Beckham is dealing with a Grade 3 AC joint sprain of his shoulder, but he remains hopeful to make enough progress to be a game-time decision and eventually gain clearance for Thursday's contest against the Broncos, Josina Anderson of USA Today reports.
The shoulder injury likely had a hand in Beckham logging a season-low 55 percent of the Browns' offensive snaps in the Week 6 loss to the Cardinals before he was listed as a non-participant on Cleveland's first two practice reports for Week 7. The quick turnaround for the game against the Broncos could make it difficult for Beckham to suit up, but the Browns will see what he's able to do on the field at Wednesday's practice -- if anything -- before giving him a designation for Thursday. Even if Beckham suits up, he might be catching passes from a new quarterback, as Case Keenum could be in line to start with Baker Mayfield tending to a completely torn labrum of his left non-throwing shoulder.
