ODELL BECKHAM JR. NEWS

Making Rams debut Beckham is listed as active Monday at San Francisco, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

Impact After the Browns waived him last Monday, Beckham made his new destination known Thursday, choosing the Rams over the Packers. With L.A., he'll have a role right away due to Friday's development in the receiving corps. Robert Woods suffered a torn ACL in practice, which sets up Beckham to be a regular target for Matthew Stafford behind Cooper Kupp and alongside Van Jefferson and Ben Skowronek. Beckham has only made 13 appearances the last two seasons due to injuries, combining for 40 catches (on 77 targets) for 551 yards and three touchdowns, but a turnaround could be imminent in a more pass-happy Rams offense.

Likely to be limited in team debut Beckham remains on track to suit up for Monday's game against the 49ers, but he's expected to Rams debut in "limited fashion," Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Impact Because Beckham only turned in one practice with his new team after signing a one-year deal Thursday, the Rams aren't eager to overextended him in his first game. That being said, Pelissero adds that Beckham's snap count is likely to grow in coming weeks, especially after the Rams lost fellow wideout Robert Woods (knee) to a season-ending ACL tear in Friday's practice. Even so, both Pelissero and Jay Glazer of Fox Sports note that because he doesn't play the same position at receiver as Woods, Beckham won't be a direct replacement in the starting lineup -- at least not for Week 10. Instead, rookie Ben Skowronek is in line to start for Woods on Monday, but expect head coach Sean McVay to find a way to get Beckham, Cooper Kupp and Van Jefferson on the field together regularly once Beckham has full command of the Rams playbook. Adam Schefter of ESPN also reports that Beckham could be deployed as a punt returner for the Rams, though it would likely be as part of a timeshare with Kupp.

May have return role with new team The Rams have discussed using Beckham as an occasional punt returner in addition to his duties at receiver when he likely makes his team debut Monday in San Francisco, Adam Schefte...

Impact Beckham hasn't returned a kickoff or punt since 2019, but the Rams apparently view him as a candidate to contribute on both offense and special teams over the second half of the season. With Los Angeles having lost its primary punt returner (rookie Tutu Atwell) to a season-ending shoulder injury earlier this month, Cooper Kupp has usually acted as the Rams' "safe" punt returner on the occasions the team has wanted to have somebody sure-handed to field kicks deep in its own territory. Kupp could continue to field punts in those scenarios, but Beckham would represent a more dynamic option when the Rams are looking for someone to provide a potential game-changing play. Regardless, any value Beckham provides on special teams will be minimal compared to what he does on offense, where he'll likely have an even more heightened role than the Rams initially envisioned upon signing him to a one-year, $4.5 million deal Thursday. With Robert Woods (knee) suffering a season-ending ACL tear in Friday's practice, Beckham could quickly usurp either Van Jefferson or Tyler Higbee as the No. 2 option in the passing game behind Kupp, who leads the NFL in catches, receiving yards and touchdown receptions.

Playing Monday after Woods injury Beckham (shoulder) has passed his physical and will play Monday against the 49ers, NFL insider Jordan Schultz reports.

Impact Beckham's role Monday may be limited since he's still familiarizing himself with the Rams' playbook, but at least he'll be able to take the field and make his Rams debut. He won't be joined by fellow wide receiver Robert Woods, as Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Woods tore his ACL in practice Friday and will miss the remainder of the season. As a result of Woods' injury, Beckham and Van Jefferson will both take on full-time starting roles on the outside once Beckham's up to speed, with Cooper Kupp working in his customary slot position.
