Cleveland Browns wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr is expected to miss the rest of the season with an anterior cruciate ligament injury.

Beckham was hurt during the Browns' 37-34 win over the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday.

The three-time Pro Bowler sustained the injury while trying to make a tackle after quarterback Baker Mayfield threw an interception with his first pass at Paul Brown Stadium.

Mayfield was attempting to find Beckham in the deep but instead hit Darius Phillips of the Bengals, who capitalised on the pick with a drive that ended with a touchdown run for Joe Burrow.

In a statement issued on Monday, the Browns confirmed an MRI scan showed Beckham has torn the ligament "and is expected to miss the rest of the season".

Beckham, who was traded from the New York Giants in March 2019, had 319 yards rushing and three touchdowns on 23 receptions prior to the Week 7 clash with the Bengals.

The 27-year-old's time in Cleveland has been undermined by persistent injuries. He suffered a hip and groin problem during training camp in 2019 and underwent surgery in January in a bid to correct the issue.
