Giants coach Ben McAdoo said Monday that he, General Manager Jerry Reese and others in the organization spoke to left tackle Ereck Flowers after he shoved ESPN reporter Jordan Raanan on Sunday and that Flowers apologized to Raanan for his actions.

McAdoo didn’t discuss potential discipline for Flowers, saying that it would be handled internally. If the Giants are considering disciplinary action, they may have company.

Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that the league is looking into what happened in the locker room after the Giants lost to the Packers on Sunday night. A report from the locker room that night had Flowers shoving Raanan after telling the reporter not to come near him.

Raanan called it a “minor thing” in response to a question about what happened on Twitter.
