special teams over the second half of the season. With Los Angeles having lost its primary punt returner (rookie Tutu Atwell) to a season-ending shoulder injury earlier this month, Cooper Kupp has usually acted as the Rams' "safe" punt returner on the occasions the team has wanted to have somebody sure-handed to field kicks deep in its own territory.

He won't be joined by fellow wide receiver Robert Woods, as Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Woods tore his ACL in practice Friday and will miss the remainder of the season.

He actually saw a second target that did not count because the Steelers were whistled for roughing the passer.

Beckham is dealing with a Grade 3 AC joint sprain of his shoulder, but he remains hopeful to make enough progress to be a game-time decision and eventually gain clearance for Thursday's contest against the Broncos, Josina Anderson of USA Today reports.

Analysis: Beckham was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimate, and Stefanski wasn't sure whether the wide receiver would be out there Tuesday, either. With Jarvis Landry (knee) inching closer to being activated from IR -- he has a chance to return Thursday -- the Browns finally may have their top two wide receivers available for the first time since Week 2. Their respective statuses likely will depend on what they're able to do on the field Tuesday and Wednesday.

Projected DNP in practice
The Browns listed Beckham (shoulder) as a non-participant on Monday's estimated practice report, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Analysis: Beckham picked up the shoulder injury at some point during Sunday's 37-14 loss to the Cardinals, with the wideout playing 54 percent of the offensive snaps in the contest and finishing with five receptions for 79 yards on eight targets. Head coach Kevin Stefanski didn't go into much detail regarding the extent of Beckham's injury, and the wideout could be at risk of missing a Thursday night matchup with the Broncos in Week 7.

Nursing shoulder issue
Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said Monday that Beckham is managing a shoulder injury, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Analysis: Beckham briefly left Sunday's loss to the Cardinals, in which he had five catches for 79 yards, but he was able to return to action before long. However, with limited time to rest before Thursday's matchup against the Broncos, Beckham's status will need to be monitored. Quarterback Baker Mayfield (shoulder) said he expects to play Thursday, but Kareem Hunt (calf) is expected to hit IR and Nick Chubb (calf) was unable to go Week 6.

Five grabs in loss
Beckham caught five of eight passes for 79 yards in Sunday's 37-14 loss to the Cardinals.
Analysis: He led the Browns in catches and targets while setting a new season high in receiving yards, although Beckham was overshadowed by a two-TD day for Donovan Peoples-Jones. Beckham left the loss briefly in the first half with a shoulder issue but hauled in three of his catches after he returned, and with Nick Chubb (calf) and Kareem Hunt (calf/wrist/knee) also dealing with injuries, Cleveland could have to rely on Beckham and its passing game a lot more than usual in Week 7 against the Broncos.

Back in Sunday's game
Beckham (shoulder) returned to Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Analysis: The wideout was forced out of the contest in the second quarter, but he was able to return to the field in the third quarter. The Browns play again Thursday, so there's a pretty good chance that Beckham will be listed on the team's Week 7 injury report.

Injures shoulder
Beckham exited Sunday's game against the Cardinals after suffering a shoulder injury, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Analysis: Prior to his second-quarter departure, Beckham caught two of his three targets for 42 yards. Next up for the Browns' wideout snaps in his absence are Donovan Peoples-Jones, Rashard Higgins and Anthony Schwartz.

Nearly invisible in loss
Beckham caught two of three targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 47-42 loss to the Chargers.
Analysis: The wideout simply wasn't a big part of the Cleveland passing game even with Baker Mayfield having his most productive day of the season, as four other Browns -- including Donovan Peoples-Jones and Rashard Higgins -- saw more targets and had more receptions. Beckham has seen his numbers decline every week since he made his season debut in Week 3, raising the question of whether he's fully healthy, but the team might need to get more out of him in Week 6 against the undefeated Cardinals.

Disappoints in Week 4 win
Beckham brought in two of seven targets for 27 yards and rushed once for four yards in the Browns' 14-7 win over the Vikings on Sunday.
Analysis: Beckham's final line would have looked appreciably better had Baker Mayfield hit him on what would have been a likely walk-in 62-yard touchdown, but the duo failed to connect in what has been a fairly frequent trend during their time together. Mayfield had only 15 completions on the day, and Beckham did tie Rashard Higgins for the team lead in targets, so a bit more efficiency overall would have resulted in a serviceable fantasy performance, at minimum.

Upgrades to full practice
Beckham (shoulder) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Analysis: Beckham came out of his 2021 debut in Sunday's win over the Bears with a shoulder injury in tow, and though he was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice as a result, he won't miss any game action as a result of it. More than anything, the fact that Beckham appeared on the injury report because of the shoulder issue rather than due to his surgically-repaired knee should be taken as a reassuring sign about his prospects moving forward.

Beckham was limited at practice Wednesday due to a shoulder injury, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Analysis: In his first contest back from suffering a torn ACL last October, Beckham logged 52 of 81 snaps on offense in the Browns' Week 3 win over the Bears. Afterward, Beckham noted that his shoulder popped out when he took his first hit of the game, according to Anthony Poisal of the Browns' official site. However, Beckham proceeded to play through the shoulder issue, finishing the day with five receptions for 77 yards on nine targets.

Solid effort in season debut
Beckham (knee) secured five of nine targets for 77 yards in the Browns' 26-6 win over the Bears on Sunday. He also rushed once for 10 yards and reportedly temporarily dislocated his shoulder before popping it back in, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Analysis: Playing in his first game since suffering an ACL tear in October of last season, Beckham paced the Browns in receiving yards and targets while also recording a team-high 26-yard grab. Beckham's shoulder issue was clearly not much of a hindrance and is unlikely to be a problem heading into a Week 4 battle against the Vikings on the road. Beckham will draw a highly favorable matchup in that contest and should continue to see heavy volume with Jarvis Landry (IR-knee) out of action.

In his first game action since tearing his ACL last October, Beckham is not expected to be on a a strict snap count Sunday against the Bears, according to Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Analysis: That said, Cabot adds that the Browns will keep an eye on the wideout as Sunday's game progresses to make sure he's not overdoing things, but after a week of practicing fully, Beckham, who underwent knee surgery back on Nov. 10, is poised to make his 2021 season debut.

Analysis: In a Twitter reply to fellow wideout Jarvis Landry (knee), Beckham suggested he would help the Browns hold down the fort while Landry is on injured reserve. Beckham also posted a video on his YouTube channel with an accompanying caption that read, "Back like I never left." With Landry slated to miss at least three weeks, having Beckham back on board would help a wideout unit that had issues in last week's win over the Texans.

Won't play Sunday
Beckham (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against Kansas City, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: The 28-year-old wideout who suffered a torn ACL last October, didn't play in the preseason and has been a limited participant in practice this week, so the Browns have elected to err on the side of caution with him in Week 1. Beckham's status will thus need to be monitored leading up to next weekend's contest versus the Texans.

Analysis: Meanwhile, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network suggests that the wideout is trending toward playing, but he notes that such an outcome hinges on Beckham -- who was limited at practice this past week -- avoiding any pre-game issues.

No final word until Sunday
Coach Kevin Stefanski said he won't provide official word on Beckham's (knee) availability until the Browns release their inactive list 90 minute before Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff in Kansas City, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Analysis: Beckham and former teammate Saquon Barkley are more or less in the same boat, still waiting for official clearance despite nothing but positive signs in recent weeks. In fact, Beckham seems to have stayed ahead of schedule all along, making it back for June minicamp after tearing an ACL in late October last year. While Beckham officially is listed as questionable, it'll be a huge surprise if he isn't out there Sunday afternoon for a highly anticipated matchup with the back-to-back AFC champs.

Analysis: This was the first time all camp that Beckham had defenders in his face during training camp. Until now, he'd been working individually or 1-on-1 with quarterback Baker Mayfield with no defenders. The activity suggests the wide receiver will be ready to go when the Browns open the regular season at Kansas City on Sept. 12.

Analysis: The duo connected on all of the passes -- none were overthrown or behind Beckham -- although the reps did not include a defender. Beckham has been in uniform during training camp but remains out of team drills, so it's incumbent on the receiver and quarterback to establish rhythm apart from the group. It's possible that Beckham does not play in preseason games, so these one-on-one sessions take on great import.

Coming back from an ACL tear, the 28-year-old is well on his way to making a Week 1 appearance against the Chiefs, as he's been practicing in at least a limited capacity since June minicamp.

Analysis: This doesn't necessarily mean he'll be cleared for all activities right away, but it is another positive step forward after Beckham went through drills at June minicamp. He's ahead of the typical rehab timeline for an ACL repair, having undergone surgery Nov. 10 last year.

"So I'll let you guys see that for yourself."
Analysis: Beckham went through drills at June minicamp, seven months removed from surgery to repair a torn ACL. He seems to be ahead of the typical rehab timeline for the injury, but it'll still be no surprise if the Browns limit his workload throughout training camp and preseason.

Analysis: Cabot used the term "freak of nature" when discussing Beckham's quick recovery from Nov. 10 surgery on a torn ACL. The wideout even took part in June minicamp, so while the Browns could still opt for a cautious approach throughout training camp and the preseason, it sounds like Beckham is well on his way to suiting up for Week 1 at Kansas City.

Participating in minicamp
Beckham (knee) is going through receiver drills without an apparent brace in the first day of the Browns' minicamp Tuesday, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: It was believed Beckham had recovered from a torn ACL sustained Oct. 25, and his participation in minicamp backs up that notion. He and Jarvis Landry should be among the better wideout duos in the league heading into 2021 if they can both stay healthy. There figures to be some injury risk with Beckham in particular, as he's played all 16 games in a season just once in the last four years and just twice in his seven-year career.

Looks ready for minicamp
Browns teammate Jarvis Landry said Saturday that he believes Beckham (knee) is fully recovered from the torn ACL he sustained Oct. 25, ESPN.com reports. "Man, he looked amazing," Landry said of Beckham, who took part in Landry's charity softball event over the weekend in Eastlake, Ohio. "I can't wait for you guys to see him. I can't wait for him to get back out there. He's in fantastic shape and he's ready to go. He's only what, six and a half months [beyond surgery], and he's already doing some things that will blow your mind away."
Analysis: Beckham's participation in the softball event shouldn't necessarily be taken as evidence that he's back to 100 percent following surgery on his left knee, but Landry's comments about his fellow wideout more specifically referred to how Beckham looked in workouts hosted by Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield this past week in Austin, Texas.

Browns GM Andrew Berry said Beckham's recovery from knee surgery is going very well, Andrew Gribble of the Browns' official site reports.
Analysis: Beckham tore the ACL in his left knee Oct. 25 and underwent surgery Nov. 10. He'll presumably be held out of practices throughout the offseason program, likely hoping to return at some point during training camp. Ian Rapoport of NFL Network suggested in November that Beckham could be traded, but recent comments from both Berry and the 28-year-old wideout suggest OBJ is part of the Browns' plan for 2021, according to Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Analysis: Beckham likely won't be able to ramp up his rehab process in earnest until early 2021, but barring any setbacks in his recovery from surgery, he'll likely be ready to go for the start of next season.

Analysis: Assuming no unexpected complications with his surgery, Beckham should be at or close to full health by the time training camp begins in 2021.

The Browns placed Beckham (knee) on injured reserve Tuesday.
Analysis: Beckham will be removed from the 53-man roster after an MRI confirmed that he suffered a season-ending ACL tear in his left knee during Sunday's 37-34 win over the Bengals. He'll wrap up his second campaign in Cleveland with four touchdown to go with 23 receptions for 319 yards and 72 rushing yards over his seven games.

Major knee injury feared
There are fears that Beckham suffered a major knee injury Sunday against the Bengals, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Beckham will undergo an MRI on Monday, but early indications regarding his knee injury aren't looking promising. If the wideout is forced to miss extended time, Rashard Higgins and Donovan Peoples-Jones would be in line for added work alongside Jarvis Landry.

Will undergo MRI on knee
Beckham will undergo an MRI on his left knee Monday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Analysis: At a minimum, Beckham's status for the Browns' Week 8 contest against the Raiders will need to be monitored. It's quite possible that he'll need to miss some time, however, and if so, there will be added snaps and targets available for both Rashard Higgins and Donovan Peoples-Jones.

Done for the day
Beckham (knee) won't return to Sunday's game against the Bengals.
Analysis: If Beckham is forced to miss any time beyond Sunday, Rashard Higgins would be in line to see an expanded role in the Browns' passing offense alongside Jarvis Landry. Beckham didn't record a catch prior to exiting Sunday's contest with the left knee injury.

Officially has knee injury
Beckham (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game in Cincinnati, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Analysis: Baker Mayfield looked Beckham's way on the Browns' first play from scrimmage, but the pass was picked off, and the wide receiver injured himself attempting to make a tackle. Beckham clutched his left knee before heading to the locker room, and his ability to return now is up in the air. As long as Beckham is sidelined, Jarvis Landry will serve as Cleveland's No. 1 wideout, while Rashard Higgins and Donovan Peoples-Jones are the only other wide receivers available Sunday.

Beckham (knee) went to the locker room during the first quarter of Sunday's game at Cincinnati, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: On a pass intended for Beckham on the Browns' first play from scrimmage, the Bengals picked off Baker Mayfield, and the wide receiver appeared to get injured while attempting to make a tackle, per Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer. Beckham clutched at his left knee before leaving the field, but the severity of the injury likely won't be known until the Browns make a decision on his ability to return.

Draws softer Week 7 matchup
Beckham's outlook for Sunday's game against the Bengals may have improved after the Bengals ruled top cornerback William Jackson (concussion) out for the Week 7 matchup, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Analysis: Though he didn't shadow Beckham exclusively in the Bengals' Week 2 loss to the Browns, Jackson was still expected to cover the wideout on a majority of his routes Sunday before being ruled out with the head injury. With Mackensie Alexander slated to match up with a banged-up Jarvis Landry (rib) in the slot, Beckham should now run mainly against perimeter corners LeShaun Sims and Darius Phillips, both of whom represent major downgrades from Jackson in coverage, per Pro Football Focus.

Held in check
Beckham recorded two receptions on four targets for 25 yards in Week 6 against the Steelers.
Analysis: Baker Mayfield and Case Keenum combined to throw for 165 yards, limiting all of the Browns' receiving options. As a result, Beckham was hampered by the team's offensive struggles and may have also been feeling the lingering effects of an illness that limited him throughout the week. Prior to this contest, Beckham had proven to have a relatively high floor, commanding at least six targets in every game. Beckham should be in line for a resurgent performance in Week 7 against the Bengals, though…read more

Suiting up for Cleveland
Beckham (illness) is active Week 6 against the Steelers.
Analysis: The Cleveland injury report looked grim at one point this week, but Sunday's official inactive list confirms that Beckham will be suiting up alongside starting quarterback Baker Mayfield (chest) and fellow wideout Jarvis Landry (ribs). It should be business as usual for Beckham, who has had six or more targets come his way in each game this season. He'll be going up against a Pittsburgh secondary that has given up exactly two touchdowns to opposing receivers in three of four games this season.

Analysis: The fact Beckham has now tested negative for COVID-19 on multiple occasions locks in the star wide receiver for a showdown against the division-rival Steelers. It's worth noting Beckham has not practiced at the team's facility since Thursday, but coach Kevin Stefanski dismissed the notion it could drastically affect the wide receiver's factor in the game plan.

Tests negative but remains at home
Beckham (illness) tested negative for COVID-19 but won't return to the team facility Friday due to the virus-related protocols, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Analysis: The 27-year-old was sent home by the Browns due to an illness on Thursday, but he can't return to the facility Friday due to the protocols that are in place, even with the negative test. Beckham's status for Sunday's matchup with the Steelers should receive additional clarity when the team releases its official injury report later in the day, but the illness plus his lack of practice to finish the week likely means he'll at least receive the questionable tag.

Makes five catches vs. Colts
Beckham caught five of nine targets for 58 yards and lost a yard on his lone carry during Sunday's 32-23 win over the Colts.
Analysis: Beckham tied for the team lead in catches but averaged just 11.6 yards per grab and did little of note outside his long gain of 26 yards. Fantasy owners were likely disappointed after his three-touchdown performance from a week ago, but big games have been hard to come by for Beckham since he joined the Browns. Although next Sunday's matchup against the Steelers looks tough on paper, Pittsburgh did allow a less-talented Eagles offense to score 29 points this week, leaving the door open for…read more

Beckham (toe) was a full participant at Friday's practice and won't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Colts, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Analysis: Beckham was limited in the Browns' first two practices of the week, but his ability to take every rep in Friday's session clears the way for him to suit up versus Indianapolis. He'll be looking to build on his best outing of the season in Week 4, when he torched the Cowboys for three touchdowns while racking up 81 yards as a receiver and 73 yards on the ground.

He played 58 of the team's 75 offensive snaps, catching five of his eight targets for 81 yards and two scores while also rushing two times for 73 yards and another touchdown. The fact that Beckham was on the field in some capacity Wednesday is a good sign that the injury won't prevent him from playing Sunday against the Colts.

Scores three TDs vs. Cowboys
Beckham caught five of eight targets for 81 yards and two touchdowns Sunday against the Cowboys. He also carried two times for 73 yards and another score in the 49-38 win.
Analysis: Beckham caught a long touchdown pass from Jarvis Landry in the first quarter and hauled in a four-yard strike from Baker Mayfield in the second. Perhaps his best highlight of the day came on a 50-yard touchdown run in the final minutes after Dallas had nearly climbed out of a massive hole. Beckham had been relatively quiet through the first three games with one touchdown and just 11 catches to his name, so this offensive outburst was a positive sign for his fantasy value moving forward.

Practicing Friday
Beckham (back) is participating in the early portion of Friday's practice open to the media, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Analysis: Beckham was limited in Thursday's practice due to a back issue, so it'll be worth monitoring whether he's able to upgrade to full participation when the Browns' final injury report of the week is released Friday afternoon. As long as he's able to suit up against the high-flying Cowboys offense Sunday, Beckham could be in line to benefit from a positive game script that forces more downfield looks.

Beckham was added to the Browns' Week 4 injury report after being limited by a back issue Thursday, Jake Trotter of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Any mid-week addition to the injury report is notable, but at this stage it's unclear if Beckham is simply managing a minor issue or if he suffered an injury during Thursday's practice. What he's able to do on the field Friday will thus determine which injury designation he'll be tagged with in advance of Sunday's game against the Cowboys.

Has impact in win
Cleveland head coach Kevin Stefanski doled out praise to Beckham, whose four catches during Sunday's win over Washington went for first downs, Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. "Four catches, four huge plays, four first downs, which was very big for us,'' Stefanski said.
Analysis: Beckham came up big on a 3rd-and-12, snaring a pass for 15 yards and a first down to keep what turned out to be the Browns' game-winning drive alive. Beckham has 22 targets through three games compared to the 30 he had after three games in 2019. That will be the nature of the offense, which will rely on the ground game when it can dictate the terms of a game. That means fewer opportunities for Beckham, who has learned to accept the new offense and adjusted his goals accordingly, per an earlier…read more

Four receptions
Beckham recorded four receptions on six targets for 59 yards in Week 3 against Washington.
Analysis: Beckham failed to follow up his big Week 2 performance, though he still led the team in targets and yards. He was largely held back by the team's offensive philosophy as Baker Mayfield attempted only 23 pass attempts for 156 yards. Accruing only 16 targets in the first three games, it appears Beckham will be reliant upon touchdowns and big plays to produce this season.

No trade in works
The Browns have had no plans or discussions about trading Beckham this season, a source familiar with the situation tells Adam Schefter of ESPN. "It's totally not true," the source said. "No idea where anyone would have gotten that."
Analysis: After Beckham managed three receptions for 22 yards on 10 targets in the Browns' blowout loss to the Ravens in Week 1, outside speculation mounted about Cleveland potentially looking to move the wideout elsewhere, but there apparently wasn't any truth to those rumors.

Gets into end zone Week 2
Beckham brought in four of six targets for 74 yards and a touchdown in the Browns' 35-30 win over the Bengals on Thursday.
Analysis: Beckham led the Browns in receptions, receiving yardage and targets on his way to an appreciably better performance than his Week 1 dud, where he mustered just a 30.0 percent catch rate on 10 targets. The highlight of the former Pro Bowler's night came on a 43-yard touchdown grab that initially bounced off Beckham's facemask before landing in his hands for the score. While the final line wasn't spectacular by the veteran's past standards, it's certainly one that offers fantasy managers some…read more

Highly inefficient in Week 1 loss
Beckham secured three of 10 targets for 32 yards in the Browns' 38-6 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.
Analysis: Despite comfortably pacing either club in looks, Beckham produced a disappointing performance to kick off his second Browns campaign. The multi-time Pro Bowler is reportedly free of the assortment of injuries that limited him last season, but in terms of his first opportunity to corroborate his return to full health, Beckham produced a dud that was reminiscent of some of his underwhelming 2019 showings.

"It was a heck of a play by Odell," offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt said. "We are going to give Odell and those receivers as many chances.

Deemed healthy
Coach Kevin Stefanski says Beckham (abdomen) is fully recovered from offseason surgery, Andrew Gribble of the Browns' official site reports.
Analysis: Beckham played through a sports hernia injury all of last season, suiting up for every game but producing a career-low 64.7 yards per contest. It sounds like he'll be ready to practice whenever the Browns are able to start training camp, while fellow wide receiver Jarvis Landry is facing a longer timeline in his rehab from February hip surgery. Beckham is a good bet to rebound in 2020, though his history of lower-body injuries suggests it may be a challenge to play all 16 games again.

Browns wide receivers coach Chad O'Shea relayed Wednesday that Beckham (abdomen) has made "a lot of progress" in his recovery from January surgeries but is unsure where the wide receiver will be at the start of training camp, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Analysis: Despite playing all 16 games last season, Beckham was hamstrung by a sports hernia from the third week of training camp onward, eventually finishing with 74 catches (on 133 targets) for 1,035 yards and four touchdowns. While those numbers are fair enough at first glance, he averaged a career-worst 64.7 yards per game.

Wants to play final two weeks
Beckham may need surgery for a sports hernia after the season, but he hopes to play Week 16 against the Ravens and Week 17 against the Bengals, Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. "It's a decision we'll find out when the time comes, but as long as 80 (Jarvis Landry) is on the field, as long as these boys are out here, I'm going to go out there and give my all,'' Beckham said. "I love football way too much to think about sitting out and doing all of these things."
Analysis: With the Browns eliminated from playoff contention after Sunday's 38-24 loss to Arizona, there might be some consideration given to shutting Beckham down for the year. His quote does leave the door open for that scenario, but it sounds like he prefers to play the final two games. Beckham caught eight passes for 66 yards on a season-high 13 targets in the Week 15 loss, with a dropped deep ball potentially costing him what could've been his first 100-yard game since Oct. 13.

Makes eight grabs versus Cardinals
Beckham caught eight of 13 targets for 66 yards in Sunday's 38-24 loss to the Cardinals.
Analysis: Beckham led the Browns in all major receiving categories, with his reception and target tallies both marking season highs. Although Beckham's increased volume didn't come with much efficiency -- his 8.3 yards per catch was a season low -- the wideout at least was a focal point Sunday. That involvement helped him turn in his best performance in weeks, but next Sunday's matchup against the stacked Ravens secondary could be less fruitful for Beckham's fantasy owners.

Good to go Sunday
Beckham (groin) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
Analysis: Beckham's groin issue -- which reports over the weekend suggested is a sports hernia that will require offseason surgery -- limited his participation in practices Wednesday through Friday, but the Browns never indicated the injury jeopardized his status for Week 15. The 27-year-old should be in line to start and handle big snap counts over the final three games even if his practice reps continue to remain capped, but at this point, teammate Jarvis Landry looks to have supplanted him as the…read more

Limited to begin week
Beckham (groin) is participating in Wednesday's practice on a limited basis, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Analysis: Per Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer, Beckham acknowledged over the weekend that he may require surgery during the offseason to address what's believed to be a sports hernia, though the wideout is expected to continue playing through the issue. That said, the Browns will likely restrict Beckham's workload in practices the rest of the season, as has already been the case since late November. Beckham has been able to handle full snap loads on game days throughout the campaign, but he…read more

Won't sit down the stretch
Coach Freddie Kitchens said Monday that the Browns haven't considered shutting Beckham down for the season, Jake Trotter of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Beckham has been regularly included on Browns injury reports since late October due to a groin issue that initially arose in training camp. His production has been subpar for his standards, with a 30-408-1 line on 54 targets in seven games since the team's Week 7 bye. On Sunday morning, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported Beckham will require sports hernia surgery in the offseason. However, the wide receiver downplayed the situation after the Browns' Week 14 win against the Bengals, per Mary…read more

Makes two catches vs. Bengals
Beckham caught two of five targets for 39 yards during Sunday's 27-19 win over the Bengals.
Analysis: Beckham finished second on the team in targets and made a couple of nice gains, but he otherwise struggled to connect with Baker Mayfield yet again. It was reported during the week that he's been playing through a sports hernia, adding yet another dimension to what has been an underwhelming season. Beckham has caught just five of 11 targets for 68 yards combined over his last two games and will look to get back on track next Sunday in a favorable matchup against the Cardinals.

Needs surgery after season
Beckham has been playing through a painful sports hernia injury that will necessitate offseason surgery, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Though Beckham hasn't missed a game this season, he's been listed on the injury report ahead of all 13 of the Browns' games to date, though he won't carry a designation into Sunday's game against the Bengals. For the first six weeks, Beckham was listed with a hip injury, and he's been practicing mostly on a limited basis since Week 8 due to a groin issue. Both hip and groin injuries are commonly associated with sports hernias, supporting the notion that he'll need an offseason procedure to…read more

Set to play Week 14
Beckham (groin) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Analysis: For the third consecutive week, the Browns placed a cap on Beckham's practice reps due to a lingering groin injury. That said, it won't impact his ability to suit up on game day as he takes on a Cincinnati defense that has allowed a whopping 9.7 yards per target and nine touchdowns to wide receivers in 12 outings this season.

Limited participant in practice
Beckham (groin) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Analysis: Just like the previous two weeks, Beckham had his reps capped Wednesday and Thursday on account of the lingering groin issue, but there isn't any real concern about the wideout's availability for game day. While there probably won't be much drama with regard to Beckham's status for Sunday's game against the Bengals, he started a small media firestorm Thursday, when he was non-committal when asked if he wanted to return to the Browns in 2020, according to Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain…read more

Logs limited practice
Beckham (groin) was listed as a limited practice participant Wednesday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Analysis: As has been the case the last couple of weeks, Beckham's practice reps were managed Wednesday, but he should be fine for Sunday's game against Cincinnati. Beckham will look to bounce back from a three-catch, 29-yard effort in the Week 13 loss to the Steelers when he and the Browns take on a vulnerable Bengals defense. While there's little doubt about the wideout's status for Sunday's contest, quarterback Baker Mayfield is dealing with a hand injury that has thus far prevented him from throwing…read more

Limited to 29 yards
Beckham caught three of six targets for 29 yards during Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Steelers.
Analysis: Pittsburgh's defense kept Beckham in check Sunday for his third game of less than 30 yards this season, his first since Week 5. Beckham had been improving in production in recent weeks with at least 80 receiving yards in three of his last six games. That isn't bad, but probably not what Cleveland had in mind when the team acquired the star receiver in an offseason blockbuster. He'll have an opportunity to correct course Sunday against the one-win Bengals.

No designation for Week 13
Beckham (groin) won't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Steelers after turning in a limited showing in practice Friday, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Analysis: Beckham wasn't able to advance to full participation in practice at any point Wednesday through Friday, but the fact that he enters the weekend minus an injury designation implies the Browns are reasonably comfortable with his health. The star wideout finally broke through for his first touchdown reception in eight games in last week's win over the Dolphins, but he may have a tougher time keeping the momentum going against Pittsburgh's eighth-ranked pass defense (217.2 yards allowed per game).

Logs limited practice
Beckham (groin) was limited at Wednesday's practice, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Analysis: Beckham was also limited at practice last week before approaching Sunday's win over the Dolphins minus an injury designation. With no reported setbacks coming out the contest, the wideout should be ready to go when this weekend's matchup with the Steelers arrives. In the Browns' victory over Pittsburgh in Week 11, Beckham caught four of 10 targets for 60 yards.

Finds end zone in win over Dolphins
Beckham caught six of eight targets for 84 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 41-24 win over the Dolphins.
Analysis: Beckham helped his team get off to a fast start with a beautiful 35-yard touchdown catch in the first quarter. He was limited mostly to short gains on his other receptions but still did enough to come away with his fourth-best receiving output of the season. Beckham's touchdown was also his first since Week 2, and he'll look to build on this effort next Sunday against the Steelers.

Ready for Week 12
Beckham (groin) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Analysis: Limited in practice by a groin injury this week, Beckham nonetheless will be available for the Browns' Week 12 tilt. He'll be looking to take advantage of a Miami defense that has surrendered 8.7 yards per target and 16 touchdowns to wide receivers in 10 games this season.

The 27-year-old should have a great opportunity to break his eight-game scoreless streak this weekend against a 20th-ranked Dolphins pass defense (246 yards allowed per game) that will be breaking in two new starters at safety after Bobby McCain (shoulder) and Reshad Jones (undisclosed) were placed on injured reserve…read more

Beckham was limited in Wednesday's practice due to a groin injury, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Analysis: Beckham previously dealt with a groin issue in late October, but he managed to play through that injury without missing any time. Jarvis Landry (hip) was also limited Wednesday, but there's not yet any reason to believe that either wideout is in danger of missing Sunday's matchup with the Dolphins.

Four-catch night in win
Beckham hauled in four of 10 targets for 60 yards in the Browns' 21-7 win over the Steelers on Thursday.
Analysis: Beckham led the Browns in receiving yardage on the night with his relatively modest tally. The star wideout's catch total was actually his lowest since a disastrous loss to the 49ers in Week 5, and his yardage tally ranked as his second highest over the last four contests. Beckham continues to fall well below preseason expectations, but a combination of erratic play from quarterback Baker Mayfield and questionable offensive schemes has had a significant part to play in his struggles.

Makes five catches vs. Bills
Beckham caught five of 12 targets for 57 yards during Sunday's 19-16 win over the Bills.
Analysis: Although Beckham's dozen targets set a new season high, he only hauled in 42 percent of the balls thrown his way. He didn't generate a play longer than 16 yards as he drew plenty of attention from a skilled Buffalo secondary. Meanwhile, Jarvis Landry had another productive game and Kareem Hunt was a notable factor in the passing game, so perhaps opposing defenses won't be able to key in quite as much on Beckham moving forward. He will look to make a greater impact Thursday against the Steelers.

Leads team in receiving yards
Beckham caught five of six targets for a team-high 87 yards in Sunday's 24-19 loss to the Broncos.
Analysis: After a quiet first half, Beckham may some big runs after the catch in the fourth quarter as the Browns tried to mount a comeback, but it was the target he didn't get that will linger -- on a fourth down in Denver territory, Beckham seemed to have Chris Harris beat down the sideline for what might have been the go-ahead TD, only for Baker Mayfield to instead try to squeeze the ball in to Jarvis Landry over the middle and have it fall incomplete. Through eight games, Beckham is on pace for his…read more

Cleared for Week 9
Beckham (groin) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Analysis: As was the case Wednesday and Thursday, Beckham remained a limited participant in practice Friday while nursing the groin injury, but the Browns apparently were satisfied enough with his health to clear him to play this weekend. He'll look to put an end to a five-game streak without a touchdown while he takes aim at the Broncos' fourth-ranked pass defense.
