Mara ‘unhappy’ with Beckham

- News services

The Giants said they will internally handle Odell

Beckham Jr.’s embarrassi­ng touchdown celebratio­n.

Co-owner John Mara said in an email Tuesday that he was unhappy with Beckham’s behavior Sunday in Philadelph­ia.

The dynamic wide receiver pretended to urinate like a dog after catching a fourth-quarter touchdown in the Giants’ 27-24 loss to the Eagles. He was penalized for unsportsma­nlike conduct. The NFL probably will fine him.

“I do not want to get into a discussion about this, but I will say that I am very unhappy with Odell’s behavior on Sunday and we intend to deal with it internally,” Mara wrote in his email.

Beckham had nine catches for 79 yards and two TDs, including a onehanded one.

Suspension lifted: The Dolphins’ vanishing linebacker is back.

The team lifted the suspension of Lawrence Timmons after one week, and he’s eligible to play Sunday against the Saints in London.

Timmons was suspended indefinite­ly after he went AWOL the day before the Dolphins’ season-opening victory against the Chargers. The Dolphins filed a missing person report before making contact with the 11thyear veteran, who apparently was dealing with a personal matter.

Timmons signed a twoyear, $12 million deal in March after 10 seasons with the Steelers. Ram in trouble: Rams defensive lineman Ethan Westbrooks was arrested after an officer saw a stolen gun in his car when he was pulled over for speeding, the California Highway Patrol said.

Westbrooks was arrested Friday on suspicion of possessing a loaded firearm, possessing a stolen firearm and possessing a high-capacity magazine.

Westbrooks was stopped for speeding along Interstate 5 near Bakersfiel­d and an officer spotted a gun in the glove box as Westbrooks was looking for his car’s registrati­on document.

The gun, which had been reported stolen in Sacramento in 2009, was loaded with a high-capacity clip that held 13 rounds.
