The Miami Dolphins have been waiting for months for their hopeful No. 3 wide receiver, Odell Beckham Jr., to practice with the team.
Beckham has been out with an unspecified injury, but he is now off the Dolphins’ reserve/PUP list and trending toward a workout with teammates soon.
The team did not practice on Wednesday, but Beckham was listed as a full estimated participant, indicating that he is close to returning to the field.
The Dolphins have three weeks to activate Beckham, or he will miss the season.
However, it seems unlikely that Beckham will miss the season based on Wednesday’s development.
Beckham underwent knee surgery this offseason, which has kept him out for several months.
Despite his injury history, Beckham is a former Pro Bowl wide receiver who can provide a much-needed boost to the Dolphins’ passing attack.
The Dolphins have struggled without Tua Tagovailoa, who is currently out with a concussion.
Beckham’s return could provide a spark for the team’s offense, which has cratered without Tagovailoa.
