Odell Beckham Jr. had some choice words for a Miami Dolphins fan who was skeptical about his injuries.

Earlier this week, Beckham Jr. hopped on X after a Dolphins fan asked if he was faking his injuries like Will Fuller V, who signed with Miami in 2021 but was injured in Week 4 and has yet to play in the NFL again. Since signing a one-year, $3 million deal with Miami, Beckham Jr. hasn't practiced with the team, nor has he played in a preseason game.

Beckham Jr. was placed on the physically unable-to-perform list to handle "minor things," according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, and some fans are up in arms over his inactivity. However, Beckham isn't paying attention to all the chatter surrounding him.

"Just gotta realize I get more likes in click with my name in a story then without it…," Beckham Jr. tweeted in response to the fan asking if he's faking his injuries. "Ppl really be bored asf…. Name who person who wants to work from 7am/7pm and not get to do the one thing they love. Plz make that make sense. Get the facts straight , mind ya biz."

He added, "Move in silence…. I'll let yall kno next time I gotta take a piss , I didn't kno it was that important to inform u what's goin on."

The seasoned player wasn't done after the fan tried to clear up their statement and said people just want the truth as they've been "used" before. According to Beckham Jr., the Dolphins organization knows what's going on with his status, and that's all that matters.

"Oh nice! Yea I think just keep posting bs for clicks and it should definitely make the answers appear ?," Beckham Jr. tweeted. "Anyways everybody over here kno what's goin on( the team and ppl in this building) time will tell what and how the rest of the story goes. Thanks for ur concerns."

Beckham Jr. has been working his way back to full health since signing with the Dolphins in May. Team head coach Mike McDaniel said on Wednesday that he doesn't see the 2014 Offensive Rookie of the Year to practice this week but would be observed on a "week-to-week" basis.

"What I know Odell doesn't want, is getting on the grass and then leaving it," said McDaniel. "His teammates know that he's working hard because he shows them every day as he gets back on the field where he knows – he didn't sign up for football to be in meetings."

He continued, "Even though my meetings are super entertaining, I don't think that was the case. So he's working his way back to be on the field which is what everyone wants."
