Odell Beckham Jr. reunites with familiar faces, joins 4-0 Vikings
The veteran receiver reunites with Justin Jefferson and Kevin O'Connell as Minnesota seeks help for a passing game that ranks last in the NFL.
- On Wednesday, the Minnesota Vikings signed veteran wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. to their practice squad, giving the 33-year-old another opportunity after his release from the New York Giants on September 29.
- Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell, who served as Beckham's offensive coordinator during the Los Angeles Rams' 2021 Super Bowl run, reached out personally to recruit him, with Beckham saying, "It seemed as if he wanted me to be here."
- Longtime friends and former LSU Tigers, Beckham and Justin Jefferson are now reunited in Minnesota, where the 4-0 Vikings seek passing consistency from an offense that currently ranks last in the NFL in passing yards.
- Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints in Louisiana could mark Beckham's debut, with O'Connell expressing confidence the receiver can prepare in time for the upcoming matchup.
- Analysts expect Beckham to serve as a reserve option rather than an immediate starter, aiming to revitalize his career following a difficult stint with the Giants earlier this season.
