Beckham Jr.'s comeback with the Giants puts roster fate on the line after preseason

Giants coach John Harbaugh says Odell Beckham Jr. has done enough to earn a spot on an NFL roster after a solid preseason showing (3 catches for 53 yards vs. the Jets), with the 53-man roster deadline approaching.

Giants' Final Preseason Showdown: Beckham and Co. Battle for Roster Spots vs Jets

With one final tune-up before final cuts, the Giants’ roster decisions hinge on a handful of players facing the Jets. Odell Beckham Jr. appears to have a clearer path to a roster role after Calvin Austin’s injury, while Tyrone Tracy Jr. must rebound from a rough preseason to avoid dropping down the depth chart or attracting trade interest. Darius Alexander needs continued growth as a run defender to maintain his spot. Deonte Banks and Paulson Adebo are both competing for starting roles, with Banks needing a strong showing against top receivers. Bryan Hudson could push for a backup center/OL spot if he shines. The Jets game will be telling for who ultimately makes the 53.

Giants weigh OBJ’s return as Dart gains reps and defensive depth questions loom

After the Giants’ 13-10 preseason loss to Minnesota, Odell Beckham Jr.’s roster status remains unclear as he totaled 6 yards on 16 snaps and did not cement a top role or a special-teams contribution, with coach Harbaugh not guaranteeing a spot; the game did offer some progress for rookie Jaxson Dart, who benefited from live reps despite a scary hit. The contest also exposed cornerback depth behind Adebo and Newsome, with Colton Hood and Deonte Banks uneven, and left interior defensive-line depth questions, as starters sat and Jamison-Travis didn’t flash on the field. No overtime decision to punt preserved rhythm. In short, the Giants must decide OBJ’s fit, keep building the offense with Dart, and shore up their depth on defense before the regular season.

Beckham Jr. Shines Back With Giants as Day 2 Minicamp Highlights Include Edmunds INTs

Odell Beckham Jr. capped Day 2 of the Giants’ minicamp with a long touchdown on a pass from Jaxson Dart after his return to the team, with Calvin Austin III also scoring in the session. Tremaine Edmunds anchored the defense by snagging another interception, part of a day that saw Elijah Campbell, Nic Jones, Deonte Banks and Greg Newsome II also pick passes. Running back Cam Skattebo returned to team drills, receiving praise from coach John Harbaugh as a downhill, tough runner. Offensively, Dart connected for TDs to JuJu Smith‑Schuster and Tanner Conner (and Isaiah Likely in red-zone work), while Darnell Mooney added a red-zone score. Edge players Brian Burns and Kayvon Thibodeaux had sacks, and BYU rookie Jack Kelly contributed a sack in pressure situations. The Giants’ spring activities wrap with a mental-sweat session on Wednesday before training camp, which is relocating due to East Rutherford renovations, with Beckham framing this as a renewed opportunity.
