Giants Could Use Beckham As Emergency Kicker As Brown Stays Home

Oct 20, 2016 7:57 PM

Josh Brown will not travel with the New York Giants to London for their Week 7 game against the Rams.

The Giants said they will review newly released documents in which Brown admitted to domestic abuse and "revisit" the issue when the team returns from London. The NFL also announced that it will review the documents.

In an interview with WFAN Radio in New York, Giants co-owner John Mara said the "best course" was to make Brown inactive this week and that the team hasn't made a decision on his future.

Mara said Brown "admitted to us he'd abused his wife in the past. What's a little unclear is the extent of that."

Ben McAdoo told WFAN that the Giants will "kick the tires" on players and sign one to kick in Sunday's game. Asked if any player on the team was an emergency kicker, McAdoo mentioned Odell Beckham Jr., but later said he doesn't expect to use his star wide receiver "in that role."

The NFL had only previously suspended Brown for one game.

The Giants re-signed him to a two-year, $4 million deal this offseason. Mara said in August the Giants were comfortable re-signing Brown after reviewing all the information at their disposal.

McAdoo also said in August that he supported Brown "as a man, a father and a player."

There has been strong public outcry from fans and even certain players for the Giants to release Brown.
