Odell Beckham Jr. will miss six NFL games after testing positive for performance-enhancing drugs last season, delaying his planned return and impacting his free agency prospects.
- On Oct 7, 2025, Odell Beckham Jr. accepted a six-game suspension from the NFL for violating its PED policy, announcing the penalty publicly and delaying his comeback.
- Beckham said he failed a PED test last season with the Miami Dolphins and the league told him `your testosterone levels are too high`, though he denies knowingly taking banned substances.
- After the 2024 season with Miami, Odell Beckham Jr. recorded nine catches for 55 yards in nine games and will turn 33 during the suspension.
- The ban begins this week, making Odell Beckham Jr. ineligible until Week 12, and as a free agent, he can serve the suspension while unsigned, delaying any immediate return.
- The six-game sanction represents the maximum penalty for a first-time PED offender and Beckham's second suspension after a one-game 2015 suspension, reducing his comeback chances despite his three-time Pro Bowler and Super Bowl contribution.
