EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — New York Giants punter Brad Wing says Odell Beckham Jr. was threatened by an unidentified bat-wielding man dressed in Carolina Panthers sweats during pre-game warmups Sunday.

Wing said the man refused to shake Beckham’s hand after it was offered near midfield, and later crossed onto the Giants’ side of the field with the bat in hand.

“I’ll be the reason this will be your last game,” Wing recalled the man saying. Wing talked about the incident for the first time with the media on Wednesday.

Wing’s account came just hours before appeals officer James Thrash upheld Beckham’s one-game NFL suspension for multiple violations of player safety rules in Sunday’s game.

Beckham was flagged for three personal fouls in Carolina’s 38-35 win.

Panthers coach Ron Rivera said the team has used the baseball bat as a prop all season. He insisted reports that some players taunted Beckham with physical threats and homophobic slurs were not true.
