Report: Vikings to sign Odell Beckham Jr. to 53-man roster

Odell Beckham Jr. is set for his Vikings debut after a month on the practice squad, giving Minnesota an extra receiver for a 6-1 matchup.

  • On Sunday, the Minnesota Vikings signed wide receiver Odell Beckham to the 53-man roster, clearing the way for his Monday Night Football debut against the Buffalo Bills.
  • Beckham, who turned 34 on Nov. 5, joined the Vikings' practice squad on Oct. 7, about a week after the New York Giants released him.
  • Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell, who worked with Beckham on the Rams, added him to the active roster, though the team expects him to play a limited role after a long layoff.
  • The showdown at U.S. Bank Stadium features two 6-1 teams in primetime, with both organizations among the NFL's top performers despite dealing with injury problems.
  • Minnesota will be without quarterback Kyler Murray due to a hamstring injury and receiver Jauan Jennings, while quarterback Carson Wentz will start and the team must open a roster spot for Beckham.
