J.T. Thomas Ejected for Throwing Punch vs. Vikings: Latest Comments and Reaction

New York Giants linebacker J.T. Thomas was ejected for throwing a punch in his team's Sunday Night Football game against the Minnesota Vikings.

Per Ralph Vacchiano of the New York Daily News, the ejection was due to a "punch/slap" Thomas aimed at Vikings tight end MyCole Pruitt.   

This comes on the heels of a one-game suspension of New York wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., who was flagged for three unsportsmanlike conduct penalties in Week 15 against the Carolina Panthers.      

Jordan Raanan of NJ Advance Media shared his opinion on the situation:   

Thomas is in his first year with the Giants—his third team in just four years in the league.

In 11 games coming into Week 16, Thomas had just 27 total tackles and registered a half-sack—the first of his career.

The 27-year-old is the third player ejected from an NFL game this season, per Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com.
