After the close loss against the Packers, Odell Beckham Jr picked up a knock along with Darrell Henderson Jr and Ben Skowronek. Due to this, the star WR was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday’s practice because of a hip pointer injury.

The good news, however, is that the hip injury isn’t going to stop OBJ from making his third appearance for the Rams. Head Coach Sean McVay via the team website confirmed this – “Wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. sustained a posterior hip pointer against the Packers, but it’s not expected to affect his game status for Week 13 against the Jaguars.”

Odell Beckham Jr ended weeks of speculation when he joined the LA Rams on November 8th. Since joining, the WR has starred in two games for the LA based side. His debut match for the Rams was a rather cold affair. Against the 49ers [debut], the WR caught 2 passes for 18 yards. However, the talented WR showed significant improvement in his second game against the Packers where he scored his first TD for the Rams.

After his improvement against the Packers, head coach Sean McVay acknowledged the same and hoped for a bright future. “He did a nice job,” McVay said, via Skyler Carlin of USAToday.com. “I continue to say it but for him to be able to play as many snaps and do as many different things as he is on such a short amount of time that we’ve been together — I think it’s a real credit to his football acumen and how smart he is.”
