REPORT: Rams Expected Odell Beckham Jr.’s Knee To “Explode” Before Signing Him Last Year

Odell Beckham Jr.’s return to the football hit a road block last week when it was reported that the Dallas Cowboys have fears about his surgically repaired knee and whether or not he can contribute this season.

But the concern with Beckham’s health dates back to last week before he signed with the Los Angeles Rams.

According to Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated, the situation with OBJ’s knee was so bad that the Rams thought he wouldn’t be “able to make it through the year without his knee exploding.”

The situation with OBJ's knee is so bad, that #Rams people told @AlbertBreer that had they had his physical last year in Aug they wouldn't had even signed him.

Odell joined the Rams last November and helped fire them to Super Bowl glory earlier this year. However, he was unfortunate to suffer an ACL injury during the 23-20 win over the Cincinnati Bengals.

Beckham, who’s a free agent visited the Dallas Cowboys, Buffalo Bills and New York Giants and left all three visits without signing a deal.
