WATCH: Odell Beckham Jr. says his hip injury is concerning
Odell Beckham Jr. is set to make his debut as a Cleveland Brown on Sunday, but he may not be at 100%.
Odell Beckham Jr. is set to make his debut as a Cleveland Brown on Sunday, but the way the star wide receiver describes his nagging hip injury is concerning.
“It’s like an extremely fast car with a little alignment or something off, and it’s right in the center of what you need,’’ Beckham said Thursday after practice. “Now the car can still go, but it’s dangerous.’’
In meeting with the media Thursday, the 26-year-old explained that he isn’t sure when exactly his hip began causing him pain and discomfort. Beckham said that he just remembers it feeling uncomfortable one day during fall camp.
Beckham sat out all four of the Browns preseason games and most of the August practices before returning to practice last week. He admitted that he hasn’t gone all out in any of the practices yet, adding that he expects adrenaline to take over in Week 1 versus the Tennessee Titans.
“It’s something that hinders me from fully sprinting as fast as I can,” he said. “I’d rather get to Sunday and open up than be running around and hinder myself before the game.’’
