Free agent wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. had a private workout for NFL clubs in Phoenix on Friday, looking to prove he’s recovered from a knee injury suffered during Super Bowl LVI. The Kansas City Chiefs were among the 11 or so teams in attendance for the practice.
The Chiefs were considered a “strong candidate” to sign Beckham Jr. for the 2022 NFL season, but nothing came of it since his knee injury prevented him from joining a club. It was one of the reasons he had a private workout, to let teams know he was ready to return to play.
Teams represented at Odell Beckham Jr.’s private workout in Arizona today included the Panthers, Giants, Patriots, Rams, Cardinals, 49ers, Bills, Chiefs, Vikings, Browns and Ravens, per source.

Beckham caught 44 catches for 537 yards and five scores with the Los Angeles Rams in 2021 en route to Super Bowl LVI. The 30-year-old wideout hasn’t had a 1,000-yard season since the 2019 season with the Cleveland Browns.
He appeared to be interested in Kansas City last year, but like with other NFL decisions, his free agency perspective will be influenced by finances.
