Odell Beckham Jr. reclaims No. 13 with Giants after wearing No. 3 during preseason
Beckham will re-emerge in Week 1 with Giants in a spot that recalls the moment he made No. 13 his own — at home against the Cowboys on "Sunday Night Football."
Odell Beckham Jr. returns to the New York Giants in his iconic No. 13 jersey, after previously donning the number during his first tenure with the team. After wearing No. 3 during the preseason, Beckham switched to No. 13 for practice on Tuesday, a number he famously made his own during his first stint in New York. Beckham, who signed a one-year deal with the Giants in the offseason, has been a journeyman in the NFL, playing for the Browns, Rams, Ravens, and Dolphins since joining the franchise in 2018.
He made the Giants' 53-man roster on Sunday, replacing wide receiver Jalin Hyatt, who had worn No. 13 since joining the team as a rookie in 2023. Hyatt did not make the final roster and was placed on the practice squad. Beckham expressed his excitement about returning to No. 13, stating that it would be an honor and privilege to wear the jersey again.
This return comes at a crucial time for the Giants, as they gear up for their opening game on Sunday Night Football against the Dallas Cowboys on September 13th, a moment reminiscent of Beckham's legendary one-handed catch in 2014.
