Odell Beckham Jr. accepted a six-game NFL suspension for a banned substance, starting immediately, and will be eligible to return in Week 12 of 2025.

Odell Beckham Jr. has accepted a six-game NFL suspension after testing positive for a banned substance during the 2024 season while with the Miami Dolphins, the league confirmed. The 32-year-old wide receiver, who played nine games last season with career-low stats of nine receptions for 55 yards, said he did not knowingly use performance-enhancing drugs. The suspension, which begins immediately, makes him eligible to return in Week 12 of the 2025 season. Despite expressing interest in continuing his career, his chances of rejoining an NFL team are seen as slim due to declining performance, injury history, and strong alternatives available.
