Odell Beckham Jr. is spending his first offseason with the Browns recovering.
Odell Beckham Jr. is spending his first offseason with the Browns recovering. Cleveland announced Tuesday morning that the wide receiver underwent successful surgery to repair a core muscle injury.
The operation on the 27-year-old was done Tuesday in Philadelphia, according to the team. Beckham is expected to make a full recovery, although there is no timeline detailed in the team’s announcement.
The wide receiver dealt with injuries throughout his first season with the Browns, who finished the season 6-10, but still played in all 16 games and started in all but one contest. OBJ finished the 2019 season with 74 receptions for 1,035 yards and four touchdowns.
Two weeks after the end of the Pats’ season 2019, Edelman has already undergone surgery to address one of his injuries.
Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman fought through more than one injury during the final stretch of the 20-19 season.
Two weeks after the end of the Pats’ season 2019, Edelman has already undergone surgery to address one of his injuries.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Tuesday that Edelman underwent a shoulder procedure last week, adding that the rehab is not expected to be lengthy and that the 33-year-old is expected to be ready for New England’s offseason program.
Edelman also dealt with a knee injury during the season, but there is no news about that injury at this point. Last season’s Super Bowl MVP played in every Patriots game this season, making 13 starts despite his injuries. Edelman finished the regular season 100 receptions for 1,117 yards and 6 touchdowns.
As we get closer to the first free agency of Tom Brady’s storied career, New Englanders continue to express support for the quarterback in hopes that he will remain a Patriot.

Tuesday, Brady took to Instagram to show love for fans who wrote a loud and clear message in snow asking him to stay. The Insta-story “Love you All,” post doesn’t shed any light on the QB’s upcoming contract status .. Brady has pretty consistently thanked the Patriots fans for being some of the best in football.
While the 42-year-old is not guaranteed to stay with the pats for the 2020 season, it seems safe to say that the decision certainly won’t be a reflection of his feelings toward the team’s fan base.
Monday, four-time Super Bowl champ and Pro Football Hall of Famer Joe Montana made the best big game prediction of all.
With the Super Bowl 54 teams decided, predictions are rolling in.
Monday, four-time Super Bowl champ and Pro Football Hall of Famer Joe Montana made the best big game prediction of all.
Montana tweeted, “You heard from me first. I GUARANTEE my team will win the SUPER BOWL!!”
Now, if you’re like me .. hearing that (without seeing the accompanying picture) may lead you to believe Montana is picking the team he won all four super bowls with and played 14 seasons with .. San Francisco .. instead of the team he finished career with, Kansas City. Then, there’s also the fact that the former quarterback’s Twitter profile picture is him in his 49ers uniform and helmet.
But, Montana kept the prediction neutral, sharing a picture of his two framed uniforms .. the No. 19 Kansas City Chiefs on the wall beside the No. 16 San Francisco 49ers jersey.
To his credit, Montana is now guaranteed a correct pick and a win .. even if neither team is. Kyle Shanahan’s and Andy Reid’s teams kickoff at 6:30 E.T. in Miami on Feb. 2.
LeBron James and the lakers fell 139-107 versus the Celtics in Boston on Monday, but LBJ is making headlines responding postgame to something that happened on a different basketball court.
LeBron James and the lakers fell 139-107 versus the Celtics in Boston on Monday, but LBJ is making headlines responding postgame to something that happened on a different basketball court.
James’ teenaged son, Bronny, was playing in a game of his own on MLK Day when someone threw something at the younger James’ back while he was inbounding the ball.
“I mean it’s just disrespectful, and it was a little kid I don’t know how old that little kid was,” LeBron said. “I don’t know if he learned that on his own or he learned that at home or whatever the case may be, but it’s disrespectful. I wonder how old that kid is if he was around Bronny’s age or Bryce’s age.”
James explained that he was at his son’s game and saw the official stop the game, but that he did not realize why that happened until he saw the video after arriving at TD Garden for his own game.
Bronny’s teammate, Zaire Williams, told reporters after the HoopHall Classic, which wrapped up in Springfield, Massachusetts Monday, “You’d be surprised by all the stuff Bronny has to go through. It’s not fair, but he doesn’t let it phase him at all. I’m learning how to be more like that from him and he’s younger than me.”
LeBron agreed that his 14-year-old is level headed, saying he’s calmer than both of his parents, adding, “I guess he’s taken that from me too. I let a lot of (expletive) go. (…) But that (expletive) made me mad when I saw it.”
The 90-minute ride in a vehicle (which USA Today Sports confirmed as the means of transportation) to Springfield from Boston is something James said he doesn’t mind, calling it “special,” that he and his son have games that close to one another so far from their California home.
“The only bad thing about today is I took two Ls,” LeBron said. “The James gang took two Ls today. There’s always better days.”
