After missing the entire 2022 season, Odell Beckham Jr. is back. But he might not be for long.
The first-year Baltimore Ravens receiver is already talking retirement before the 2023 season kicks off. He told The Athletic's Dan Pompei in a story published Monday that he's contemplating the upcoming season as his last in football.
That's far from the declaration of a retirement tour. But the toll of an injury-plagued eight-season career appears to have Beckham mulling life after football at 30 years old.Baltimore's Week 1 game against the Houston Texans would be Beckham's first since he tore the ACL in his left knee as a member of the victorious Los Angeles Rams in the Super Bowl after the 2021 season. He previously tore the same ACL in 2020 with the Cleveland Browns.
Between his injuries and a stagnant Browns offense, Beckham was a shell of his former All-Pro self during a 28-game stint in Cleveland. But he proved to be a valuable contributor on a championship team during his brief 2021 stint with the Rams. It's that type of effort that Beckham and the Ravens hope he recaptures this season.
