Super Bowl Shocker: Odell Beckham Jr Suffers Unfortunate Injury After Scoring His First Super Bowl TD

Published 02/13/2022, 9:25 PM EST

The receiver who scored the first touchdown for the Rams has been carried to the locker room. Odell Beckham Jr just injured his knee in a non-contact play during the Super Bowl LVI. OBJ was off to a fantastic start when he suffered a scary knee injury in the second quarter against the Cincinnati Bengals.

With the Rams leading 13-10, OBJ ran a route across the middle and appeared to sustain a non-contact knee injury. Beckham was about to secure a pass from Stafford when he fell to the ground, holding his knees. As a result, he was escorted to the locker room and has not yet come out. The details are sketchy, but the injury looked quite serious, and it is not known if he will play.

Beckham scored the first points for the Los Angeles Rams, giving them an ideal start. He has been one of the key players for the Rams this season. This season, he has recorded 44 receptions for 537 yards and five touchdowns. In addition, his performance against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the NFC Championship was his best of the season. Therefore, just in time for the playoffs as OBJ was to take over SoFi stadium, an injury put a stop to his action.

Considering OBJ’s importance to the Rams offense, his departure comes as an enormous blow. However, they will have to adjust and get back to the game full steam. Bengals are known for their comebacks in the 2nd quarter; however, the Rams have a formidable defense. Therefore, there is a high probability that the match will provide everyone with an exciting experience.
