🚨 Odell Beckham, Jr. will play Sunday vs the Bears, barring any final setbacks, per sources. Beckham, who hasn’t played since suffering a torn ACL on Oct. 25, has worked diligently to return and re-assert himself among the league’s top receivers. He’s a Comeback POY candidate.

It’ll be OBJ’s first time playing in a game since tearing his ACL in October 2020 against the Bengals while trying to make a tackle.

It’s been roughly 11 months since OBJ stepped onto the field during an NFL game. After missing a massive chunk of the 2020 campaign and the first couple games of 2021, he’s finally returning against the Bears.
Seeing as how Chicago isn’t really any good, it’s probably the best team for OBJ to return against. He won’t be asked to do much and can slowly work his way back into the lineup.
God. I wanna take this time to thank u in advance for what’s about to come.

It’s going to be fun to see what he can do in his first game in nearly a year. Can’t wait!
