Beckham suffered his injury with about four minutes left in the fourth quarter. He fell awkwardly to the ground, and Chargers players immediately signaled to the sidelines for help.

Beckham had to be carted off the field.

He missed the Giants' season-opener against the Dallas Cowboys with an ankle injury, and after catching five passes for 97 yards on Sunday, Beckham has 25 receptions for 302 yards for the season.

He was the fourth Giants wide receiver to be injured Sunday.

Brandon Marshall was carted off in the second quarter with an ankle injury, and Sterling Shepard also left with an ankle injury.

Neither returned to the game.

In the second half, Dwayne Harris left on a cart with a fractured foot.
