Moving on from Dolphins
The Dolphins and Beckham have mutually agreed to part ways, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports.
Analysis: Per Pelissero, Beckham, who recorded just nine catches (on 18 targets) for 55 yards in nine games with Miami this season, is hoping for more opportunities elsewhere and thus is slated to be waived by the Dolphins. If Beckham clears waivers, he'll be free to sign with any team seeking experienced wideout depth for the NFL stretch run.

Secures lone target versus New York
Beckham secured his only target for a one-yard gain during Sunday's 32-26 overtime win over the Jets.
Analysis: Beckham did little on offense, as usual, while splitting No. 3 reps with rookie sixth-round pick Malik Washington. The 32-year-old has now failed to reach 20 receiving yards in a single game across nine appearances this season, and he's logged just two catches over the last three weeks. Beckham hasn't demonstrated anything resembling a reliable floor heading into a Week 15 road matchup against the Texans.

Secures one of two targets in loss
Beckham hauled in one of two targets for nine yards during Thursday's 30-17 loss to the Packers.
Analysis: Beckham was less involved on offense Thursday than rookie Malik Washington, who himself brought in two of four targets for just eight yards. Still, the No. 3 receiver role behind Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle isn't a particularly valuable one, especially with tight end Jonnu Smith having emerged as a consistent target option for QB Tua Tagovailoa. Beckham has yet to score or reach 20 yards in a single game this year, so he can safely be left off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 14 game…read more

Held without a catch Week 12
Beckham failed to secure any of his three targets during Sunday's 34-15 win over the Patriots.
Analysis: Beckham continues to split No. 3 receiver reps with rookie Malik Washington, who himself brought in one of two targets for one yard versus New England. Across seven appearances, the veteran wideout has compiled just seven grabs for 45 yards on 15 total targets, middling enough production that he remains off the fantasy radar heading into a road matchup against the Packers on Thanksgiving.

Two grabs in win
Beckham caught two of four targets for 13 yards in Sunday's 34-19 win over the Raiders.
Analysis: After seeing his highest snap share (32 percent) of the season in Week 10, Beckham played just 24 percent of Miami's offensive snaps against the Raiders on Sunday. The veteran wideout's 13 receiving yards were his lowest in a contest in which he has recorded a catch. In the six games he's played, Beckham has totaled just seven catches for 45 yards. With such little volume in the Dolphins' passing attack, Beckham can be ignored for fantasy purposes heading into a Week 12 matchup with the…read more

Plays largest snap share of season
Beckham secured both of his targets for 17 yards during Miami's 23-15 win over the Rams on Monday.
Analysis: Beckham played 32 percent of offensive snaps on Monday Night Football, his highest share of the 2024 campaign, but drew one less target than he did in Week 9 versus Buffalo. Notably, Beckham's involvement didn't come at the expense of rookie Malik Washington, as both hovered around a similar snap total while rotating in for No. 3 receiver reps behind Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle. Beckham will look to continue ramping up his involvement in Week 11 versus the Raiders.

Logs first catches of the season
Beckham secured all three of his targets for 15 yards during Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Bills.
Analysis: It took Beckham four games to record his first catches in a Dolphins uniform, but the veteran wideout managed to make an impact on offense during Miami's narrow divisional defeat Sunday. He continues to play less than 20 percent of offensive snaps, however, meaning Beckham's target share may not remain consistent heading into a road matchup against the Rams on Monday Night Football. Malik Washington now has gone back-to-back games without a target, but he's consistently played roughly twice the…read more

Held without a catch again
Beckham was not targeted during Sunday's 28-27 loss to the Cardinals.
Analysis: Beckham has now failed to log a single catch through three appearances in a Dolphins uniform, and in his first appearance with Tua Tagovailoa back under center the veteran wideout didn't even draw a target. Rookie sixth-round pick Malik Washington, who also wasn't targeted versus Arizona, played 16 offensive snaps while Beckham played just 11. A tough Week 9 matchup against the Bills won't do Beckham any favors.

Invisible in Week 7 loss
Beckham failed to secure either of his two targets during Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Colts.
Analysis: Beckham was unable to get more involved in Miami's offense despite coming off a bye, with both Tyler Huntley (shoulder) and Tim Boyle proving unable to adequately command head coach Mike McDaniel's offense even against a vulnerable Indianapolis secondary. Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) will be eligible to come off IR as early as Week 8 versus Arizona, and while his return could provide a glimmer of hope for Beckham's prospects, the Dolphins haven't yet given official word on when the franchise…read more

Set to face Colts
Beckham (hamstring/personal) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Colts.
Analysis: After being added to the Dolphins' injury report Friday, when he was absent from practice due to a combination of a hamstring injury and a personal matter, Beckham approached the contest listed as questionable. With his active status confirmed, the veteran wideout -- who didn't catch his only target in his season debut against the Patriots in Week 5 -- will provide depth behind Miami's top pass-catching duo of Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, but Beckham will need to turn in a full and productive…read more

Questionable after Friday's DNP
Beckham (hamstring/personal) didn't practice Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts, Chris Perkins of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Analysis: Beckham was seemingly on track to make his second appearance for the Dolphins prior to popping up on the injury report Friday. His status for Sunday's game carries much less fantasy importance than it would have a few years ago, as the nearly 32-year-old wideout is well past his prime. Beckham failed to catch his only target in his Dolphins debut against the Patriots in Week 5.

Beckham (knee) is listed as active Sunday at New England.
Analysis: Beckham joined the Dolphins on May 3, but his debut with the team was delayed to start the season as he continued his recovery from an offseason procedure. The specific body part was clarified to be his knee once the team designated him for return this past week, and he proceeded to put together three straight full practices before the team listed him as questionable for Week 5 action.

Set to play Sunday
Beckham (knee), who was activated off the reserve/PUP list Saturday, is listed as questionable but is slated to make his season debut Sunday against the Patriots, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Beckham is more of a big name than a fantasy factor at this point in his career, and even if he does still have some juice left in him, Miami's moribund passing attack without Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) will make it difficult to rely on him to deliver useful numbers.

Beckham (knee), who remains on the reserve/PUP list, is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest in New England.
Analysis: Since joining the Dolphins on May 3, Beckham kicked off training camp on the active/PUP list due to an undisclosed reason before officially getting moved to reserve/PUP on Aug. 27. The transaction meant the veteran wide receiver must miss at least the first four games of the season, and GM Chris Grier revealed on Aug. 28 that Beckham was recovering for an offseason procedure.

Analysis: Welker said, "in some of the routes on air, he looks like the [Beckham] we've seen." The veteran wideout missed Miami's first four-regular season games while on the PUP list, and while it looks like he's set for another full practice Thursday, the Dolphins haven't yet indicated whether Beckham is expected to be available Sunday versus the Patriots.

In any case, Beckham's return to practice suggests that khe could be back in action as soon as this Sunday at New England.

Set to have practice window opened
Head coach Mike McDaniel told reporters Tuesday that Beckham (undisclosed) will have his 21-day practice window opened this week, per NFL.com.
Analysis: Beckham began the season on the PUP list due to an undisclosed injury, but it appears the 31-year-old wide receiver's return to practice is imminent. Once fully healthy, Beckham will have an opportunity to claim the No. 3 wide receiver role right off the bat behind Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle. Across 14 regular-season games for the Ravens last season, Beckham posted 35 catches (on 64 targets) for 565 yards and three touchdowns.

Beckham, who is bouncing back from an unspecified offseason procedure, is on track to have his 21-day practice window opened this coming week, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: That said, while Beckham (who is on the PUP list) appears to be trending toward a return to practice, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero notes that things remain fluid in terms of the wideout's status and his return timeline has yet to be determined. Once he's deemed ready to rejoin Miami's lineup, Beckham will have an opportunity to claim a key complementary role behind top WRs Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle.

Making progress in recovery
Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said Tuesday he's seen "good progress" from Beckham (undisclosed), adding that he feels optimistic the veteran wide receiver will be ready to practice when eligible after Week 4, Alain Poupart of SI.com reports.
Analysis: McDaniel said Beckham has avoided any setbacks in his recovery, per Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network. The veteran receiver won't be eligible to come off the reserve/PUP list until Week 5 at the earliest, and his return could still take longer than that if a ramp-up period at practice is needed. Due to his recovery from an unspecified offseason surgery, Beckham was unable to participate in practice throughout all of training camp and the preseason.

Recovering from offseason surgery

Analysis: Miami has been dodgy about the details of Beckham's undisclosed injury all offseason, though Grier again stated that the team was aware of the issue when signing the veteran wideout. As a result of starting the season on the PUP list, Beckham's first opportunity to take the field will come Week 5 versus the Patriots on Oct. 6. He didn't practice in any capacity during training camp.

Coach Mike McDaniel said after Friday's preseason loss at Tampa Bay that the Dolphins hope Beckham (undisclosed) will be able to practice before Week 1, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports.
Analysis: After signing a one-year deal with Miami in May, Beckham spent the entirety of training camp and exhibition season on the active/PUP list due to an unknown injury. Considering McDaniel's comment Friday, the team could make it clear that Beckham is closing in on full health by removing him from PUP, but he ultimately won't be able to join his teammates in drills until such a move is made.

Analysis: Beckham still has yet to practice three weeks into training camp, and the Dolphins seem to be considering him week-to-week due to an undisclosed issue. There's hope that Beckham will provide a boost in the passing game and finally give Miami a reliable No. 3 receiver behind Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle (undisclosed), but the veteran will first need to get healthy and up to speed in a new offense.

Beckham (undisclosed) is set to be placed on the Dolphins' active/PUP list, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Per Pelissero, Beckham is reportedly "working through minor things and this is part of the plan for easing (the wideout) back into football." Once he is able to return to practice, he'll look to solidify his standing as the Dolphins' No. 3 WR behind Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle. In that role, Beckham may not have a path to steady volume, but if either Hill or Waddle are forced to miss time, the 31-year-old's profile in Miami's passing attack could expand.

Beckham signed a one-year, $15 million deal with Baltimore last offseason, and while his numbers were solid on a per-route and per-target basis, he never reached even 60 percent snap share after Week 1.

Dolphins general manager Chris Grier said Tuesday that there's "nothing imminent" on a deal between Beckham and the team, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Beckham was reportedly extended a contract offer by Miami after visiting with the team back in March, but it doesn't appear that a signing is around the corner. The 31-year-old is coming off a forgettable 14-game season with the Ravens in which he put up a 35-565-3 receiving line, but he could find more success as a No. 3 option behind Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle. It could be that Beckham will need to wait until after the dust of the 2024 NFL Draft has settled to find a landing spot.

Says goodbye to Baltimore
Beckham posted a goodbye message to Baltimore and Ravens fans on Instagram this Sunday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The implication is that Beckham will find a new team rather than re-sign with the Ravens. He was reasonably productive on a per-snap basis in his one year with the team -- his 2.03 yards per route ranked 26th among WRs with at least 200 routes -- but he never reached 60 percent snap share in a game after Week 1 and had only 34 yards in two playoff appearances. The 31-year-old may end up in a part-time role again in 2024, though it's also possible a new team would see if he can hold up to a…read more

Released by Ravens
The Ravens released Beckham on Wednesday, Ryan Mink of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Beckham signed a one-year, $15 million contract last offseason, with void years tacked on to push the cap hit to 2024. He then renegotiated this winter to allow the Ravens to designate him as a post-June 1 release and spread the dead cap charge between 2024 and 2025. That also means Beckham won't factor into the compensatory pick formula, as he technically was released rather than having his contract expire. The 31-year-old caught 35 passes for 565 yards and three TDs in 2023, rotating with…read more

Wanted back in Baltimore
Coach John Harbaugh and GM Eric DeCosta both suggested this week that they'd like Beckham to re-sign with the Ravens, Clifton Brown and Ryan Mink of the team's official website report. "[Beckham]'s become a great friend of mine and a friend to the Ravens," DeCosta said Tuesday. "I think we'll just kind of assess and see what happens over the next couple of weeks."
Analysis: Beckham presumably would have to accept a major pay cut after signing a one-year, $15 million contract last offseason. He made some big plays but was never a full-time player after the first few games, ultimately finishing with 35 catches for 565 yards and three TDs in the regular season.

Analysis: Beckham didn't get on the stat sheet until the fourth quarter, recording his first catch with 8:47 remaining in the contest. The veteran wideout was third in receptions and targets on the afternoon for Baltimore, but his underwhelming numbers were representative of the type of afternoon it was for anyone not named Zay Flowers in the Ravens' air attack.

Makes one big catch
Beckham caught one pass for 33 yards on one target in Sunday's 56-19 win over the Dolphins.
Analysis: Like most weeks, Beckham was in and out of the lineup while appearing nicked up at times, but his one catch was a major contribution while the game was still competitive. It's possible Beckham would have played more in the second half if the game had been closer. Beckham remains the top downfield threat for the Ravens, but his inconsistent availability makes it difficult to scale up his otherwise explosive per-snap production.

Beckham caught two of three targets for 13 yards in Monday's 33-19 win over the 49ers.
Analysis: Beckham was targeted three times for the second straight week and failed to reach 15 yards in either contest. The veteran wideout played 54 percent of the Ravens' offensive snaps Monday, continuing a streak of three games in which he has played more than half of the team's snaps. Beckham's increased playing time is a promising sign, and he could be asked to be more involved in Week 17, when the Ravens host the Dolphins in what could be a shootout.

Takes full reps in practice
Beckham (illness) was a full participant in Friday's practice.
Analysis: Beckham was given the day off Thursday while recovering from the illness, but his return to the field a day later without any restrictions clears the way for him to play Monday in San Francisco. Zay Flowers (foot) was also a full practice participant Friday after being limited Thursday, so Baltimore's receiving corps should be at full strength for Week 16 with the exception of Devin Duvernay (back), who remains on injured reserve and will miss the rest of the regular season.

Beckham didn't practice Thursday due to an illness.
Analysis: Beckham now has two more chances to practice ahead of Monday's game against the 49ers.

Muted outing in Jacksonville
Beckham caught one of three targets for 14 yards in Sunday's win over the Jaguars.
Analysis: The Ravens mustered just 171 yards through the air and attempted just 24 passes, so the opportunities were rather limited for Baltimore's pass catchers. If there's a silver lining, it's that Beckham played his highest snap share since Week 7 and his highest snap count since Week 1, which suggests he's getting closer to 100 percent after playing through bumps and bruises earlier in the season. Beckham is up to 32 catches for 519 yards and three touchdowns on 60 targets this season, and he has a…read more

Analysis: Beckham tied for the team lead in targets with Zay Flowers, though he led the way in yardage thanks to several big plays. The most notable was a 46-yard touchdown reception early in the second quarter, when Beckham split a double team down the sideline before adjusting to an underthrown ball and rolling into the end zone. He also tacked on lengthy receptions of 20 and 17 yards and fell just short of reaching the century mark for the second time in his last three games. Nevertheless, Beckham has…read more

Cools off with three catches on SNF
Beckham (shoulder) had three receptions on five targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 20-10 win over the Chargers.
Analysis: Beckham was listed as questionable for this contest due to a shoulder injury, but his status wasn't truly in question after logging limited practice sessions during the week. The 31-year-old did see his production tail off following his recent hot streak in which he posted 212 yards and two touchdowns over a three-game stretch. Beckham will look to get back to that level of play when the Ravens return from a Week 13 bye to face the Rams on Dec. 10.

Slated to face Chargers
Beckham (shoulder) is listed as active for Sunday night's game against the Chargers.
Analysis: As the contest approached, both Beckham -- who practiced fully Friday -- and Zay Flowers (hip) were listed as questionable, but both players will give it a go Sunday. Assuming no in-game setbacks or limitations due to his left shoulder issue, Beckham will have an opportunity to be a key cog in a Baltimore pass-catching corps that is coping with the extended absence of star TE Mark Andrews, who is on IR due to an ankle injury. In the Ravens' Week 11 win over the Bengals, Beckham recorded four…read more

Expected to take on Chargers
Beckham (shoulder) is expected to suit up for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Beckham is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game, but he practiced fully Friday and should be ready to take the field. His status will be made official when the Ravens release their inactive list 90 minutes ahead of Sunday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff, but having Beckham available would be a notable boon for a passing game already working without star tight end Mark Andrews (ankle).

Listed as questionable
Beckham (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at the Chargers despite upgrading to full practice participation Friday.
Analysis: The same goes for WR Zay Flowers, who told reporters his hip injury isn't a real threat to his availability Sunday night. Beckham acknowledged his own shoulder injury is more of a concern, calling himself a game-time decision, though he was optimistic about ultimately playing and now has closed out the week with a full practice. The Ravens will need more from their wide receivers in general, including Sunday night, after losing TE Mark Andrews to a season-ending leg injury. Nelson Agholor and…read more

Beckham (shoulder) was listed as a limited participant in practice Thursday.
Analysis: Beckham didn't practice Wednesday, but his listed return to practice a day later -- albeit in a limited fashion -- bodes well for his chances of playing Sunday night against the Chargers. Friday's injury report will reveal whether the veteran wideout heads into the weekend with an injury designation, with his Week 12 availability potentially gaining added import if Zay Flowers (hip/DNP on Thursday) is limited or out this weekend.

Analysis: Beckham's absence comes as no surprise after he was injured at the end of a 51-yard reception in the fourth quarter of last Thursday's 34-20 win over Cincinnati. The Ravens have managed Beckham's practice workloads even when he's been in no danger of missing a game, and head coach John Harbaugh said Monday that the wideout's shoulder issue is "not going to be a long-term thing," per Ryan Mink of the Ravens' official site.

Injury not serious
Beckham (shoulder) avoided a serious injury in Thursday's 34-20 win over the Bengals, Cordell Woodland of 105.7 The Fan Baltimore reports.
Analysis: Beckham suffered the injury in the final moments of the game, landing hard on a tackle following a long gain. He ended the contest with four receptions for 116 yards, his best production as a Raven. It appears Beckham will have the chance to play in Week 12 against the Chargers, particularly given that he has a few extra days to recover.

Suffers shoulder injury
Beckham is questionable to return to Thursday's game against the Bengals due to a shoulder injury, Jonas Shaffer of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.
Analysis: Beckham made a long catch late in the fourth quarter and suffered the injury on a hard tackle. With the Ravens in a comfortable position to earn the win, it's unlikely Beckham will retake the field after posting four receptions for 116 yards. The severity of the issue is unclear, though he'll have a long week to recover before Baltimore's Week 12 matchup against the Chargers.

Beckham (knee) isn't listed on the final injury report for Thursday's game against the Bengals.
Analysis: Beckham was held out of Tuesday's practice with a sore knee after playing a season-low 30 percent of snaps in Sunday's 33-30 loss to the Browns, though the Ravens also attributed rest to his absence. He took his lone catch in the game for a 40-yard touchdown, looking more or less healthy while running past defenders to turn a slant into a big play. A larger workload Thursday is certainly possible, especially with depth receiver Devin Duvernay (hamstring) listed as questionable after missing…read more

Not practicing Tuesday
Beckham sat out practice Tuesday with a sore knee, Jonas Shaffer of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.
Analysis: Baltimore didn't include Beckham on its initial Week 11 injury report, so his absence could be maintenance-related rather than the result of a setback with his knee. The veteran wideout showcased plenty of burst while legging out a 40-yard catch-and-run for a touchdown in Sunday's 33-31 loss to the Browns, but Beckham was limited to a season-low 30 percent of the snaps on offense, while Rashod Bateman and Nelson Agholor saw expanded roles alongside No. 1 WR Zay Flowers.

Practices fully Thursday
Beckham (rest/knee) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
Analysis: Beckham sat out the Ravens' first Week 9 practice Wednesday, but his ability to participate fully one day later suggests his absence was more for rest purposes than due to the knee injury. He shouldn't face any limitations Sunday against the Browns and will be looking to build on the season-best stat line he delivered Week 9, when he recorded five receptions for 56 yards and a touchdown on seven targets in a 37-3 win over Seattle.

Resting with minor knee issue
Beckham didn't practice Wednesday due to a knee issue, Ryan Mink of the Ravens' official site reports.
Analysis: The Ravens also list Beckham's absence as being the result of "rest," suggesting that the knee injury isn't serious and won't threaten his availability for Sunday's matchup with Cleveland. He caught five of seven targets for 56 yards and a touchdown in a blowout win over the Seahawks this past Sunday, but he's still only playing about half the offensive snaps each week and lost a fumble prior to his garbage-time score against Seattle.

First touchdown with Baltimore
Beckham recorded five receptions on seven targets for 56 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 37-3 win over Seattle.
Analysis: Beckham was targeted seven times in the game, matching his season high. As has been the case, he worked primarily in short areas of the field, as his longest catch went for only 15 yards. The Ravens were seemingly hunting for a touchdown for Beckham, as he scored the final touchdown of the game -- which was delivered by Tyler Huntley rather than Lamar Jackson -- for his first score of the season. Before Sunday's performance, Beckham had failed to 50 receiving yards in a game.

Logs full practice Thursday
Beckham (shoulder) practiced fully Thursday.
Analysis: Beckham sat out Wednesday's practice, but his full participation Thursday sets the stage for the wideout to be available Sunday against the Seahawks. After recording a season-high five receptions (on seven targets) for 49 yards Week 7, Beckham didn't notch any catches on four targets versus Arizona this past weekend. Overall, the veteran wideout has compiled a 14-162-0 line on 26 targets through six games, a rate of production that makes Beckham a hit-or-miss fantasy lineup option Week 9.

Analysis: Beckham exited this past Sunday's win over the Cardinals after sustaining a stomach contusion, but was subsequently able to return to action. The wideout is dealing with a different injury to be begin Week 9 prep, however, so his status will need to be monitored ahead of this Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

Shut out of box score Sunday
Beckham was held without a catch on four targets Sunday against the Cardinals.
Analysis: Though the veteran was shut out in the box score, he made an impact on the game by drawing penalties that helped extend Ravens drives. That may not be much solace for fantasy managers, but it's still encouraging that he's drawing consistent targets, and he even had one in the end zone Sunday. He played 55 percent of the snaps -- which appears to be his normal role -- around a brief absence due to a stomach contusion, as he has played between 50 and 60 percent of the snaps in all but one game…read more

Good to go against Arizona
Beckham (shoulder) practiced fully Friday and doesn't have an injury designation heading into Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
Analysis: Beckham was a limited participant in practice Thursday, but the shoulder injury isn't expected to affect his availability against the Cardinals. The veteran wide receiver set season highs in targets (seven), catches (five) and receiving yards (49) in last week's win over the Lions, so he'll be entering the weekend with some momentum as he prepares to take aim at an Arizona secondary that's allowed the most receiving yards in the league to wide receivers this season.

Beckham was a limited practice participant Thursday due to a shoulder injury.
Analysis: Beckham wasn't listed on the Ravens' initial Week 8 injury report Wednesday, so the wideout's addition to Thursday's report makes his status for Sunday's game against the Cardinals worth tracking. Through five games to date, Beckham has logged a 14-162-0 receiving line, but he's coming off a five-catch, 49-yard effort in Baltimore's Week 7 win over the Lions.

Beckham caught five of seven targets for 49 yards in Sunday's win over the Lions.
Analysis: Sunday was Beckham's best game as a Raven thus far. He set season highs in targets, catches and yardage while playing 56 percent of the snaps. Beckham has yet to find the end zone as a Raven, but he seems to be trending in the right direction overall after Sunday's solid outing. The Ravens face a Cardinals defense that has been less-than-stellar against the pass Week 8.

Beckham caught two of four targets for 13 yards in Sunday's loss to the Steelers.
Analysis: The veteran returned from a two-game absence and logged 35 snaps, which ranked third among Baltimore receivers on Sunday. Beckham was unable to convert his snaps into much receiving output, however, and his long reception went for just seven yards. Baltimore's offense continues to be uneven in the passing game and now has to travel across the pond to face the Titans in London in Week 6.

Beckham brought in two of three targets for 37 yards in the Ravens' 25-9 win over the Texans on Sunday.
Analysis: The veteran wideout was largely quiet in his team debut, but he still managed to finish second in receiving yardage thanks in large part to a 29-yard grab in the fourth quarter on a pretty touch pass down the left sideline from Lamar Jackson.

Analysis: Hensley relayed Friday via coach John Harbaugh that the team elected to rest Beckham because he's been practicing so hard of late. Assuming no setbacks ahead of Week 1, Beckham -- who is bouncing back from knee surgery -- is slated to be a key passing target for QB Lamar Jackson, along with fellow WRs Rashod Bateman and Zay Flowers and top TE Mark Andrews.

Gets rest days
Coach John Harbaugh relayed that Beckham has been given a couple of rest days because he's been practicing so hard of late, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: With Beckham bouncing back from knee surgery, the team is understandably proceeding cautiously with the veteran wideout. While Beckham figures to be back at practice soon, it wouldn't surprise us if he doesn't see action in Monday's preseason contest against the Commanders.

Not practicing Friday
Beckham (undisclosed) didn't participate in practice Friday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: OBJ also missed Thursday's session, though it's unclear if it's an excused absence or injury-related. Beckham didn't play in the Ravens' preseason opener and is unlikely to suit up this week. Baltimore at least got Rashod Bateman (foot) back practicing Friday after he missed two straight sessions.

Unlikely to play Saturday
Beckham isn't in line to play in Saturday's preseason game against the Eagles, Jonas Shaffer of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.
Analysis: Beckham's debut as a Raven will have to wait until Monday, Aug. 21 in Washington, at the earliest. Baltimore's offense also will be without Nelson Agholor in its exhibition opener, and Rashod Bateman seems unlikely to play after the team activated him from the active/PUP list Wednesday, which would leave rookie first-round pick Zay Flowers, Devin Duvernay, Laquon Treadwell, James Proche and Tylan Wallace as some of the options at wide receiver.

Not limited at practice
Beckham said Thursday there are "no real limitations" on what he can do in practice, ESPN's Jamison Hensley reports.
Analysis: While he doesn't have any specific limitations, Beckham and the Ravens seem to have a plan to limit his reps and keep him healthy, so it won't be surprising if he's rested for a few practices this summer. The 30-year-old wideout is now more than 17 months removed from his ACL tear in the Rams' Super Bowl win over the Bengals, and with a one-year, $15 million contract in hand he's expected to be a big part of Baltimore's revamped passing game under new offensive coordinator Todd Monken.

Healthy but may have reps limited
Coach John Harbaugh suggested Tuesday Beckham could be eased into practices this summer even though he's considered fully healthy.
Analysis: It sounds like the team plans to limit the overall quantity of Beckham's practice reps rather than restricting the 30-year-old wideout to certain activities. That's probably smart given his extensive injury history, though right now he's actually the healthiest of Baltimore's top wide receivers, as rookie first-round pick Zay Flowers missed some OTA practices with an unspecified injury while Rashod Bateman and Devin Duvernay are both coming back from major foot injuries. QB Lamar Jackson is…read more

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Practices, listed as questionable
Beckham (hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Jacksonville after returning to practice Friday as a limited participant, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Analysis: According to Cameron DaSilva of USA Today, Rams head coach Sean McVay said that he expects Beckham to play this weekend after the wideout sandwiched a pair of limited practices around an absence Thursday. The Rams have depth receiver Ben Skowronek (back) healthy again if they want Beckham to suit up but handle a reduced role following a 10-target, 98-percent snap share outing in last week's loss to Green Bay. The Rams and Jaguars are scheduled for a 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday.

Questionable, but expected to play
Coach Sean McVay said he'd be surprised if Beckham (hip) doesn't play in Sunday's game against Jacksonville, though the wideout will be listed as questionable on the final injury report, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
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.

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.

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.

That exorbitant price for an injury-prone receiver who has seen his productivity decline in recent years was apparently too steep, but Beckham should command plenty of interest around the league now that he's eligible to sign at a more team-friendly rate.

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

Hopes to be game-time call Thursday
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: The shoulder injury likely had a hand in Beckham logging a season-low 55 percent of the Browns' offensive snaps in the Week 6 loss to the Cardinals before he was listed as a non-participant on Cleveland's first two practice reports for Week 7. The quick turnaround for the game against the Broncos could make it difficult for Beckham to suit up, but the Browns will see what he's able to do on the field at Wednesday's practice -- if anything -- before giving him a designation for Thursday. Even if…read more

Still not practicing
Beckham (shoulder) didn't practice Tuesday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Analysis: For a second straight day, Beckham had DNP next to his name, only this time around the Browns actually practiced. He'll have one more opportunity to mix in before the team likely gives him some sort of designation for Thursday's game against the Broncos. Meanwhile, Jarvis Landry is closing in on the end of his recovery from an MCL sprain, so the Browns may or may not have both of their top two wide receivers in the fold for Week 7. At the moment Donovan Peoples-Jones, Rashard Higgins and…read more

Uncertain for Thursday
Coach Kevin Stefanski said Beckham (shoulder) may play Thursday against the Broncos, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Headed for surgery next week
Beckham (knee) is scheduled to undergo surgery next week to repair his torn ACL, Tom Withers of the Associated Press reports.
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. Beckham's absence for the remainder of the season should free up more targets for fellow wideouts Jarvis Landry and Rashard Higgins over the second half of the Browns' schedule.

Shifts to IR
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. Beckham will turn his focus to rehabbing the knee with the aim of getting back to 100 percent health ahead of the 2021 season.

ACL tear confirmed
Beckham (knee) informed Josina Anderson of ESPN on Monday that he has suffered a season-ending ACL tear in his left knee.
Analysis: Beckham sustained the season-ending injury during Sunday's 37-34 win over the Bengals while attempting to chase down cornerback Darius Phillips after Baker Mayfield threw an interception on his first pass of the game. The Browns will doubtless place the star wideout on injured reserve in the near future as he sets his sights on making a recovery for 2021. With Beckham out, Rashard Higgins and Donovan Peoples-Jones, both of whom impressed during Sunday's divisional win, will be in line for added…read more

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

He's on the doorstep of the fifth 1,000-yard effort of his career, needing just 90 yards in the final two contests of the campaign. Beckham may have a difficult time accomplishing the feat Sunday, though, against a Baltimore defense that has surrendered the fourth fewest yards…read more

Logs limited practice
Beckham (groin) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Analysis: The Browns have been judicious with Beckham's practice usage in recent weeks while he reportedly contends with a sports hernia, but the wideout told Cabot he has no intentions of sitting out either of Cleveland's final two contests. Beckham will likely have his reps capped in the Browns' final practice session Friday, but if the pattern from previous weeks holds, he'll head into Sunday's game against the Ravens without a designation.

Limited at practice
Beckham (groin) was limited at practice Wednesday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Analysis: As has been a recurring theme for most of the second half of the season, Beckham and Jarvis Landry (hip) were both limited to begin the week, but the two wideouts should be available Sunday against the Ravens. Per Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, Beckham -- who may need surgery for a sports hernia in the offseason -- isn't inclined to shut himself down with two games to go. Additionally, Jake Trotter of ESPN.com relayed Wednesday that the wideout plans to be with the Browns in…read more

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.

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

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).

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.

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

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.

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

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.
