New York Giants Have Waived Odell Beckham Jr.
Big Blue cuts the veteran wide receiver after three catchless games to clear roster space for Braxton Berrios.
Summary
The New York Giants have waived veteran wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr after a brief three-game reunion
Beckham logged 19 snaps and zero receptions before being released to make room for punt returner Braxton Berrios
The three-time Pro Bowler is not currently expected to join the team's practice squad
The New York Giants have officially released wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. following a brief second stint with the organization. The 33-year-old fan favorite departs the franchise without recording a single catch across the opening weeks of the season.
Beckham’s roster spot became vulnerable as New York needed to convert punt returner Braxton Berrios to the 53-man roster after exhausting his practice squad elevations. To address additional depth following outside linebacker Brian Burns’ season-ending ACL injury, the Giants also signed wide receiver Charlie Jones.
During his return to Big Blue, Beckham logged 19 offensive snaps across three games and was targeted just once—a pass from quarterback Jameis Winston during Sunday’s win over the Tennessee Titans. Despite earning a spot on the initial 53-man roster as the fifth receiver out of training camp, the veteran saw limited opportunity. Sources indicate that Beckham is not expected to be added to the Giants’ practice squad, concluding his second chapter in East Rutherford.
