Quick Summary

The Minnesota Vikings have brought Odell Beckham Jr. up from their practice squad for this week’s game against the New Orleans Saints. Although Beckham has not been active in games this season and his last action with the Giants was limited, the move provides an option if top receivers Justin Jefferson or Jordan Addison are unable to play due to injuries. Jefferson is dealing with an ankle issue and Addison has a hamstring injury, though coach Kevin O'Connell remains optimistic about Jefferson’s condition progressing positively.

Story summary

Odell Beckham Jr., a veteran wide receiver for the Minnesota Vikings' practice squad, will be elevated ahead of their game against the New Orleans Saints. While Beckham hasn't recorded any receptions this season and was only targeted once in three games with the New York Giants, his elevation suggests the Vikings have options if top receivers Justin Jefferson (with an ankle issue) or Jordan Addison (suffering from a hamstring injury) are unable to play. Though Beckham's return to New York did not meet expectations, this move provides him and the team some flexibility.
