New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. is officially done for the season.
Giants coach Pat Shurmur announced Friday that Beckham was ruled out for Sunday’s regular-season finale against the visiting Dallas Cowboys.
It will mark the fourth consecutive game missed by Beckham due to a quadriceps injury he sustained late last month. Despite the ailment, Beckham had his fourth 1,000-yard season by recording 77 receptions for 1,052 yards and six touchdowns in only 12 games.
Beckham initially was hurt in a 25-22 loss at Philadelphia on Nov. 25, but played the following week against the Chicago Bears, posting three catches for 35 yards and a touchdown in a 30-27 victory.
Although he practiced the following week, Beckham reported discomfort in the quad and the Giants announced that he would not accompany the team to Washington in Week 14.
Beckham’s injury was described as being consistent with a hematoma, where a mass of blood pools in one area, the New York Daily News reported earlier this month.
A first-round pick (No. 12 overall) in the 2014 NFL Draft, Beckham had at least 90 catches and 1,300 yards in each of his first three seasons with New York. He also had double-digit touchdowns in each of those seasons, including a career-best 13 in 2015.
The 26-year-old Beckham reached 200 receptions and 3,000 receiving yards in just 30 games, getting to those milestones faster than anyone in NFL history.
A fractured ankle limited Beckham to four games in 2017, but New York signed him to a five-year contract extension worth $95 million, including $65 million guaranteed, in late August.
