Odell Beckham Jr. is already feeling comfortable in his new digs.
As Miami’s new receiver works his way back from injuries that landed him on the physically unable to perform list, he took time to clap back at a Dolphins fan who expressed skepticism about his health, referencing the team’s infamous signing of Will Fuller V.
“Lowkey be sooo curious why tf people be so curious about me,” Beckham wrote Wednesday night on X. “Been chillin out the way workin in the dark, and our world still finds a way to just neeed Shxt to get clicks on.”

Fuller inked a one-year, $10.6 million deal with Miami in 2021, but suffered a broken thumb in Week 4 that ended his season. He was not re-signed and has not caught on with another team since.
Beckham followed up with another reply to the same account, indicating that his priority lies with those inside the Dolphins’ facility.
“Oh nice! Yea I think just keep posting bs for clicks and it should definitely make the answers appear ?” Beckham wrote sarcastically . “Anyways everybody over here kno what’s goin on( the team and ppl in this building) time will tell what and how the rest of the story goes. Thanks for ur concerns.”
The 31-year-old signed a one-year, $3 million deal with Miami this offseason but is yet to practice or play in a preseason game as the regular season inches closer.
“He’s working his way back to being on the field,” head coach Mike McDaniel said on Wednesday.
The former Rookie of the Year didn’t look as dynamic during his year-long stint with the Ravens in 2023, finishing with 35 catches for 565 yards and three touchdowns while playing in 14 games.

After winning Super Bowl 56 with the Rams — a game in which he caught a touchdown but tore his ACL — Beckham hasn’t truly matched the scintillating level of play from early in his career.
The three-time Pro Bowler missed all of the 2022 season as he recovered from the injury and figures to be a tertiary option for Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa behind the likes of Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle.
In fact, Beckham hasn’t amassed even 45 catches or 600 yards in a season since 2019 with the Browns.

Miami has two preseason games remaining — against the Commanders on Saturday and the Buccaneers on Aug. 23 — before starting the regular season against the Jaguars on Sept. 8.
