Beckham Joins Vikings Practice Squad, Takes Over No. 9

Odell Beckham Jr. signed with the Minnesota Vikings practice squad on Wednesday, taking over No. 9 after the team traded quarterback J.J. McCarthy. The move addresses a thin receiving corps following an ankle injury to star wide receiver Justin Jefferson. Beckham was released by the New York Giants on September 29 after recording zero catches in three games. Although the Vikings are 4-0, they rank last in the NFL in passing yards, limiting Beckham's immediate impact. He will compete for a roster spot while the team navigates offensive struggles and potential quarterback changes.

Vikings Sign Beckham to Practice Squad Amid Jefferson Injury

The Minnesota Vikings have signed 33-year-old wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. to their practice squad following his release by the New York Giants.

Beckham, a three-time Pro Bowler, had minimal playing time in New York, recording only one target in three games before being cut. The Vikings, currently 4-0, are last in the NFL in passing yards and rely heavily on a run-heavy offense. Beckham’s signing provides depth while Jefferson recovers, though his fantasy value remains limited due to the team’s offensive structure.
