Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr.'s status in the Rams' upcoming matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday is up in the air. This comes after developments were released following Wednesday's practice, wherein Beckham Jr. was limited by a hip pointer injury. The Rams have had some trouble managing their bench lately, as Darrell Henderson and David Long both did not practice—the former sitting out due to a quad injury and the latter being sidelined due to an illness. Meanwhile, fellow wide receiver Ben Skowronek also practiced at a limited capacity due to back issues.
Ian Rapoport shines some light on Beckham Jr.'s injury developments:
#Rams WR Odell Beckham Jr. did not practice yesterday with a hip injury, and his status for Sunday is now up in the air, source said. He was limited Wednesday, but DNP Thursday. It’s not considered a major issue, but some questions for this week about his availability.

In an interview with USAToday.com, Rams coach Sean McVay touched on Beckham Jr.'s pending status approaching Sunday's game.
“He did a nice job, I continue to say it but for him to be able to play as many snaps and do as many different things as he is on such a short amount of time that we’ve been together — I think it’s a real credit to his football acumen and how smart he is.”
While Beckham Jr.'s journey throughout the season has been a rocky one, originally starting the season with the Cleveland Browns and before signing a 1-year deal with the Rams. Beckham Jr. has played two games for the Rams so far, good for one touchdown, and 99 yards received—a somewhat underwhelming start for many Rams fans. As Beckham Jr.'s status in the Rams' upcoming Sunday showdown against the Jaguars is still uncertain, it's safe to say that Rams fans are still waiting for OBJ to catch fire.
