Odell Beckham Jr. signed with the Miami Dolphins earlier this offseason but he has not been able to practice with the team as he remains on the team’s Physically Unable to Perform list. It’s a pretty brutal situation that undoubtedly has fans concerned, but it doesn’t sound like head coach Mike McDaniel shares that concern.
During a recent press conference, Mike McDaniel said he’s “not nervous” about the fact that Odell Beckham Jr. has not been able to practice with the team just yet.
“I’m hopeful about a lot of things, again I’m not nervous about it,” McDaniel told reporters after the team’s preseason finale this week according to Pro Football Talk. “You hope, but you have to listen to people’s bodies and be very communicative. I know he’s feeling very optimistic about how things are developing, but you just take it one day at a time. Like I said before, I’m not at a position of nervousness because of the way he’s been involved. He’s found a way to be a leader of sorts without playing, that’s tough to do but his mindset is right, so I feel good about that.”
While he doesn’t sound worried, McDaniel would obviously like to have Beckham at practice sooner rather than later as they try to prepare for the upcoming season.
