A new video has emerged that appears to show a Carolina Panthers player -alleged to be practice squad player Marcus Ball - holding a baseball bat and walking toward New York Giants wideout Odell Beckham Jr. before Sunday's game.

The Giants allege Beckham was threatened and called homophobic slurs before the game. The Panthers said their use of baseball bats is a symbolic pre-game ritual the team has been doing for weeks.

Beckham was suspended for one game Monday for his actions in the game, which included a head shot on Panthers cornerback Josh Norman.
