Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr.'s status for Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars is "up in the air" after he missed Thursday's practice with a hip injury, sources told Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

Beckham's ailment is "not considered a major issue," added Rapoport.

With a vital Week 14 matchup with the NFC-leading Arizona Cardinals upcoming, it's possible the Rams could want to allow Beckham to rest instead of pushing him to play against the 2-9 Jaguars.

The veteran pass-catcher caught his first touchdown for the Rams and produced 81 yards during a loss to the Green Bay Packers last week.

L.A.'s offense is already facing the prospect of playing without running back Darrell Henderson, who also sat out Thursday's session with a thigh injury.

If Beckham is unable to go, Van Jefferson will take on a more prominent role behind Cooper Kupp.
