Odell Beckham Jr Missing His Final Practice With Browns Sums up His Season
By Andy Loughmiller
It's been another forgettable year for the Cleveland Browns in 2019. With a trip to the postseason already off the table, the team only had one more practice left before their final game vs. the Cincinnati Bengals, but one player was notably absent.
Odell Beckham Jr. was not in attendance on Friday,, which pretty much sums up his time in Cleveland thus far. It's been a complete and total disaster.
The superstar wide receiver missed practice due to an illness and is now questionable to play in their Week 17 game. This news is essentially a microcosm of his season that has been highlighted by his antics rather than his performance on the field.
OBJ is just 46 yards away from reaching 1,000 receiving yards, but he may not have an opportunity to hit that milestone if he doesn't suit up on Sunday. It would mark the fifth season of his six-year NFL career in which he has gained over 1,000 yards in a single campaign.
For all we know, Beckham could actually be sick and ultimately able to get healthy enough to play vs. the Bengals. However, him not being present during their final practice of the year while being surrounded by rumors that he wants out of Cleveland makes this feel like he has totally checked out.
When will the suffering end for Browns fans? It was supposed to be this year, but that simply hasn't been the case.
