The Minnesota Vikings are signing wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. to their practice squad, according to ESPN, which cited NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The move comes after Beckham's release by the New York Giants.
Beckham, a veteran NFL wide receiver, had been with the Giants before his release. His addition to Minnesota's practice squad gives the Vikings the option to elevate him to the active roster later in the season under standard NFL practice-squad rules.
ESPN's report attributed the news to Rapoport's reporting and did not include further detail on the terms of Beckham's practice-squad deal or a timeline for a potential promotion to Minnesota's active roster.
The signing adds experienced depth to the Vikings' receiving corps as the team continues through its 2026 regular-season schedule.
