Prior to the injury, Beckham went over 100 yards in a regular-season game for the first time since Week 6 of the 2019 season.
The Amazon Prime broadcast team noted that Beckham was already wearing a harness to support his left shoulder, which he appeared to injure on Thursday night. While the Ravens officially listed Beckham as questionable to return, his pads and uniform were off late in regulation, signaling that his night was done.
“Happy we got a little weekend to recover,” Beckham said on Prime after the game. “I’m gonna need it.”

Wilson was also in on the tackles that hurt Jackson and tight end Mark Andrews earlier in the game. Jackson was able to fight through an ankle injury, but Andrews was unable to return.
Beckham has had brutal injury luck in recent years. He missed the entire 2022 season after needing a second major knee surgery in as many years. Beckham entered the game with just 258 receiving yards on the season.
Fantasy Implications of Odell Beckham Jr. Injury
Beckham was finally starting to see his fantasy stock rise with a solid performance on Thursday Night Football against the Bengals, but a tackle from behind by Wilson after a massive gain sent OBJ to the sideline.
While we await the complete breakdown of OBJ’s injury and what it means for his long-term outlook, it does help clear up the target pecking order in Baltimore for Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman.
With Andrews also looking like he’s set to miss time, both Flowers and Bateman could become intriguing plays in starting lineups moving forward. Look for this offense now to run through the two young wideouts and Isaiah Likely if OBJ and Andrews are out for the foreseeable future.
