The road to recovery for Odell Beckham begins next week.
Cleveland Browns general manager Andrew Berry told reporters Wednesday that Beckham is slated for surgery early next week to repair the torn ACL in his left knee.
Beckham suffered the torn ACL in the first quarter of the Browns' Week 7 win over the Bengals.
In seven games, Beckham had 23 receptions for 319 yards and three touchdowns. The wideout also had three carries for 72 yards and another score.
Beckham's recovery will likely be monitored closely by teams other than Cleveland. NFL Network Ian Rapoport reported Sunday that there is a "very real possibility" Beckham may have played his last game in Cleveland.
