The clash between the Giants’ Odell Beckham Jr. and the Panthers’ Josh Norman took on a new tack Monday when a video posted on the Giants’ Instagram account showed a Carolina practice squad player carrying a black baseball bat near the Giants’ sideline and motioning toward the Giants as they ran onto the field for pregame warm-ups.
Various Panthers players held the bat and taunted Beckham, according to two Giants players who requested anonymity because they were not authorized to speak about the situation. The players also said Beckham had to be separated by teammates from a group of Panthers players.
