LANDOVER, Md. — Saquon Barkley said he believed “something happened’’ to Odell Beckham Jr. during Friday’s practice that led to the star receiver not making the trip and missing Sunday’s 40-16 rout of the Redskins at FedEx Field. Beckham was left home with a bruised quad muscle.
Coach Pat Shurmur said Beckham missing his first game this season came as a surprise after Beckham practiced most of the week.
“This has been a thing that has been lingering,’’ Shurmur said. “He was further evaluated on Friday and came in Saturday and it was pretty evident that he couldn’t play.
