Vikings Work Out Pro Bowl Wide Receiver One Week After Signing Odell Beckham Jr
The Minnesota Vikings worked out a veteran wide receiver on Monday amid recent injuries to Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison.
Last week, the Minnesota Vikings signed Odell Beckham Jr. to the practice squad due to injuries to Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison. The team is exploring additional receiving options, with reports stating they worked out JuJu Smith-Schuster on Monday, a Pro Bowl wide receiver who had impressive stats in his second season. However, Smith-Schuster's production has declined over the past five seasons, with only a single 1,000-yard campaign and seven touchdowns in the last five years.
After stints with the Steelers, New England Patriots, and Kansas City Chiefs, Smith-Schuster recently signed a one-year deal with New York Giants but was released after going three games without a catch. Despite Beckham's addition, the Vikings currently rank 29th in passing offense and could use another reliable target.
