Vikings Ink Ex-Giants Wide Receiver Odell Beckham Jr. to Practice Squad
- On Saturday, the Minnesota Vikings elevated Odell Beckham Jr. from their practice squad for Sunday's road game against the New Orleans Saints, ESPN reporter Ian Rapoport reported.

- The signing reunites Beckham with Head Coach Kevin O'Connell, who previously coached him with the Los Angeles Rams in 2021. O'Connell stated the system has "mechanisms that either he can quickly learn."
- Despite the promotion, Beckham's game-day availability remains fluid; O'Connell noted he will likely be inactive if both Jefferson and Addison are cleared to play.
- Hoping to debut in New Orleans, the Louisiana native and LSU alumnus seeks to revitalize his career after limited appearances with the New York Giants and Miami Dolphins.
