New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. lost his appeal of a one-game suspension and will not play against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday night, the NFL ruled Wednesday.
Beckham was flagged three times for personal fouls Sunday, as he grappled with Panthers cornerbacks Josh Norman and Cortland Finnegan throughout the game. The Panthers' defensive backs were also flagged, but Beckham's actions seemed more excessive, particularly when he rushed across the field to deliver a helmet-to-helmet hit on Norman at the end of a run play in which neither was involved.
