Miami Dolphins veteran wide receiver, Odell Beckham Jr., is set to make his season debut against the New England Patriots after being activated from the physically unable to perform list. Beckham had missed the first four games of the season due to a knee cleanup procedure in the offseason.
Beckham expressed his selflessness in going on the PUP list to open up a roster spot for another player. The Dolphins, who have struggled offensively, hope Beckham’s return will boost their performance. Head coach Mike McDaniel praised Beckham’s performance in practice and hinted at a limited role in the upcoming game, with potential for increased involvement in the future.
The Dolphins are currently averaging a league-low 11.3 points per game, with inconsistent quarterback play due to injuries. Beckham, a three-time Pro Bowler, admitted it was tough to watch from the sidelines as the team struggled but is eager to contribute on the field. The Dolphins also re-signed quarterback Tim Boyle and elevated cornerback Nik Needham to the active roster ahead of the game against the Patriots. With their bye week coming up, the Dolphins are hopeful that Beckham’s return could spark a turnaround in their season.
