Ravens' Odell Beckham Jr. Downplays Shoulder Injury vs. Bengals: 'It's Not That Bad'

Odell Beckham Jr. isn't concerned about the shoulder injury he suffered in the fourth quarter of the Baltimore Ravens' 34-20 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals on Thursday.

Speaking to reporters after the game, Beckham said "it's not that bad" when he was asked about the injury.

"Just keeping my head down, continuing to work," the three-time Pro Bowl receiver added. "Got some time to recover and heal."

The Ravens got a big win over their division rival, but they came out of it banged up. Beckham, Lamar Jackson and Mark Andrews all suffered injuries during the game.

Andrews' injury is the most concerning of that group. Ravens head coach John Harbaugh told reporters his star tight end suffered a "serious" ankle injury that will likely end his season.

Jackson injured his ankle late in the first quarter, but he was able to remain in the game. Beckham's injury occurred midway through the fourth quarter when Bengals linebacker Logan Wilson tackled him and appeared to land on his right shoulder.

The television broadcast said Beckham was taken to the locker room for X-rays. Harbaugh provided an optimistic outlook for the veteran receiver.

"It doesn't look too bad," Harbaugh told reporters after the game. "I'm sure it'll be something he'll have to deal with. These guys all have stuff to deal with, but it doesn't look too bad."

The Ravens came into this game with some notable players out due to injuries. Marlon Humphrey and Ronnie Stanley sat out after suffering injuries in Sunday's loss to the Cleveland Browns.

As long as these aren't long-term problems, the Ravens should be fine going forward. They are 8-3 after Thursday's win and own the No. 2 seed in the AFC playoff race.

Beckham's injury cast a shadow over what was easily his best game of the season. He had 116 yards on four receptions. It was his first 100-yard game since Oct. 13, 2019.

The Ravens will get a few extra days off before their next game against the Los Angeles Chargers at SoFi Stadium on Nov. 26.
