With Kansas City Chiefs Closing In on Odell Beckham Jr., Reports Suggest His ACL Recovery Will Keep Him Out of Action Till This Date

Odell Beckham Jr. missed out on earning the MVP award in the Super Bowl last season. He went down with injury just before halftime and saw his Los Angeles Rams win the Super Bowl 2022 from the sidelines.

He then had to go for a surgery for his torn ACL that has kept him out of the NFL till date. But when will the fans be able to see OBJ back on the field?

Odell Beckham Jr. may return to the NFL on this date

According to NFL insider Adam Schefter, Odell Beckham Jr. will make a comeback by Thanksgiving this year. If that happens, fans can see OBJ in action by game week 12. Speaking on ESPN Radio’s ‘Keyshawn JWill and Max’ back in September, Schefter said he didn’t believe that OBJ will be seen back in action until late November 2022.“I don’t think we’re going to see him until Thanksgiving with the knee injury. He’s a down the line guy,” Schefter said.

If OBJ does make a comeback by Thanksgiving, he would have a clear idea of where he wants to go. He has been linked with various teams, but the strongest links have come from the Kansas City Chiefs. Most of the teams desiring his services are waiting for him to get a go-ahead medically before entering into negotiations.

The Cleveland Browns had released OBJ midway through last season, after which he went on to join the Rams. LA had a great season after the deal as they lifted the Super Bowl title at the end. The Rams wanted to re-sign OBJ for the next season, but his torn ACL during the Super Bowl game complicated matters. Now reports suggest that the Chief are the current favorites to sign the WR.

He played for the Giants till the 2018 season, earning three Pro Bowl selections. OBJ then signed with the Cleveland Browns. After that, he went to the Los Angeles Rams, where he won his first Super Bowl title.
