Video: Dolphins' Tua Discusses Lack of Reps with Odell Beckham Jr. Amid WR's Injury

The Miami Dolphins have a new wide receiver in their offense this year, but he has yet to get any reps with his new team since signing.

Odell Beckham Jr. has been dealing with a knee injury all offseason, and quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was candid about the lack of on-field chemistry they've been able to form.

"Off the field, I've been able to hang out with him a good amount of times. Cool dude, 100 percent," Tagovailoa said. "But does our relationship translate on the field? I couldn't tell you because I haven't gotten reps with him, and that's just the honest truth. Now, if O is on the PUP list, he clears everything and we're able to get out there, that's one of the first things that I want to do. I want to make sure I get as many reps with him. He's going to go in for this rep, let's make sure this guy gets the ball."

After the Dolphins' preseason game on Friday, head coach Mike McDaniel expressed that he's not nervous about Beckham missing significant time and praised the veteran for finding ways to contribute while sidelined.

"I'm hopeful about a lot of things," McDaniel said, per the Palm Beach Post's Joe Schad. "Again, I'm not nervous about it. You hope, but you have to listen to people's bodies and be very communicative. I know he's feeling very optimistic about how things are developing, but you just take one day at a time. And like I said before, I'm not in a position of nervousness because of the way that he's been involved. He's found a way to be a leader of sorts without playing. That's tough to do, but his mindset's right, and so I feel good about that."

Last season with the Baltimore Ravens, Beckham had 565 receiving yards and three touchdowns on 35 receptions. While he's not the prolific 1,000+ yard receiver he was with the New York Giants, he's looking to revitalize his career with one of the best offenses in the NFL.

The Dolphins could choose to place Beckham on the physically unable to perform list or the non-football injury list, but doing so would mean he would have to miss the first four games of the season.

Luckily for Miami, it has a strong receiving core highlighted by Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, so Beckham being out to start the season wouldn't necessarily be detrimental to the offense.
