Odell Beckham Jr. looked distraught on the sidelines of the Super Bowl after a knee injury forced him out of the game in the first half.
Beckham ran across the field for a pass in the second quarter when he suddenly jumped in the air, grabbed his knee, and fell to the ground. It was a non-contact injury.
Beckham was helped off the field, went back to the locker room, and was eventually ruled out by the Los Angeles Rams.
Beckham reappeared on the sideline in the fourth quarter, with a hood over his head, looking dejected. Some fans thought he may have been crying, but it wasn't clear.
Beckham was productive during his brief time on the field, catching two passes for 52 yards, including the game's first touchdown.
Beckham joined the Rams midseason after a somewhat ugly breakup with the Cleveland Browns. Beckham and Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield never got on the same page, and Beckham's father later posted a video showing Mayfield repeatedly missing Beckham. Beckham had asked for a trade, and the Browns eventually cut him.
Beckham has revived his career in LA.
The NFL world empathized with Beckham.
