NEW YORK, Dec. 23 (UPI) — Anxious fantasy football owners and New York Giants fans combed keyboards Wednesday, trying to find out if they would watch Odell Beckham Jr. take the field this weekend.
After an appeal hearing, ESPN’s Ron Jaworski gave those people hope with one tweet: “BREAKING NEWS: Odell Beckham suspension to be OVERTURNED! (Per sources in NYC) Wow!”
Beckham Jr. was suspended for one game Monday for actions against the Carolina Panthers’ Josh Norman.
The 23-year-old superstar drew several flags, and enormous attention, for unnecessary roughness, including an unobstructed helmet-to-helmet hit, on Norman during the 38-35 loss.
Beckham appealed the suspension in an appeal hearing Wednesday in New York before James Thrash, a hearing officer appointed by the league and the player’s union.
Jaworski followed his tweet Wednesday saying “Sorry, Still waiting on final OFFCIAL release on OBJ. I’ll leave the reporting to our true pro insiders @mortreport and @AdamSchefter.”
Former Giants kicker Lawrence Tynes also tweeted that Beckham’s suspension was overturned, before Jaworski’s tweet.
