Following Odell Beckham Jr.'s first full practice with the Miami Dolphins, wide receivers coach Wes Welker heaped praise on the three-time Pro Bowl receiver, who was happy to be back on the field. "Odell's looked great," Welker told reporters after Thursday's practice.
"You know, just in some of the routes on air and different things like that. He looks like the Odell that we've seen. We're getting him out there, getting him moving around, chemistry with all of the guys in the room.
And with the quarterbacks. And just continue to work the process." Beckham, 31, signed a one-year, $8.
25 million deal with the Dolphins in May, but he missed the first four games of the season after he was placed on the physically unable to perform list with a knee injury. Beckham is eligible to play Sunday against the rival Patriots, but said coach Mike McDaniel will determine if the veteran receiver suits up to face New England in Foxborough, Mass. "It was very exciting for me, it was very .
.. humbling," Beckham told reporters about his first practice.
"I felt very grateful because I remember what it was like when I felt like I couldn't walk. I sure couldn't run, I couldn't work out. Being back out there, being with these guys who put in so much work, it's what I've been waiting on.
"I didn't sign here to come walk around this building. I wanted to be part of something special." Beckham was signed to be a third receiver and complement Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, who lead the Dolphins' receive.
