Beckham remains on track to suit up for Monday's game against the 49ers, but he's expected to make his Rams debut in "limited fashion," Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Because Beckham only turned in one practice with his new team after signing a one-year deal Thursday, the Rams aren't eager to overextended him in his first game. That being said, Pelissero adds that Beckham's snap count is likely to grow in coming weeks, especially after the Rams lost fellow wideout Robert Woods (knee) to a season-ending ACL tear in Friday's practice. Even so, both Pelissero and Jay Glazer of Fox Sports note that because he doesn't play the same position at receiver as Woods, Beckham won't be a direct replacement in the starting lineup -- at least not for Week 10. Instead, rookie Ben Skowronek is in line to start for Woods on Monday, but expect head coach Sean McVay to find a way to get Beckham, Cooper Kupp and Van Jefferson on the field together regularly once Beckham has full command of the Rams playbook. Adam Schefter of ESPN also reports that Beckham could be deployed as a punt returner for the Rams, though it would likely be as part of a timeshare with Kupp.
