Odell Beckham Jr. says his hip injury has prevented him from opening up and sprinting, but he hopes the adrenalin will take over vs. Titans
"It’s something that prevents me from opening up and sprinting,'' he said in his podium press conference.
He said he’s never dealt with something like this before and that he’s getting rehab on the hip every day. But asked if 90% of him is better than 100% of someone else, he smiled and said "I’m confident in me.''
He said he plans to ‘give it my best in each and every way’ during the game Sunday and FirstEnergy Stadium “and nothing will get in the way of that.”

OBJ has missed 16 of the last 32 games + more games than Sammy Watkins (both entered NFL in 2014) w/ ankle, quad, hamstring, and now hip injuries.
The upside is massive with a downfield thrower like Baker, but the injury concern is not something we can completely dismiss

Just like Shockey, it's addition by subtraction.
Passed his prime? lol
Gettleman did the right thing. The value is just going to keep diminishing.
No.
At the end of next season I think Browns fans will consider Beckham a bad contract.
Yup. Just wants to make sure everyone knows what a hero he is for doing so.
Odell wants his spotlight.
I don't love defending the guy, but he had a few of them. You might want to go back and look again.
Or the kicking net

I’m sure you’ll feel that way on Sunday when our WRs are lighting it up....

Until proven otherwise? Yes. He hasn’t been 2016 Beckham since 2016.
He s the same guy he s always been.
You do remember that he was injured his rookie year with a hamstring.... and was still incredibly productive over the years.
But, hip injuries are no joke.
Just like Shockey, it's addition by subtraction.
+1
He s the same guy he s always been.
That's true, but then he was our asshole

Fortunately, he's no longer is ours. So it's open season on him . . . .
Now he's gone. I don't wish him any malice and certainly not injury. But his antics and problems are no longer my team's problem.
I hear JPP is still missing great gobs of games every season.
That's a shame.
I know a little bit about hip injuries. 20 years ago, I injured my right hip playing basketball. I kept playing for a couple of years, the pain would come and go.
Now I'm an old man and need a hip replacement.
If his injury is severe enough for the team to keep him out, pain killers, mental toughness and cortizone can just do so much.
He's an ex Giant who brought a lot of excitement to us. I'll be rooting for him.

You can't compare JPP and Beckham. JPP helped win a ring. Beckham helped get a couple of extra Monday night games scheduled.
Hip is awful depending on how bad it is, certainly can effect everything, not just hip rotation, but walking, running, jumping of course...
That was simply a smart business decision.
