Plays through shoulder issue Beckham (shoulder) secured two of six targets for 23 yards in the Browns' 17-14 win over the Broncos on Thursday night.
Impact Beckham somewhat surprisingly garnered active status after it was reported earlier in the day he was expected to sit out. However, with Case Keenum running a fairly conservative game plan and D'Ernest Johnson consistently eating up chunks of yardage on the ground in his spot start, the entire pass-catching corps generated underwhelming numbers. Beckham now has a trio of two-catch, sub-30-yard efforts in his last four games, something that he and fantasy managers will hope a few extra days of rest and the possible return of Mayfield will correct in a Week 8 home matchup versus the Steelers a week from Sunday.

Suits up Thursday night Beckham (shoulder) is listed as active for Thursday night's game against the Broncos.
Impact Though listed as active, it remains to be seen if Beckham will be able to handle his normal allotment of snaps alongside Jarvis Landry (knee), who was activated from IR in advance of Thursday's contest. With starting QB Baker Mayfield (shoulder) out, the WR duo -- as well as Donovan Peoples-Jones -- will be catching passes from Case Keenum. Meanwhile, both of the team's top running backs (Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt) are sidelined by calf injuries, meaning that Cleveland's banged-up offense will feature a backfield trio of D'Ernest Johnson, Demetric Felton and John Kelly. Between the shoulder issue that previously clouded his TNF status and the rash of injuries his team is currently dealing with, Beckham profiles as a speculative Week 7 fantasy lineup option.

Faces 'uphill battle' to play Beckham (shoulder), who is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Broncos, has an "uphill battle" to play, James Palmer of NFL Network reports.
Impact According to Palmer, the Browns aren't completely dismissing the possibility of Beckham suiting up, but he seems to have lower odds of playing than the 50-50 questionable designation would imply. Beckham was listed as a non-participant on the practice report Monday through Wednesday while tending to what Josina Anderson of USA Today relays is a Grade 3 AC joint sprain. The expected return of Jarvis Landry (knee) from injured reserve would help alleviate a potential Beckham absence, but Cleveland will still be short on position talent nonetheless with Nick Chubb (calf), Kareem Hunt (calf) and Baker Mayfield (shoulder) all sidelined. Expect Beckham to go through a pregame workout before a final decision on his status is made when Cleveland reveals its inactive list approximately 90 minutes prior to the 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff.

Impact Per Josina Anderson of USA Today, Beckham is dealing with a Grade 3 AC joint shoulder sprain, and at this stage, the wideout should be viewed as a game-day call in advance of Thursday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff. For now, Donovan Peoples-Jones is the Browns' top healthy wideout, though it's possible that Jarvis Landry (knee) could be activated off injured reserve prior to Thursday's contest.

Impact The shoulder injury likely had a hand in Beckham logging a season-low 55 percent of the Browns' offensive snaps in the Week 6 loss to the Cardinals before he was listed as a non-participant on Cleveland's first two practice reports for Week 7. The quick turnaround for the game against the Broncos could make it difficult for Beckham to suit up, but the Browns will see what he's able to do on the field at Wednesday's practice -- if anything -- before giving him a designation for Thursday. Even if Beckham suits up, he might be catching passes from a new quarterback, as Case Keenum could be in line to start with Baker Mayfield tending to a completely torn labrum of his left (non-throwing) shoulder.

Still not practicing Beckham (shoulder) didn't practice Tuesday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Impact For a second straight day, Beckham had DNP next to his name, only this time around the Browns actually practiced. He'll have one more opportunity to mix in before the team likely gives him some sort of designation for Thursday's game against the Broncos. Meanwhile, Jarvis Landry is closing in on the end of his recovery from a Week 2 MCL sprain, so the Browns may or may not have both of their top two wide receivers in the fold Week 7. At the moment Donovan Peoples-Jones, Rashard Higgins and Anthony Schwartz are the only healthy WRs on the active roster.

Uncertain for Thursday Coach Kevin Stefanski said Beckham (shoulder) may play Thursday against the Broncos, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Impact Beckham was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimate, and Stefanski wasn't sure whether the wide receiver would be out there Tuesday, either. With Jarvis Landry (knee) inching closer to being activated from IR -- he has a chance to return Thursday -- the Browns finally may have their top two wide receivers available for the first time since Week 2. Their respective statuses likely will depend on what they're able to do on the field Tuesday and Wednesday.
