Odell Beckham Jr. tests positive for COVID-19

Odell Beckham Jr. helped lift the Rams to a win over the Cardinals on Monday night, catching six passes for 77 yards and a touchdown. But he received some unfortunate news Tuesday, testing positive for COVID-19, according to Josina Anderson of USA TODAY.

Beckham will be the latest Rams player to land on COVID-19 reserve, joining Jalen Ramsey, Tyler Higbee, Darrell Henderson Jr., Dont’e Deayon and Rob Havenstein. All five of those players missed Monday’s game due to COVID-19.

If Beckham is vaccinated, he can be activated off the COVID-19 list after returning two negative tests at least 24 hours apart. He can remain on the reserve list for up to 10 days if he doesn’t return two negative tests.

Unvaccinated players must isolate for 10 days away from the team’s facility, which means if Beckham is not vaccinated, he will miss Sunday’s game against the Seahawks.

In the event that Beckham cannot play in Week 15, the Rams will need Ben Skowronek to step up as the No. 3 receiver alongside Cooper Kupp and Van Jefferson.
