Browns' Odell Beckham: Likely out for Friday

Beckham (hip) isn't practicing Wednesday and isn't likely to play in Friday's preseason game at Tampa Bay, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Beckham's bruised hip first cropped up a week ago, holding Beckham out of each subsequent practice as well as a preseason win over Washington. He downplayed the injury last week, saying he'd be fine to play if it were the regular season. Beckham's continued absence should free up extra first-team reps Friday for some combination of Rashard Higgins, Jaelen Strong and Derrick Willies.
