Odell Beckham Jr. just injured his knee in a non-contact play against the Bengals in the Super Bowl LVI. With Beckham scoring the first touchdown, the Rams were off and running. Unfortunately, the injury proved to be a hindrance. Beckham was ruled out after sustaining what appeared to be a serious injury.
In the instant, before he was about to grab a pass from Matthew Stafford, OBJ fell to the ground holding his knee. Beckham was in a lot of pain and was escorted to the locker room shortly after. The loss of OBJ was a major blow to the Los Angeles Rams, as he was an integral part of their offense. As a result, the coach will have to adjust in order to reduce the severity of the situation.

OBJ has been one of the Rams‘ top receivers this season. Additionally, the Super Bowl was also an enormous deal for him. However, the injury he suffered forced him to miss the most important game of his career. Therefore, the LA Rams will surely miss him as they enter the third quarter against the Bengals. Yet, they still have some firepower in their offense, and their defense is nothing short of impressive. As a result, even without OBJ, the Cincinnati Bengals will face stiff competition from the Los Angeles Rams.
