BEREA, Ky. _ Browns superstar wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. wore a Richard Mille watch during Sunday's 43-13 loss to the Tennessee Titans in the season opener at FirstEnergy Stadium.
The NFL does not have a rule prohibiting players from donning jewelry during games, but it does have a rule prohibiting "hard objects," so the league plans to address Beckham's choice to wear a watch with the Browns and the player, a person familiar with the situation confirmed Monday morning for the Beacon Journal/Ohio.com. A fine is not anticipated, the person said.
On Monday afternoon, coach Freddie Kitchens said the league had already reached out to the Browns.
"Yes, they have," Kitchens said. "Did they want to put another flag on the field and give us 19 penalties? I was being facetious.
"I was not aware that he had the watch on. As long as they're going to enforce that with everyone, I'm fine with it. So let's just make sure we get it enforced with everybody."
USA Today pointed out the watch appears to be a RM 11-03 McLaren Flyback Chronograph, which can retail for about $350,000.
In Beckham's Browns debut, he caught seven passes for 71 yards on 11 targets.
