New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. left the field on a cart Sunday afternoon with a fractured left ankle.
The former LSU receiver grimaced in pain with what appeared to be a gruesome injury late in the Giants’ game against the Los Angeles Chargers.
Beckham Jr. clearly had tears in his eyes while being taken off the field, signaling the possible severity of this injury.
It was a tough day overall for the Giants. They lost two other top receivers before Beckham Jr. went down, and the Chargers ended up winning the game 27-22. The Giants fell to 0-5 on the season.
