(AP Photo/Michael Conroy)CLEVELAND โ 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 or Beckham and a setback to the Browns, who are off to their best start since 1994 and eyeing a playoff spot.
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.
While Beckham had continued to make some headlines with some off-the-field antics, he had been emerging as a leader on the Browns.
