Odell Beckham Jr.

Odell Beckham (undisclosed) is not running in Dolphins practices.

Tua Tagovailoa told reporters this week that he has only done “spot catching” with Beckham since OBJ, 31, signed with Miami in early May, allowing the veteran wideout to get used to Tagovailoa throws. Beckham, placed on the active/PUP list in late July, is dealing with an undisclosed injury. Tua said there remained uncertainty about how Beckham would be used in the Dolphins offense this season. “I’ve got to see him catching and running routes with our guys first and getting into the mix first before I can say anything,” Tagovailoa said. Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said Wednesday that he was hesitant to get Beckham on the field for fear of a setback to whatever injury he’s dealing with. It would hardly be a shock if rookie Malik Washington started the season as Miami’s WR3. Washington was targeted on four of his 15 pass routes last week against the Falcons.
