From Zach Fogelman (@FogelmanZach): Is OBJ back to the Rams a definite?
Zach, I think it’s a possibility, not a definite. With Allen Robinson and Van Jefferson there as complements to Cooper Kupp, and a couple developmental types (Ben Skowronek, Tutu Atwell) in the hopper, the Rams don’t have an enormous pressing need at the position. And while last year’s freak injury to Robert Woods shows that you can’t have too much depth at the position, it’s fair to assume other receivers will be available between now and the Nov. 1 deadline, if another emergency arises on the roster.
So the Rams are taking their time and Odell Beckham Jr., who probably won’t be ready to play until December, is too. If another team gets eyes for Beckham and offers him something worth jumping after, to get him to rehab with them and return near the end of the season, then, well, that’s the risk the Rams are running by not going overboard to get him back now. But the signing of Robinson is a pretty decent indicator that they wanted to be prepared for the possibility he’s not on the 2022 team all along.
