Odell Beckham Jr. injury update: Why Dolphins WR is on PUP list at start of training camp image

Odell Beckham Jr. is on his fourth team since 2021, but he's once again dealing with an injury that will keep him sidelined.

The 31-year-old wideout has dealt with numerous ailments this decade, tearing his ACL twice as well as injuring his ankle. Injuries have done a number on the former first-round pick, but he's still viewed as a valuable veteran target on the perimeter.

He joined the Dolphins this offseason but will miss at least a portion of training camp with his latest injury. There isn't a timeline for his return.

Here's the latest on Beckham Jr.'s injury status ahead of the 2024 NFL season.

It's uncertain what Beckham Jr.'s injuries are or how long he'll be sidelined. Pelissero reported that he's "working through minor things."

The veteran wide receiver has dealt with a plethora of injuries over the past few years, but he was mostly healthy in his lone season with the Ravens. He injured his ankle in Week 2, missing the next two games before finishing the season healthy.
