Browns star receiver Beckham done for season with torn ACL

-

Odell Beckham Jr.’s second season with Cleveland ended painfully and prematurel­y.

The star wide receiver suffered a torn left knee ligament during Sunday’s 37-34 win at Cincinnati, a devastatin­g personal blow for Beckham and a setback to the Browns, who are off to their best start since 1994 and eyeing a playoff spot.

Beckham got hurt when his left leg buckled while he was trying to make a tackle after Baker Mayfield’s first pass was intercepte­d by Bengals cornerback Darius Phillips.

An MRI taken Monday in Cleveland confirmed the diagnosis of a torn anterior cruciate ligament. The team said Beckham will be placed on injured reserve, but there is no immediate word on when he’ll undergo surgery.
