Odell Beckham Jr. Scary Super Bowl Knee Injury Prompted Niners DE Nick Bosa Comes in Support of Natural Grass Over Artificial Turf
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.
