NFL upholds OBJ's suspension

The NFL suspended Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. for one game on Monday, a day after he was flagged repeatedly for confrontations with Panthers cornerback Josh Norman. In a statement, NFL Vice President of Football Operations Merton Hanks noted that Beckham's actions "placed his opponents at unnecessary risk of injury and should have been avoided."

Beckham appealed the suspension, and on Wednesday, the league upheld that suspension. Which means that Beckham won't be on the field when the Giants face the Vikings on Sunday night in a must-win game.
