WR Odell Beckham Jr. signs with Vikings practice squad ahead of Week 5
The Minnesota Vikings have signed wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. to the practice squad one week after he was cut by the New York Giants.
Wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. is making a comeback attempt in the NFL, signing with the Minnesota Vikings' practice squad as reported by Schultz. The Giants released Beckham Jr. last week after he failed to make an impact despite being drafted No. 12 overall in 2014. During his time with the Giants from 2014 to 2018, he amassed 390 catches for 5,476 yards and 44 touchdowns, ranking second and fourth respectively in franchise history.
Beckham was named to the Pro Bowl three consecutive years from 2014 to 2016 and was named Offensive Rookie of the Year in 2014, as well as a second-team All-Pro in 2015 and 2016. After being traded to the Cleveland Browns, then the Los Angeles Rams, Beckham was released midway through the 2021 season following a career-ending injury in the Super Bowl.
He then signed with the Baltimore Ravens in 2023, playing 14 games with them before joining the Miami Dolphins in 2024. With the Giants facing a receiver shortage, Beckham's inclusion in their practice squad could potentially lead to his activation for the upcoming game.
