Could Rams reunite with Odell Beckham Jr. to fill WR void?
The Rams need wide receiver help after standing pat at the trade deadline, and Odell Beckham Jr. could be an option.
The Los Angeles Rams currently face an injury-plagued wide receiver situation, prompting them to avoid making any trades for additional talent before the NFL trade deadline. In-house players Davante Adams and Jordan Whittington are managing their time on injured reserve, while Puka Nacua, who is also sidelined, is likely to join them on IR in the near future.
Amidst these roster challenges, a familiar name has become available for the Rams to consider: Odell Beckham Jr. The veteran receiver has been released by the Minnesota Vikings and has opted to sign with their practice squad, according to NFL Insider Ian Rapoport. This development presents the Rams with the option to sign Beckham straight to their active roster, as they did with Xavier Smith on Tuesday.
Beckham Jr., who turned 34 years old just last week, has not contributed any offensive statistics during his time with the Vikings and the New York Giants this season. However, his past performance with the Rams cannot be overlooked. Signed following his departure from the Cleveland Browns, Beckham played a crucial role in the team's successful run to Super Bowl LVI. During the NFC Championship win over San Francisco, he scored two touchdowns on nine catches for 113 yards, ultimately helping secure the 23-20 victory.
