Coach John Harbaugh suggested Tuesday Beckham could be eased into practices this summer even though he's considered fully healthy.
It sounds like the team plans to limit the overall quantity of Beckham's practice reps rather than restricting the 30-year-old wideout to certain activities. That's probably smart given his extensive injury history, though right now he's actually the healthiest of Baltimore's top wide receivers, as rookie first-round pick Zay Flowers missed some OTA practices with an unspecified injury while Rashod Bateman and Devin Duvernay are both coming back from major foot injuries. QB Lamar Jackson is expected to pass more under new offensive coordinator Todd Monken, who previously coached Beckham in the same role with the Browns in 2019. The combination of health, NFL experience and scheme familiarity could give Beckham a leg up on Baltimore's other wide receivers, though it's fair to wonder if the health part of that equation will hold up.
