Giants’ Beckham Hit With One Game Suspension
According to ESPN Insider Adam Schefter, the league is discussing possible discipline for Beckham after his continual outbursts against the Panthers, with a one-game suspension being possible.

There was a lot of speculation following Sunday’s Giants-Carolina Panthers game as to what may have set Odell Beckham Jr. off and caused him to act the way he did. Beckham had a game-tying touchdown pass with 1:46 left in the fourth quarter before the Panthers won on Graham Gano’s 43-yard field goal on the game’s final play. And what I have seen in the last couple of games – the wagging of the tongue, the nonsense in the end zone, the me me me stuff – to me, it all boiled over yesterday in one of the worst, worst performances and completely me, self-aggrandizing, nonsensical, just unsafe at times performance by Beckham yesterday.
After Sunday’s game, Beckham refused to discuss his run-ins with Norman.
There was plenty of pushing, shoving, swinging, wrestling, late hits and trash talking between them.
The Giants play the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday night, a game that was moved from a noon CST kickoff time into the prime-time position, before completing the regular season against the Philadelphia Eagles.
In an NFL where the effects of head trauma are debated daily and the league has declared player safety is a top priority, Beckham’s charge at Norman seemed especially violent.
NFL Vice President of Football Operations Merton Hanks told Beckham in a letter that his actions placed opponents at risk of injury.
Beckham has three days to appeal the suspension.

“To the media, I think he cried a little bit”, Manning said of Norman on a Monday conference call. The league – which has taken a more hardline stance in recent years toward risky hits, especially to the head in the wake of concussion concerns – routinely reviews on-field incidents on Mondays. Beckham basically refused to even acknowledge questions about the on-field spats between him and Norman when asked about them in the locker room. The reports, which were all very similar, also said expletives were directed at Beckham and he was threatened physically. If Beckham has to sit out, he’d lose one game’s pay – ,529.
