The Minnesota Vikings are signing wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. to their practice squad, according to a source who spoke with NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
The move adds a veteran receiver to Minnesota's roster depth, with the possibility that Beckham could be elevated from the practice squad to the active roster in time for the team's game on Sunday.
A new stop for a veteran receiver
Practice squad signings allow NFL teams to bring in additional players during the season without committing a spot on the 53-man active roster, while still giving the team the option to elevate a player for a specific game when needed.
Beckham has played for several NFL franchises over the course of his career, and a move to the Vikings' practice squad would mark his latest stop as he looks to continue contributing at the professional level.
Whether Beckham is elevated for Sunday's game will depend on the Vikings' roster needs and coaching staff decisions in the days leading up to kickoff. Teams are permitted a limited number of practice-squad elevations during the season, a factor that typically shapes which players get activated on a given week.
Further details about Beckham's role with the team, including how quickly he might be worked into the offense, were not immediately available.
