A tumultuous and disappointing second NFL season for Eli Apple came to an end Wednesday when the New York Giants suspended him “for a pattern of behavior that is detrimental to the team,” per a statement from interim general manager Kevin Abrams.
Eli Apple’s suspension today was due in part to his refusal to take the field with the scout team, source says. @RapSheet says he then got into it with a coach.

As others have rightly pointed out via Twitter, Eli Manning ran the scout team without complaint a few weeks ago when Ben McAdoo unceremoniously benched him in favor of Geno Smith.
