After recovering from his ACL injury, Odell Beckham Jr. signed a one-year, $15 million deal with the Baltimore Ravens this past offseason. Injuries have been a constant issue in Beckham's career, and the same thing has happened so far in Baltimore.
After having already missed two games earlier this season due to an ankle injury, the Ravens wideout got it once again in Week 8. He took a hit from Arizona Cardinals safety Budda Baker in the third quarter and left the game due to a stomach contusion.
Will he play in Week 9 against the Seattle Seahawks? Let's take a look at Beckham's injury status.

Is Odell Beckham Jr. Playing in Week 9?
As per the latest update, the Baltimore Ravens did not add Odell Beckham Jr. to the injury report. He is likely to practice during the week and will be available to face the Seahawks on Sunday.
The Ravens are 6-2 on the season and have the joint-best record in the AFC with the Miami Dolphins and the Kansas City Chiefs. Beckham was brought in to help Lamar Jackson's transition to becoming a better thrower of football, and despite not scoring a touchdown this season, the 30-year-old wide receiver has complimented Zay Flowers well.
It is still quite early in the season, and going forward, if he stays healthy, Beckham is expected to get better. Fortuitously for him, he has avoided a serious injury after taking a big hit this past week.
Odell Beckham Jr. Fantasy Football Injury Outlook
In the six games that he has played this season, Beckham has recorded 14 receptions for 162 yards. He is averaging 27 receiving yards per game and 11.6 yards per reception, for an average of 4.3 targets per game.
His output has been underwhelming, but as mentioned above, we could see him getting better throughout the season, just like he did during his time with the Los Angeles Rams. The RotoBaller staff has him currently ranked #55 among the wide receivers heading into Week 9. It will be interesting to see how Beckham matches up against Tariq Woolen and Devon Witherspoon, as they will be a tough matchup for him.
Although the Seahawks have a pretty good secondary, they are allowing an average of 234.3 passing yards per game this season; hence, their defense could be exploited if Lamar Jackson continues to play well.
