Giants Cut Beckham, Elevate Returners Berrios and Jones
The New York Giants released veteran wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. on Tuesday, September 29, 2026, after he recorded zero catches and only one target in his first three games. To fill the resulting roster spots, the team signed practice squad wide receivers Braxton Berrios and Charlie Jones, both of whom are primarily valued for their special teams return abilities. The Giants also placed edge defender Brian Burns on injured reserve following a torn ACL suffered in their Week 3 victory over the Tennessee Titans. Coach John Harbaugh stated that Beckham's performance 'just wasn't working,' while teammate Kayvon Thibodeaux feigned shock at the news during a press conference, despite having prior knowledge of the decision.
