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.

Beckham Jr. Sets Up Second Giants Workout, Keeping Reunion Hopes Alive

Odell Beckham Jr. will reportedly have a second workout for the New York Giants, signaling continued interest from both sides as speculation grows about a potential reunion. Beckham, who enjoyed multiple 1,000-yard seasons with the Giants early in his career and has battled injuries in recent years, hinted at unfinished business with the team after a charity appearance. In 2024 he posted nine catches for 55 yards with the Dolphins, and Giants coach John Harbaugh has noted the decision must be right for both Beckham and the team. The Giants have also seen roster changes, including Gunner Olszewski’s torn Achilles, and Malik Nabers’ readiness for the 2026 season remains uncertain. The second workout underscores that a return is far from guaranteed but remains a real possibility.)
