According to Fox Sports's Jay Glazer, Beckham has been telling players and coaches "come get me out of here" before and during games.

As the three-time Pro Bowler will continue to play through his sports hernia this season, he has not made a decision whether to undergo surgery in the offseason, per ESPN's Josina Anderson.
