OBJ went down with a torn ACL during Super Bowl LVI when he was a wide receiver for the Los Angeles Rams. During the game, Beckham caught two of his three targets for 52 yards, including a 17-yard reception from Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford. However, the fateful event happened when he landed awkwardly and hurt his left knee while trying to take a catch. He was then forced to sit out the entire 2022 campaign because of the knee injury. However, the Rams went on to win 23?20 against the Cincinnati Bengals at the SoFi Stadium.

He then signed a one-year contract with the Baltimore Ravens in April. He recorded 116 yards on 4 catches during Thursday Night Football, his best game since the Week 2 game with the?Cleveland Browns in 2019.

This resurgence caught the attention of King James, who in a post-game interview remarked, “I mean you just start from injury… I think at that point he was on his way to a Super Bowl MVP, you know, playing at a high level… and you know to see him go down… like you said the resilience and what he’s done to overcome that injury to being back looking like himself once again.”

He added, “I’m just happy to see him back on the field, though. It’s always good when Odell’s on the field, that’s for sure.” The Ravens will face off against the Los Angeles Chargers on November 26, 2023, marking OBJ’s first game at SoFi Stadium since the injury.
