Instead, now it seems that the Jets could be the Divisional opponent for the Patriots, and at Foxborough and not Exit 16-W. “We talk about that on the sideline because it could have been our choice had it gone differently”, Belichick said.

Beckham would not be permitted this week to be at the team’s practice facility if the suspension was upheld. He would be reinstated Monday.

Beckham issued a written apology Wednesday in which he said: “This isn’t about anything that was said or done to me”.

“He’s going to learn that there’s no place for that kind of activity on the field, as I’ve said many times before”, Coughlin said.

“Anytime opportunity comes you want to take full advantage of it, that’s how I look at it”, Nicks said. “I know a lot of responsibility holds on this receiver corps with him being out, so we have to make sure we are on the same page and know what we are going and be ready to have a big game”. It wouldn’t be ridiculous to expect another solid performance on the ground against Minnesota but with Odell Beckham Jr. suspended, it would be a total shock if the Purple-People-Eaters don’t crowd the box and dare Manning to throw the ball. The receiver – normally known for being quarterback Eli Manning’s go-to guy in the end zone – dropped a wide-open touchdown pass on the first drive of the Giants’ game against the Panthers at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. Beckham drew three personal foul penalties during the matchup with the undefeated team.

Norman told ESPN on Wednesday that he planned to contest the fine. After Sunday’s game, Wing, who played college football with Beckham at Louisiana State, believed that the episode “may have had an impact on how Odell was acting”.

LB Devon Kennard, who has been sidelined with a foot injury, was placed on IR by the Giants Monday.

“I apologize for my actions on Sunday”, Beckham wrote.

“I am not here to make excuses for my conduct”, he continued. Now, there’s a pretty decent chance he plays on Sunday but how effective he’ll be is another question. He has 91 catches for 1,396 yards and 13 touchdowns, and no one on the roster can come close to doing what he does. His absence could be a huge factor for a team barely in playoff contention. Either way, Beckham lost his composure and played into the hands of Norman.

“But the fact of the matter is, the situation in the pregame with the baseball bat, and if you know what occurred at the very beginning of the game, you can understand that there were two sides to this and not just one”, the 69-year-old coach also explained.

Panthers Coach Ron Rivera said Tuesday he was “a little disappointed” about the “assumptions and innuendos” about his players. The NFL president of football operations Merton Hanks said Beckham’s actions “put his opponents at unnecessary risk of injury”. Since then, the offense has relied on and gotten used to Beckham being the biggest contributor, the straw that stirs the drink, the player that keeps opposing defensive coordinators up at night, while everyone else has just fallen into line.
