The NFL regular season is here and one of the most anticipated Week 1 matchup is between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Cleveland Browns in a playoff rematch. The Browns, once again, have a ton of people buzzing about their talent and potential.
But, the Browns could be down a key starter as wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. has been working his way back from an ACL injury he suffered during the 2020 campaign. On Friday, Browns' head coach Kevin Stefanski didn't help anybody with Beckham's availability and gave a rather cryptic response.

So, nobody will know the status of Beckham until 90 minutes before kickoff, according to the Browns head coach. Is this a smokescreen to keep the Chiefs defense guessing? Or is Beckham's availability really up in the air?
The Browns have been looking forward to getting their top wide receiver back on the field to pair with Jarvis Landry, giving Baker Mayfield a multitude of weapons to work with, including Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt as well.
The situation with Beckham will be worth monitoring, and this will be a major headache for fantasy players. Still, the signs have been trending towards Beckham being able to go for the opening week of the 2021 NFL season.
