The move comes as the Vikings face wide receiver injuries, potentially giving Beckham Jr. more opportunities to play. Kyler Murray will be passing to Beckham Jr. for practice sessions, though there are no regular-season matchups against his former team this year due to scheduling.

Story summary

Odell Beckham Jr., who played just three games with the New York Giants before being released, signed with the Minnesota Vikings' practice squad on Wednesday. During his brief stint with the Giants, Beckham was used sparingly, playing only 20 snaps and recording no catches despite high expectations after a teammate's injury. The Vikings are currently dealing with their own wide receiver injuries, including Justin Jefferson who is battling an ankle sprain. Beckham could see more playing time as the Vikings seek to bolster their receiving corps, although there will be no revenge game against his former team this season since the Giants and Vikings do not face each other in the regular schedule.

🔮 They’re both rated pretty much even in terms of DVOA, coming in at No. 17 in DVOA (No. 11 on offense, No. 25 on defense), while the Packers are No. 18 (No. 23 on offense and No. 4 on defense). So no, Micah Parsons is not active, but that really isn’t stopping them. Had Josh Jacobs not returned for the Packers, I’d be all in on the Over, and likely would have had some bets targeting the Over on both Christian Watson and Matthew Golden’s receiving yards. I’m still bullish on them overall, but Jacobs’ return allows Green Bay the option to run the ball much more.
