The Los Angeles Rams were dealt a serious blow at halftime.
Odell Beckham Jr. is unlikely to return to the game, head coach Sean McVay told NBC, after sustaining a non-contact injury to his left knee late in the second quarter.
On a second-and-9 from the Los Angeles 45, Matthew Stafford tried to find Beckham, but the wide receiver could not hang onto the ball as he went to the ground grabbing his left knee — the same knee he had torn his ACL last season.
Beckham had already hauled in a touchdown pass and was the team’s leading receiver with 52 yards on two catches at the time of the injury.
As Beckham went down and news that he would not return began to circulate, fans were disappointed to learn Beckham would not be back.
Many, including current and former players, were quick to highlight the role artificial turf may have played in the injury.
