Giants release veteran receiver Odell Beckham Jr.

The New York Giants released veteran wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. on Tuesday, ending his latest stint with the team amid struggles on the field.

Beckham, once one of the league's most electrifying playmakers, had been dealing with a difficult run of form before the move, though specific performance details behind the decision were not fully outlined.

The receiver first rose to prominence with the Giants earlier in his career before moving on to other franchises, and his return to New York had been watched closely by fans hoping for a resurgence.

His release opens a roster spot for the Giants as they continue to shape their receiving corps through the remainder of the season.

No immediate word was given on Beckham's next steps, though a player of his profile is likely to draw interest if he opts to continue his career elsewhere.
