Odell Beckham Jr. could be back in football sooner rather than later as a league insider predicts the Super Bowl-winning wide receiver to be back in action in the NFL Playoffs, weeks after he was cut from the Miami Dolphins.
The 32-year-old became champion with the Los Angeles Rams in 2021 but suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury, missing the entire 2022 season in physiotherapy to keep his career alive. He made his return with the Baltimore Ravens in 2023 and scored three touchdowns before being released at the start of 2024.
He then made the switch to the Dolphins and was activated to their roster on October 5 but struggled to make an impression at the Hard Rock Stadium behind Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, as well as failing to create chemistry with Tua Tagovailoa.

In light of just nine catches for 55 yards through nine appearances, he and the Dolphins mutually agreed to terminate his contract on December 13 and he became a free agent, but he may not be one for too much longer.
“There are teams monitoring the situation,” Josina Anderson, NFL insider, posted to X.com (formerly Twitter) of Beckham Jr. “And have expressed interest in potentially joining their organization depending on circumstances surrounding their roster.
“He’s staying in shape and has the experience of playing in a Super Bowl with an MVP-like first half before his injury. Fresh now.”
Beckham Jr’s hero-to-heartbreak Super Bowl
Famed for ‘The Catch’ in 2014, Beckham Jr. is a skilled and athletic receiver and was on course to potentially produce one of the finest Super Bowl performances of modern times against the Cincinnati Bengals in February 2021 before tearing his ACL.
At the time of the injury, he had made two receptions for 52 yards from three targets by Matthew Stafford, including the opening touchdown of the contest six minutes into the first quarter. The Rams went on to win 23-20, earning him a ring.
