Beckham fined for dog-like TD celebration
New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. has been fined $12,154 by the NFL for his dog-like touchdown celebration last Sunday.
Beckham got down on all fours and pretended to urinate like a dog after catching a fourth-quarter touchdown pass in a loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. He was penalized for unsportsmanlike conduct for the celebration, and met a few days later with co-owner John Mara, who was unhappy with Beckham's behavior.
Also in that game, Eagles running back LeGarrette Blount was fined $9,115 for taunting. Jets rookie safety Jamal Adams and Minnesota cornerback Xavier Rhodes were docked the same amount for taunting.
Jets linebacker Darron Lee drew an $18,231 fine for a late hit on Miami quarterback Jay Cutler.
Seattle cornerback Richard Sherman was fined $12,154 for unnecessary roughness, while Denver's Will Parks was docked $9,115, also for unnecessary roughness.
Forte out vs. Jaguars
Matt Forte's big toe will keep him sidelined, and Bilal Powell is ready to step in for him. Forte won't play in the New York Jets' game Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars because of turf toe that kept him out of practice all week.
Vegas sheriff: Evidence on Bennett lacking
The head of Las Vegas police says officers acted appropriately and professionally detaining Seattle Seahawks defensive end Michael Bennett after a report of gunfire at an after-hours club on the Las Vegas Strip.
Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo said Friday that reviews of hundreds of videos, including police body-worn cameras, found no evidence that officers racially profiled Bennett or used excessive force.
