Beckham (groin) didn't practice Friday due to an illness, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Beckham was already battling a groin injury, but the illness is what appears to be keeping him off the field for the Browns' final practice of the season. It sounds like he could still get some work in behind the scenes Friday, but it's uncertain at this stage if the ailment will affect his chances of taking the field Week 17 against the Bengals.
