Sounds Like Odell Beckham Jr. Might Need Offseason Surgery
By Michael Luciano
Cleveland Browns wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. doesn't look like the same player who was carrying a washed Eli Manning in New York, as his trademark jaw-dropping catches and legendary explosiveness have been conspicuously absent in his first season with the Browns.
Beckham has reportedly been dealing with a "hernia-like" injury for a good chunk of this season, and will meet with a core specialist to determine if surgery is needed.
#Browns WR Odell Beckham Jr told me he's currently scheduled a January 13th consultation with a core specialist to discuss his "hernia-like" injury as one of several opinions he’ll gather to determine if he’ll opt for surgery, or not next year.

Beckham has 910 receiving yards through 14 games with Baker Mayfield and Freddie Kitchens, but he has found the end zone just twice, as Jarvis Landry's stats this season are superior in almost every category.
Beckham has been very vocal with his demands for other teams to "come get him" amid constant trade rumors. Despite the injuries, subpar performance, and rumors of a trade, Cleveland does not plan to trade away Odell this offseason.

Beckham's nightmare season in Cleveland is getting worse by the week, as now even his health is starting to fail him. Hopefully he can hit the reset button in 2020 and get back to the showstopper we know and love.
