Odell Beckham Jr injury history

Odell Beckham Jr has a long history with injuries but has managed to play through most of them. The 27-year-old was limited by a core muscle issue last season but played all 16 games last year before undergoing surgery in the summer. OBJ had a variety of issues during his time at the New York Giants, with the most notable being an ankle injury which ruled him out for 12 games in 2017.

Beckham has missed a combined 27 games in the first six seasons of his career. His latest blow could see him miss the remaining eight games of the ongoing NFL season. The 27-year-old has three years remaining on the five-year, $90 million contract he signed in August of 2018 and has shown that he can be a difference-maker when on the field. Cleveland will struggle to cover for OBJ's absence, with Jarvis Landry the only other proven receiver on the Browns roster.
