Odell Beckham Jr. is taking an online hiatus.

The Cleveland Browns star receiver said Wednesday that he's checking out of social media for the next week-and-a-half to focus on preparing for training camp.

"Going away till July 1st for trainin'," Beckham posted on his Instagram story, according to Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com

"Don't hit me, unless it's beyond urgent. Preciate the love always. Time to lock in!! #BootCamp see y'all soooon."

Beckham added that he'll work out with Baker Mayfield, Jarvis Landry, and others in Los Angeles ahead of camp, which is set to begin July 25.

This isn't Beckham's first break from social media; he said he was "going dark" in March after his shock trade from the New York Giants, but he returned less than a week later.

Beckham skipped voluntary organized team activities in May, and head coach Freddie Kitchens said the wideout missed "a lot" by sitting out.

He returned for the Browns' mandatory minicamp in early June and described himself as "giddy" about the prospect of playing in Cleveland's talent-rich offense.
