In the world of the NFL, mysteries abound and speculation runs wild. One such mystery currently swirling around is the one involving Dolphins receiver Odell Beckham Jr.
Beckham signed a hefty $3 million deal with the team and seemed to have passed his physical with flying colors. However, things took a turn when he failed to pass his pre-training camp physical, ultimately being placed on the Physically Unable to Perform list.
While he did take part in some of the team’s offseason program, it was noted that he did not participate in team drills. This raises questions about what could have possibly gone wrong during his time on the practice field.
Surprisingly, it seems that an injury may not be the culprit behind Beckham’s failed physical. Dolphins’ General Manager Chris Grier revealed that they were aware of the possibility that Beckham might not be able to start the year due to a “procedure” when he was signed.
When pressed for more details about the injury, Grier remained tight-lipped, stating, “I appreciate the question, but I don’t like to talk about people’s medical history.”
It’s interesting to note that while teams are typically open about players’ injuries when releasing injury reports, the Dolphins seem to be keeping things hush-hush in Beckham’s case. Perhaps they are playing their cards close to their chest until he is fully healthy and ready to join the active roster.
One thing is for sure – the football world will be eagerly awaiting the day when Beckham is pronounced fit and ready to play, with no need for any announcements about his health status. Until then, the mystery surrounding Odell Beckham Jr. will continue to intrigue fans and pundits alike.
