Ravens WR Odell Beckham Jr. Considers 2023 A 'Reset' Season

By the time kickoff comes around for the Ravens on Sunday, it will have been 574 days since wideout Odell Beckham Jr. has seen action in a football game.

By the time kickoff comes around for the Ravens on Sunday, it will have been 574 days since wideout Odell Beckham Jr. has seen action in a football game. That, of course, was Super Bowl LVI, and Beckham suffered a torn ACL during the Rams' 23-20 win over the Bengals.

That injury cost Beckham Jr. the entire 2022 season, although he flirted with a comeback during the season with teams like Buffalo, Dallas and Baltimore. But a deal was never reached with any team, which left OBJ's career in question.

In April, Beckham finally struck a deal with Baltimore and now he's slated to return to the league on Sunday - a day that can't come soon enough for him per Around the NFL. 

"The whole thing feels like a reset for me," Beckham said on Wednesday ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Texans. "There's been a lot of like déjà vu moments of little things happened. It just kind of feels reminiscent of my rookie year in a sense -- just the feeling of the excitement that I have to play football and just a new opportunity, a new life. So I don't know what to expect, but I'm excited."

Health will be the biggest concern for the three-time Pro Bowler, and if it's not an issue, OBJ and the Ravens could be a match made in heaven. Beckham joins quarterback Lamar Jackson -who is playing with a new contract - and new additions Zay Flowers and Nelson Agholor. Flowers arrives as the first-round pick of the Ravens, and Agholor signed in the offseason as a free-agent acquisition.

Running back J.K. Dobbins will add to the offensive firepower after returning from injury, and also adds to the anticipation for Ravens Flock. Beckham Jr. isn't the only one excited for the season to begin. Sunday can't come soon enough.
