The NFL has suspended New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. for one game in response to his alleged “unnecessary roughness” during the Giants’ loss on Sunday to the Carolina Panthers. Beckham will file an expedited appeal and try to get back on the field for the Giants’ upcoming game against the Minnesota Vikings. Although the Giants are 6–8, they are only 1 game back of the 7–7 Washington Redskins for first place in the NFC East. Beckham, who has 91 catches for 1,396 yards, is arguably the Giants' best player and his availability for Sunday’s game will be a crucial factor in the Giants’ fleeting playoff chances.
