League to speak with OBJ about wearing watch

-

CLEVELAND (AP) >> The NFL plans to speak with Browns star Odell Beckham Jr. about wearing a watch during Sunday’s game.

The flashy, fashionabl­e wide receiver sported an expensive watch — worth over $250,000 — during his debut with Cleveland, which was rolled 43-13 by the Tennessee Titans. Beckham, who came to Cleveland in a March trade from the New York Giants, caught seven passes for 71 yards in his first action for the Browns.

In photos taken during the game, Beckham is wearing a limited Richard Mille watch.

NFL spokesman Michael Signora said there are no rules prohibitin­g jewelry. However, the league does have a policy “prohibitin­g hard objects.” He said the league will address the matter with Beckham and the Browns, who play at the New York Jets next Monday night. JACKSONVIL­LE, FLA. (AP) >> The Jacksonvil­le Jaguars have acquired quarterbac­k Josh Dobbs in a trade with Pittsburgh, giving them a backup while Nick Foles recovers from a broken collarbone.

The Jaguars gave up a fifthround pick in the 2020 draft for Dobbs, who was in his third season with the Steelers. He was a fourth-round pick in 2017.

He has played in five career NFL games, completing 6 of 12 passes for 43 yards and an intercepti­on.

He will back up rookie Gardner Minshew, who completed 22 of 25 passes for 275 yards, with two touchdowns and an intercepti­on, in his NFL debut Sunday.

Foles broke his left clavicle on the team’s 10th offensive play of the season. He was hit and landed on while throwing a 35-yard touchdown pass to DJ Chark.
