Odell Beckham Jr. Resumes Playing for Miami Dolphins After Knee Surgery

Beckham’s Return from PUP List

Odell Beckham Jr., the wide receiver for the Dolphins, has been cleared from the physically unable to perform list, and is likely to participate in the upcoming Sunday match against the New England Patriots. After undergoing a knee procedure this offseason, Beckham remained on the PUP list for the first four weeks of the season. Despite his signing with the team in May, he returned to practice just this week.

Beckham’s Practice and the Corresponding Move

Being a three-time Pro Bowler, Beckham managed to fully participate in three consecutive days of practice without any setbacks. However, his participation in Sunday’s game remains uncertain. The Dolphins announced the release of quarterback Tim Boyle on Friday, a move that served to create space for Beckham on their 53-man active roster. Boyle was re-signed to the practice squad on Saturday and is expected to be promoted to the active roster for Sunday’s game.

The Impact of Beckham’s Return

Beckham’s return is a significant boost to a wide receivers room that has been grappling with production challenges and health issues. Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle have managed to surpass 200 receiving yards this season, but no other Dolphins receiver has exceeded 30 yards in the first four games.

Beckham is stepping up to the challenge, embracing the pressure that the Miami offense is facing in their bid to break their three-game losing streak. “Pressure is why I got into this game. It was never for the attention,” Beckham stated earlier this week.

Dolphins’ Lineup Updates

The Dolphins’ lineup this week will also witness the return of left tackle Terron Armstead and cornerback Kendall Fuller, both of whom missed last week’s game due to concussion protocol. However, safety Jordan Poyer will be absent from Sunday’s game due to a shin injury.
