Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. left Thursday night's game against the Cincinnati Bengals with a shoulder injury, the latest setback in a string of injuries for the star player. Beckham was injured after a 51-yard catch and run from quarterback Lamar Jackson, which set up the Ravens' fourth touchdown of the night. The injury occurred when Bengals linebacker Logan Wilson tackled Beckham from behind.

Beckham, who had already surpassed 100 receiving yards in the game, was seen wearing a harness to support his left shoulder prior to the injury. After going to the X-ray room for further evaluation, the Ravens listed Beckham as questionable to return. However, late in the game, Beckham was seen without his pads and uniform, indicating that his night was over.

This unfortunate injury adds to Beckham's recent run of bad luck with injuries. He missed the entire 2022 season due to a knee surgery and entered Thursday night's game with only 258 receiving yards on the season.

In the post-game interview, Beckham expressed his frustration but remained optimistic about his recovery, saying, "Happy we got a little weekend to recover. I'm gonna need it."

The injury to Beckham also raises concerns for the Ravens' offense moving forward. Tight end Mark Andrews was unable to return to the game after suffering an injury earlier, further weakening the team's receiving options. With Beckham and Andrews potentially sidelined, wide receivers Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman could see increased playing time and become viable options for fantasy football owners. Additionally, running back Isaiah Likely may have an expanded role in the offense.

As fans and analysts await a complete breakdown of Beckham's injury, the Ravens will surely be hoping for a speedy recovery for their talented wide receiver. In the meantime, the team will have to adjust their offensive strategy to compensate for his absence.
