New York Giants receiver Odell Beckham Jr. came out of Sunday's loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers a little worse for wear.

Beckham left the field in the second quarter after dislocating his right index finger when the ball hit him in the hand.

"Just popped out. It's not the first time," Beckham said after the game, via Jordan Raanan of ESPN. "It's not a comfortable feeling. You run off and your finger is out of place."

He returned to the game and hauled in seven catches for 90 yards, but also appeared to re-aggravate the ankle injury he picked up in the preseason, one that forced him to miss the opening game of the season.

Beckham was tended to on the field by medical staff, but avoided significant injury to the ankle.

"It's good. I came down in kind of the same motion that injured it. But came out of it fine," Beckham said. "At the moment, the pain that you go through right then and there " you'll overcome it. Just at the time, it was something that scares you for a second. It's the same motion that happened, so " I'll be all right."

The Giants fell to 0-4 after the 25-23 loss to the Buccaneers and will search for their first win of the year next week against the Los Angeles Chargers.
