Report: Browns Expected to Release Odell Beckham Jr., WR Won't Play vs. Bengals

All signs point towards the Browns releasing Odell Beckham Jr. after he was reportedly excused from practice again Thursday and isn't expected to be back in the building the rest of the week, according to ESPN's Kimberley A. Martin.

It's unknown when the expected release will happen, but Martin reported that Beckham Jr. will not suit up on Sunday against the Bengals. The wide receiver was held out of practice Wednesday, three days after a 15-10 loss to the Steelers that could've been his final Browns game.

Head coach Kevin Stefanski reportedly said in a team meeting on Wednesday that the wide receiver is “essentially not on the team right now," according to Michael Silver.
