New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. has been suspended for one game for his actions during Sunday's game against the Panthers in which he drew three personal foul penalties. The NFL announced the suspension late Monday afternoon.
Appeals of this nature are generally expedited, and assuming Beckham files the appeal within the next day or so, it's likely to be heard and ruled on well in advance of the Giants' Sunday night game against the Vikings in Minnesota. A jointly appointed appeals officer, either Derrick Brooks or James Thrash, will hear the appeal.
Beckham was flagged three times for personal fouls as he grappled all day Sunday with Panthers cornerbacks Josh Norman and Cortland Finnegan. The Panthers' defensive backs were also flagged, but Beckham's actions seemed more excessive, particularly the play on which he rushed across the field to deliver a helmet-to-helmet hit on Norman at the end of a run play on which neither was involved.
Beckham was fined for unacceptable on-field actions in the Giants' game in Buffalo earlier this year. After that game, Bills players accused Beckham of throwing punches, something he clearly did more than once against Carolina.
