Odell Beckham Jr. Ruled Out of Super Bowl LVI After Knee Injury

The Rams WR went from the medical tent to the locker room after suffering a possible knee injury during a no-contact play.

Odell Beckham Jr. went from scoring the first touchdown in Super Bowl LVI to being ruled out after injuring his knee. 

On a second-and-9 during the second quarter, Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford threw a short dart to the wide receiver. Beckham was wide open, but seemingly dropped the ball as he fell, reaching to his left knee in the process.

He went to the medical tent and then to the locker room. The Rams tweeted soon after that the wide receiver was questionable to return, citing his knee. The franchise then ruled Beckham out during the third quarter.  

He tore his ACL during the 2020 season while with the Browns, landing himself on injured reserve, and missed the remainder of the season. That game was also against the Bengals.
