Report: Giants never thought about benching Odell Beckham Jr.

There was a report this past week that the Giants are going to bench Odell Beckham Jr. if another emotional outburst occurs this season.

Jason la Canfora of CBS Sports says that report is false.

The Giants have never considered and are not considering any sort of internal discipline for Odell Beckham’s emotional outbursts, and have continued to support him publically and privately, according to multiple team sources, at a time when numerous pundits and commentators have suggested he be benched or suspended for a game. While the Giants have stressed to Beckham the importance of not giving away penalty yards and realize he can be too sensitive at times, the organization stands firmly behind him and believe his flare-ups are being blown out of proportion.
