The world is still trying to piece together what exactly set off Giants wideout Odell Beckham Jr. on Sunday as more bits of reported information continue to leak out.

Add what Hall of Fame wideout Cris Carter (who said he spoke to Beckham on Sunday) said transpired on the field before kickoff in Week 15 (via Business Insider):

"There were things said to him about the bat. There were things said to him as far as what they were going to do to him. They were going to try to end his career. There were some things, some gay, homophobic things that were said to him ... Now, that is not just report, that's true. I can confirm all that being true ... I think that was just part of the trash-talking and they referred to him in several different ways, called him a couple of different names, said he was a ballerina, said he was just about the flash, and they were going to take the wood to him."

Most of that falls in line with the various reports that leaked out on Monday, but it appears the threats to "end his career" are new. Let's piece it all together: The presence of a bat in the hands of a Panthers player coupled with physical threats (which Carter said included the talk of ending Beckham's career) and homophobic slurs. There's even video of a pregame altercation involving a Panthers player, practice squad safety Marcus Ball.

Assuming that's what Beckham will use to explain his actions once the game started, will that be enough to overturn a suspension? Stay tuned.
