How bad is Odell Beckham Jr’s injury, and which NFL team could free agent move to?
IT was definitely a game of two halves at Super Bowl LVI for Odell Beckham Jr.
The LA Rams wide receiver caught the first touchdown of the contest, completing a methodical 50-yard drive from Matthew Stafford.
But OBJ was forced from the field with just seconds left before half time - and he didn't return to action as the Rams edged a thriller 23-20.
Beckham Jr has his Super Bowl ring, but the direction of his career is uncertain as he becomes a free agent this summer.
How bad is Odell Beckham Jr's injury?
Beckham went down in the second quarter of the Rams Super Bowl win after attempting to catch a pass in midfield from Stafford.
When looking to cut, his foot got caught in the artificial pitch and his left knee took the full force.
There was no-contact from any Bengals players but Beckham hit the deck hard, with teammates rushing over along with medical staff.
OBJ was helped from the field and although initially questionable to return, his status was downgraded to out just after half-time.
He did emerge from the locker room to cheer on his teammates to victory, as well as join in the celebrations.
It is feared that Beckham has torn the ACL in his left knee, an injury he has suffered before when playing for the Cleveland Browns.
Until he has a full scan on the area though his diagnosis isn't confirmed.
But if it's bad news, Beckham Jr could be looking at missing the entire 2022 season.

Which team could he join?
Even if the injury diagnosis comes back better than feared, OBJ is still looking for a new team.
His short-term deal with the Rams was definitely worth it for the organization, with Beckham Jr catching six touchdowns after they lost Robert Woods in mid-season.
Before his injury, the Rams seemed confident that Beckham would return next season after his fine performances.
But should his injury rule him out for much of 2022, McVay could look elsewhere especially with Woods potentially returning to a crowded receiver room.
Others around the NFL might be looking for a playmaker like Beckham, even if he's only fit for part of the season.
Las Vegas Raiders could be a possible destination under new management, with their No1 receiver position up for grabs in a pass-first offense.

And OBJ almost joined the Saints from free agency last season before opting for the Rams, so could head back to New Orleans if the chance comes by again.
For the time being, Beckham Jr faces a nervous wait to see his injury diagnosis.
