ESPN reported the Cowboys doubt Beckham is completely recovered
from the torn left ACL he sustained in the Super Bowl after the
30-year-old wide receiver met with team physicians on Monday.
According to the report, the concern is specific to when Beckham
might be available to play before mid-January, or even until the
2023 season.
On his weekly radio show with 105.3 FM in Dallas, Cowboys owner
Jerry Jones said he is "not confident at all" about signing
Beckham until he sees him work out.
Beckham was at the team facility Monday, then spent Monday night
with linebacker Micah Parsons and cornerback Trevon Diggs at the
Dallas Mavericks game using Jones' courtside seats. He was
scheduled to meet with quarterback Dak Prescott on Tuesday.
Prescott has been openly lobbying for the Cowboys to sign
Beckham.
Jones said he "enjoyed every minute" the team has had with
Beckham so far and promised to keep the dialogue with him
active. Beckham also met with the Buffalo Bills and New York
Giants.
"Now, we all realize that issue of health, that issue of
availability is here every time. Just this one is very obvious
and very pointed toward his injury that occurred last year in
the Super Bowl. We got a good bead on that," Jones said. "We got
a great read on his career. It's not like a draft pick coming at
you. You got a lot of history here and you can take a good look
at, not only the obvious and that's his performance, but also
any issues regarding health. So, all of this we got to come in
with our eyes wide open and it has to be addressed, and that's
when you can see if you can make a deal or not."
A three-time Pro Bowler, Beckham has 531 career catches for
7,367 yards and 56 touchdowns in 96 games with the Giants
(2014-18), Cleveland Browns (2019-21) and Rams (2021).
