WATCH: Freddie Kitchens is missing OBJ at OTAs

Odell Beckham Jr.’s attendance at Cleveland Browns OTAs was “no problem,” according to head coach Freddie Kitchens back in late April.

Then in mid-May, when OBJ made Day 1 of voluntary OTAs and then missed Day 2 (and then some), Kitchens defended the wide receiver and explained that the player and the organization were on the same page in terms of what the expectations were for the star.

Now, Beckham has missed eight practices in a row and is missing “A lot… the offense,” according to Kitchens on Thursday. The coach says he wants to be able to see the team compete and come together and seeing Beckham has a part of that would help the offseason development.

Browns mandatory minicamp begins next week and there is no indication at this point that Beckham will not be present.
