WATCH: Odell Beckham leaves game with ankle injury, collapses outside locker room

Following a scary low hit against the Browns, Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham left the game with an injury.
Beckham walked off the field under his own power, but as you can see in the video below, he collapsed in pain outside the locker room and had to be helped by a medical staffer.
With defensive backs being taught to go low on wide receivers, unfortunate hits like this can be expected. Beckham didn’t like the hit and was visibly upset at Browns’ safety Briean Boddy-Calhoun.
Here’s the “controversial” hit on Beckham, as Jon Gruden states in the clip:
