Odell Beckham, Jr. is adding a subplot to Monday night's Cleveland Browns-New York Jets game.

Beckham accused Jets defensive coordinator Gregg Williams of teaching "cheap shots" and "dirty hits." The receiver said those cheap shots led to an ankle injury that almost derailed his career two years ago.

"If I was a coach, I would never teach what he teaches," he said. "But that's just him and what he does."

In a 2017 preseason game, when Beckham was with the New York Giants and Williams was Cleveland's defensive coordinator, Beckham sprained his ankle after being undercut by cornerback Briean Boddy-Calhoun, who drove his shoulder and helmet into the star receiver's left leg.

Beckham tried to come back from that injury too soon and ultimately broke his ankle.

The star receiver said that according to his Cleveland teammates, Williams, who eventually became Cleveland's interim head coach last year before taking a job with the Jets, actually told the Browns players to try to hurt Beckham during that 2017 preseason game.

"I had people who were here when he was here telling [them], 'If you get a chance, take a shot at him. If you can, hurt him. I guarantee he's going to leave the game hurt,' and stuff like that," Beckham said. "We're all men out here. There's no need for doing any of that kind of stuff. Make the plays the best you can clean."

The girlfriend of Chris Smith was killed on Wednesday morning on a highway in Cleveland.

Smith had pulled over after his vehicle, a 2019 Lamborghini in which Petara Cordero, 26, was a passenger, had a tire malfunction and hit the median.

Cordero exited the vehicle and was standing on the road's shoulder when a car driven by a 47-year-old woman smashed into the passenger side of Smith's car.

Cordero was pronounced dead at a local hospital. Smith and Cordero had a daughter together last month.

Odell Beckham Jr. plans to continue wearing his Richard Mille watch during games despite objections from the NFL.

“I’m here to play football,’’ Beckham said Tuesday. “I would love for them to talk about football and what I do on the field, if I messed up on the field or if I didn’t do well on the field, talk about my performance. Don’t talk about any extracurricular, that’s just it. If anybody else would’ve worn the watch, or if it was a $20 watch, it wouldn’t have been no problem.’’

The watch retails for approximately $190,000.

Beckham tweeted on Monday night, “If it ain’t one thing…it’s another.’’

He said the tweet was in response to the watch flap.

“Yeah, that’s just my life,’’ he said. “If I ain’t this, it’s something else. If it wasn’t the watch, it would’ve been the way that I tie my shoes.’’

Beckham was asked if he'll still wear it during the game.

“The same way I wear it every day, at practice, I go here, I go there. I’ve been wearing it. Take a shower with it on. It’s just on me."

Odell Beckham violated an NFL rule in the Cleveland Browns' Week 1 loss to the Tennessee Titans.

Beckham wore a Richard Mille watch valued at $350,000 during the game.

A league rule prohibits wearing hard objects, according to sources.

The league will address the infraction with Beckham, but no discipline is expected.

Antonio Brown had a "robust" market once he was released by the Oakland Raiders, according to his agent Drew Rosenhaus.

The Patriots were a "fait accompli" soon after his release however.

The Cleveland Browns and Seattle Seahawks were amongst the teams interested in Brown. Brown worked out with Russell Wilson this offseason.

HBO will air a documentary called Belichick & Saban: The Art of Coaching this December on Bill Belichick and Nick Saban.

Belichick and Saban coached together with the Cleveland Browns.

Belichick has gone on to win six Super Bowls while Saban has won six national championships.

The two coaches first met in 1982, when Saban was an assistant coach at Navy, working alongside Belichick’s father.
