Odell Beckham Jr. signs with Vikings' practice squad after release by Giants

Odell Beckham Jr. has joined the Minnesota Vikings’ practice squad after his abrupt release by the New York Giants, marking a swift turnaround for the veteran wide receiver.

Beckham’s second stint with the Giants lasted just three games, during which he logged a combined 19 offensive snaps before being cut. The move reunites him with former Rams offensive coordinator Kevin O’Connell, now serving as the Vikings’ head coach, and comes amid Minnesota’s offensive struggles and uncertainty surrounding star receiver Justin Jefferson.

The Vikings’ addition of Beckham, one of the NFL’s most recognizable players, signals a potential spark for a unit seeking depth in the receiving corps. Beckham had earlier expressed frustration over his release, posting on social media to criticize the Giants’ decision, while New York quickly moved to replace him by signing Braxton Berrios and Charlie Jones to the active roster.
