New York Giants tight end Travis Beckum had to be helped off the field and into the locker room after injuring his right knee early in the second quarter.
Once in the locker room, his injury was diagnosed as a torn ACL and he will not return to the game and may have miss the 2012 regular season as well.

Without Beckum, the Giants only have Jake Ballard and Bear Pascoe, but Beckum leads the three tight ends in receptions throughout the playoffs.
