Browns WR Odell Beckham Jr. Has Core Muscle Surgery

Browns wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. has undergone successful core muscle surgery according to the team’s Twitter account.

Beckham played through the injury throughout the 2019 season, which could account at least in part for his fewest catches (74), receiving yards (1,035), and touchdowns (4) since his reduced four-game 2017 campaign that ended with a gruesome fractured ankle.

The Browns suggested his recovery timeline will be similar to Kareem Hunt’s, who underwent sports hernia surgery in training camp and was clicking on all cylinders by the time his eight-game suspension had ended. Beckham turns 28 in November.
