NEW YORK — New York Giants' standout receiver Odell Beckham Jr. will miss Sunday's National Football League game against the Minnesota Vikings after his one-game suspension was upheld following an appeals hearing on Wednesday.
The ruling came down from appeals officer James Thrash, a former NFL player, who is jointly appointed by the NFL and the NFL Players Association to hear appeals of on-field discipline.
Beckham had been suspended on Monday by NFL vice president of soccer operations Merton Hanks for multiple violations of safety-related playing rules last Sunday in a 38-35 loss against the Carolina Panthers.
