BEREA, Ohio — Cleveland Browns coach Kevin Stefanski said Wednesday he has already ruled out Browns wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. from playing this weekend against the Houston Texans. Stefanski said that Beckham would keep practicing on a limited basis and had not suffered any setback as he continues to work his way back from the left knee injury. Beckham’s status for Sunday’s season opener at Kansas City came down to a game-time decision. Beckham was sprinting on the field and warming up two hours before the game while testing the knee. But ultimately, he was ruled inactive. Stefanski said that he didn’t want to fall into a pattern where Beckham’s playing status became a weekly game-time decision, like it was on Sunday. Beckham had surgery on the knee after suffering a torn ACL in Week 7 of last season.
