Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network reports that the Dolphins have placed wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr on the PUP list to start training camp. Per Pelissero, Beckham has some minor injuries, and the Dolphins are easing him back slowly.
With Beckham not starting training camp and being unable to be at practice, young wide receivers Malik Washington, Braylon Sanders, Erik Ezukanma, and River Cracraft will have more of an opportunity to win a job. Rookie 7th round pick WR Tahj Washington is on the PUP list as well to begin training camp.

My understanding is Beckham, 31, is working through minor things and this is part of the plan for easing him back into football. pic.twitter.com/T7MQmfQH52
