“If I had to guess, I think they’re really going to try and get him the ball this week and get him to be the player he’s proven to be,” Scott said, according to Geoff Hobson of Bengals.com. “But we’ve got great lockdown corners on the outside with Chido and Cam, (Taylor-Britt) and DJ. It should be fun.”
Beckham only had two catches for 37 yards in his Ravens debut last week, but it feels like a matter of time before he really gets going.
