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.
