The New York Giants took some big-time hits against the Chargers on Sunday, losing superstar wideout Odell Beckham for the season with a gruesome ankle injury. When Beckham went out, the Giants were down to one wideout, thanks to injuries to Brandon Marshall, Dwayne Harris and Sterling Shepard.
Three of those guys won’t be coming back this season either. Harris was announced out for the year after the game on Sunday night, Beckham was confirmed out for the year on Monday morning and on Monday evening Marshall took to Instagram and let everyone know he would be having season-ending surgery

This game has given me the opportunity to grow as a man, father, husband, teammate, leader … I’m so thankful for this game … The biggest lesson I’ve learned about myself is that Adversity kicks my Ass. I’m proud to say that after 12 years I’ve finally became the man I knew I was suppose to be by confronting Adversity with a Smile. Gods Delay isn’t Gods Denial #DueSeason
