When will Odell Beckham Jr return to the NFL? Update on star wide receiver
Odell Beckham Jr., a wide receiver, experienced something of a comeback in 2021 after the LA Rams signed him after the Browns dismissed him. In eight games with the Rams, Beckham caught 27 passes for 305 yards, but the playoffs were where he really made an impression, hauling in 25 passes for 316 yards and two scores, including nine catches for 117 yards in the NFC Championship Game against the 49ers.

Beckham appeared to be in great shape for the Super Bowl matchup with the Bengals. Early on, he caught two catches for 52 yards and a touchdown. However, an ACL tear ended his free agency as well as his career. Even though Beckham still does not have a team as the NFL regular season draws near, there are some very good signs that he will.
What ailment did Odell Beckham Jr. have?
During the second quarter of the Super Bowl versus the Bengals, Beckham sustained an ACL tear without making contact with the ground. He has previously suffered from a ruptured ACL, which occurred in 2020.
The accident happened when Beckham botched a short pass against Cincinnati in the first half. In the play, he instantly collapsed to the ground and gripped his knee.
Beckham, who was visibly moved by the Rams’ triumph, joined the squad in its celebration at the end of the game.

hen will Odell Beckham Jr. be making a comeback?
Although there is no set date for Beckham’s return from his injury, November seems to be the earliest likely return. It’s difficult to picture anyone rushing to get him back onto the field at the age of 29, especially since this is his second ACL injury in the knee.
Potential landings for Odell Beckham Jr.
The Rams could have signed Beckham despite the injuries, but they’re attempting to hang onto a championship. Even still, if he does make a comeback this year, Los Angeles is likely to be his final stop. Cooper Kupp, Van Jefferson, and rookie Allen Robinson are all in that receiver room, but Beckham provides a seasoned presence and was obviously well-liked in Los Angeles. a year ago.

rdan Rodrigue also claims that the Rams are allegedly keeping a locker open for Beckham, complete with a nameplate.
While some may view this as a gimmick, Beckham recently won a ring with the Rams and was very picky about who he even pondered signing with the previous year. We are aware that they are a finalist.
The Bills might be an additional team, although Beckham might be leery of them given their proximity to Lake Erie. Von Miller, a former Rams teammate, has publicly advocated for the Bills to sign Beckham, but given their friendship, this is not entirely unexpected.
Beckham’s next deal is expected to be a short-term one, and for what it’s worth, there are no rumbles of retirement. Beckham, who is 29 years old, could yet sign a long-term contract. But if he is able to make a comeback this season, he will need to prove himself once more.
