Ian Rapoport stated on The Pat McAfee Show that Beckham had surgery to repair his knee in the winter.

The knee was a concern because it was not 100 percent healthy, as Rapoport said of the Los Angeles Rams signing Beckham during the season.
The wideout tore his left knee while playing for Cleveland and missed the final nine games of the 2020 season. He was a member of the Rams when they played in the Super Bowl.
On February 23, Beckham posted that surgery was a success.
Beckham is expected to return by early November, according to Rapoport.
The veteran could make a bigger impact if he comes back at full strength.
Beckham scored five touchdown in eight games with the Rams and two more in the playoffs, including the first score of the game in the Super Bowl. He only averaged 38.4 receiving yards per game over 14 appearances with the Rams and Cleveland.
His career average was 76.7 yards per game, but this was about half of that.
If Beckham can return to his previous Pro Bowl caliber production, he could be a steal in free agency.
