Cleveland Browns rule out Odell Beckham Jr. against Houston Texans

BEREA, Ohio -- Cleveland Browns coach Kevin Stefanski said Wednesday he has already ruled out Browns wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. from playing this weekend against the Houston Texans.

Stefanski said that Beckham would keep practicing on a limited basis and had not suffered any setback as he continues to work his way back from the left knee injury.

"But felt like it made more sense to have clarity in the week from a game-planning standpoint," Stefanski added, in making the call ahead of time.

Beckham's status for Sunday's season opener at Kansas City came down to a game-time decision.
