After tearing his ACL in early stages of the Los Angeles Rams Super Bowl LVI win over the Cincinnati Bengal two seasons ago, Odell Beckham Jr.'s path back to the NFL has been an uncertain one.

However, that all changed on Sunday, with Beckham finally finding his way back onto a roster, signing a one-year deal with the Baltimore Ravens, according to reports.

Beckham, who hasn't played a game since his injury in the Super Bowl win with LA, had been rumored to be connected to multiple teams over the last few months, including the Cowboys, Bills, Rams, and many others.

However, it was ultimately the Ravens that won out, with Beckham now set to join a talented receiver corps alongside Rashod Bateman and Nelson Agholor.

During his time in L.A., Beckham shined as the Rams' No. 2 receiver opposite Offensive Player of the Year Cooper Kupp, becoming a go-to name for quarterback Matthew Stafford, and recording six touchdowns from inside the 20-yard line.

Rams' general manager Les Snead told reporters following the 23-20 win that the team would look at retaining Beckham despite the injury.

At the time, he was projected to return late into the season, and Snead said Beckham would serve as having a "fresh set of legs" before a postseason push.

However, that never happened, and unfortunately for Beckham, his market began to shrink due to concerns surrounding his injury, among other off-field incidents.

Now, however, Beckham has his second chance.

And he will look to make it count with the Ravens.
