Why NY Giants are releasing Odell Beckham Jr.
Odell Beckham Jr.'s second chapter with the NY Giants is closing with his release Tuesday. He had no catches and played 20 snaps in three games.
Odell Beckham Jr.'s return to the New York Giants proved to be a bittersweet story. Despite the Giants hoping for a successful comeback, the situation remains unresolved. It has been announced that Beckham, who has failed to catch a single pass in his last three games, will be released by the team. According to a source familiar with the situation, Beckham, 33, has only played 20 snaps on offense over three appearances for the Giants, who are currently 2-1 in the season.
The Giants plan to activate wide receiver/returner Braxton Berrios and linebacker Malik Harrison from the practice squad to fill the vacant spots on the active roster. The team will return to action on Sunday, facing the Arizona Cardinals at MetLife Stadium. Beckham had initially earned his spot with the Giants in the summer, but the development of a consistent role in the game plan has been lackluster.
Furthermore, injuries to quarterback Jaxson Dart and outside linebacker Brian Burns have necessitated roster adjustments. The Giants have limited spots available, and Beckham's absence will only exacerbate the need for changes.
