Beckham was going up for a reception when a Chargers defender landed on his left ankle. It was the same ankle that Beckham injured in the preseason against the Browns. Beckham took a helmet to the knee, but his ankle was briefly caught in the turf, causing the initial injury.
Beckham came into Sunday’s game as the second-leading receiver on the team with 205 yards and two touchdown receptions. He had a game-leading 97 yards and a touchdown before he was injured.
