Odell Beckham Jr. was listed as questionable for the Cleveland Browns in Week 17, but it doesn't appear he will miss Sunday's game. According to Ian Rapoport, Beckham is expected to play while fighting food poisoning in Week 17.
#Browns WR Odell Beckham (groin, illness) is listed as questionable because of food poisoning in the last few days, but the belief is his condition has improved enough so he can be on the field today, source said.

For the majority of the season, Beckham has nursed a groin injury. The Pro Bowl wideout is still dealing with a groin issue as he prepares for the final week of the season. But this time around, an illness put Beckham's status for Sunday's contest in jeopardy.
If a groin injury wasn't able to sideline him for any games, it was doubtful that an illness would. The talented pass-catcher would love to finish his first season with the Browns on a high note on Sunday versus the Cincinnati Bengals.
This season, Beckham has corralled 71 receptions for 954 yards and three touchdowns. There's a decent chance that Beckham finishes the season with career-lows in receptions, yards, and touchdowns.
Without a doubt, it's been quite the roller coaster ride for Beckham in his first year in Cleveland. Following Sunday's contest, the murmurs that Beckham could be traded once again will undoubtedly grow louder as the offseason approaches.
The 27-year-old wide receiver has expressed his desire to remain in Cleveland beyond the 2019 season. On the other hand, it remains to be seen if the Browns choose to keep Beckham on the roster moving forward.
Provided that, Sunday's showdown with the Bengals could be Beckham's final game with the Browns. Regardless of what happens with Beckham, there seem to be impending changes for the Browns following the final week of the season.
