Odell Beckham Jr. shows he can contribute in Giants' preseason opener with roster crunch looming
Odell Beckham Jr. had the MetLife crowd on its feet when he checked in on Saturday for the Giants' preseason opener and showed he can contribute, but needs to prove he deserves a roster spot.
East Rutherford – In the Giants' preseason-opening 13-10 loss to the Vikings, Odell Beckham Jr. briefly returned to action during the second half. The once elite wide receiver, who last played an NFL game in 2024, caught two passes for six yards. Beckham has been working mostly with the second team in training camp, impressing the Giants with his agility, route-running, and ability to get open.
However, it remains to be seen whether Beckham will earn a spot on the 53-man roster, as Malik Nabers, Darius Slayton, Darnell Mooney, Calvin Austin, and rookie Malachi Fields are all roster locks.
