BEREA, Ohio — Odell Beckham Jr. has played all season with a groin injury, and now he’s in jeopardy of missing the season finale in Cincinnati with a flu-like illness.

Beckham, who came down with it on Friday, is listed as questionable for the Bengals game.

It’s significant, because he needs 46 yards to reach 1,000, a consolation prize in this disappointing season. If Beckham reaches 1,000, he and Jarvis Landry will have both done so despite fighting through injuries that might require surgery in the offseason. Landry has struggled with a hip injury that resulted from a fractured sacrum in his lower back in the spring.

“We ask a lot of those guys, and they continue to bring it and give it to us every day,’’ Baker Mayfield said. “I’m thankful for those guys. Obviously, they both had good years. People can say what they want about Odell’s year on the outside, but hopefully, after this week he has over 1,000 yards, we have two guys over 1,000 yards and a couple of Pro Bowlers (in Landry and Nick Chubb).”

Beckham is one of seven Browns players who are questionable. The others are tight end Pharaoh Brown, who also sat with an illness, tackle Kendall Lamm (knee), tight end Ricky Seals-Jones, who sat out Wednesday and Thursday with an illness but returned on a limited basis on Friday, defensive tackle Sheldon Richardson (back), center JC Tretter (knee), and Olivier Vernon (knee).

Coach Freddie Kitchens said he wasn’t sure if it’s the flu that has felled Beckham and others.

“I know some of them are getting tested right now to see, but we’ll see how it goes at the end of the week,’’ he said.

If Beckham’s case is as bad as Seal-Jones’, he might miss the game. Seals missed two full days and was still on the mend Friday.

“I think you’re always concerned about (it spreading), but some of it we can control and some of it we can’t,’’ Kitchens said.

Wilks says Freddie Kitchens ’without a doubt definitely is the guy for the job'

Will he have a “sick plane’’ for the ailing players?

“I don’t know about that – maybe a car,’’ Kitchens said with a laugh. “Hopefully, we don’t need a plane for it.”

He hasn’t yet decided if Beckham and the others will travel to Cincinnati on Saturday in hopes that they’ll be ready to go by Sunday.

“We’re going to have enough to line up and play,’’ he said. “We haven’t gotten that far yet. Some of that just happened today so we will see. They may be feeling better tonight. We just have to monitor and see. You can get better at any moment.”

Considering that Beckham and Landry have played through injuries, Kitchens is confident Beckham will do whatever he can to play on Sunday.

“I think just in general, both of those guys want to be out there for their teammates,'' he said. "They’ve done a good job of pushing through it at times and getting out there and competing. Anytime you like to compete, you can overcome a lot.”

Beckham missing practice on Friday means he’s won’t have many reps heading into the game. He mostly rests on Wednesday and Thursday, and then turns it up on the final full day. But nothing is guaranteed for the 1,000 yards anyway. In the first meeting against the Bengals, he caught only two passes for 39 yards.

He’s tied for 24th in the NFL with 71 receptions and 27th with 954 yards. He has only three touchdown passes, his fewest by far in a full season.

No rest for the sore

Kitchens said he has no plans to rest some of the players with nagging injuries just because it’s the final game.

“You have 16 games,’’ he said. “I do not buy into that. No.”

He said the Browns will try as hard to win this game as any other.

“I think just continuing to go out and putting our best foot forward from the standpoint of how we execute and you leave individually and collectively with a good feeling about what we can do moving forward,’’ Kitchens said. “That’s really all you can do. Nothing has really changed other than the fact that after the game, we will not be in the playoffs. You still want to go out and perform your best.’’

Sheldon Richardson fined

Richardson said he was fined $42,000 for shoving Lamar Jackson during the 31-15 loss to the Ravens. It was his third for unnecessary roughness this season, but he won his appeal on the second one, against Denver’s Brandon Allen. He will also appeal this one.

Olivier Vernon has a chance

Kitchens said Vernon, who’s missed six of the last seven games with his knee injury, might play.

“Yeah, there’s definitely a chance,’’ he said. “He’s trying to work through it now, and we’ll see what we get on Sunday.”
