Cleveland Browns receiver Odell Beckham Jr. will suit up for Thursday night's contest against the Denver Broncos despite not practicing all week due to a shoulder injury, the club announced.

Beckham was listed as questionable coming into the matchup but participated in pregame workouts before being declared active.

The star wideout will be a boost for a Browns squad that has been devastated by injuries. Cleveland will be starting Case Keenum at quarterback with Baker Mayfield sidelined due to a shoulder ailment. Additionally, Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt are also out, leaving D'Ernest Johnson as the starter at running back.

Jarvis Landry will join Beckham on the field after being activated off injured reserve earlier Thursday.

Beckham has recorded 203 receiving yards across four games this season but is still in search of his first touchdown of the campaign. Meanwhile, the 3-3 Browns are seeking to end a two-game skid.
