NFL Rumors: LA Rams Fear Torn ACL for OBJ
After scoring the first touchdown over Super Bowl LVI, Odell Beckham Jr's night would soon be over as the star wide out twisted his knee running a route in the second quarter. Non-contact injuries are always feared the worst and in this case it appears that's exactly what happened as the Los Angeles Rams are expecting the MRI to reveal a torn ACL.
Beckham finished his night with two receptions and 52 yards and impacted the game in the quarter and a half he suited up for. It's absolutely gut-wrenching news as this is the same knee he tore the ACL of during the 2020 season while playing for the Cleveland Browns.

The three-time Pro Bowl wide receiver was signed by the Rams for the remainder of the season and it was certainly a resurgence to OBJ's career. He was a beast down the stretch and gave the Rams a double-headed monster with fellow WR Cooper Kupp. Beckham would finish the regular season with 27 catches for 305 yards and five scores.
It's likely Beckham will miss the entire 2022 campaign, however look for the Rams to re-sign him regardless of the injury. They enjoyed working with him and he loved it in LA. Winning heals everything, prayers up for OBJ and can't wait to see him come back even stronger in 2023.
