Not Available Lead

Odell Beckham was mostly out of his mind on Sunday during the Giants' 38-35 loss at the hands of the undefeated Panthers. He seemed more interested in fighting his opponents than trying to play football against them, and plenty of people watching felt that he should have been ejected long before he was able to help his team come all the way back from a 35-7 deficit.

Evidently, that includes some folks in the NFL's league office, and Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk wonders if that might lead to Beckham receiving a one-game suspension.

The league office thought he should have been ejected. He wasn’t. So now the question is whether the league office will preemptively eject Giants receiver Odell Beckham Jr. from his next game, Sunday night at Minnesota.

ESPN's Adam Schefter is reporting that the suspension is "likely."

This hit on Josh Norman would likely be the reason for the suspension if it happens, but honestly, the totality of Beckham's chippy (read: dirty) play throughout the afternoon probably warrants him sitting the next game out.
