Odell Beckham Injury News

On Sunday, the team suffered a devastating 27-22 home loss to the Los Angeles Chargers to extend their winless record to 0-5. The Chargers had also been undefeated entering Sunday’s game and are now 1-4.

With four minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, as New York led 22-20, wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. went down with an ankle injury while attempting to make a catch over cornerback Casey Howard. Beckham was thus carted off the field.

Beckham’s injury was reported as a broken fibula, and followed those of three other Giants wideouts: Dwayne Harris, Sterling Shepard and newly-acquired Jets star Brandon Marshall.

Shepard and Marshall also both sustained ankle injuries and were ruled out before halftime. Harris exited shortly after the break with a foot injury and did not return.

Beckham scored a 48-yard touchdown early in the fourth quarter to put the Giants up 22-17:

The Giants are now in danger of missing this year’s playoffs as only one of three winless teams in the NFL: the other two 0-5 squads are the San Francisco 49ers and the Cleveland Browns.

McAdoo’s team next visit the Denver Broncos (3-1) on Sunday, when the Chargers (1-4, 4th in AFC West) visit the Oakland Raiders.
