Odell Beckham Jr.

NFL player. Position: WR. Team: MIN (Minnesota Vikings).

Quick Facts

  • Position: WR
  • Team: MIN (Minnesota Vikings)
  • Age: 33 (turning 34 in November 2026)
  • Prior stops: New York Giants (2026, 3 games), Miami Dolphins (2024)

2026 Outlook

Oct 10, 2026 — Elevated by Vikings to active roster: Odell Beckham Jr. was elevated from the Minnesota Vikings' practice squad to the active roster for Week 5 matchup against New Orleans. This reunites OBJ with HC Kevin O'Connell, who previously coordinated receivers for Beckham during the Los Angeles Rams' 2021 Super Bowl championship season (when OBJ caught 27 receptions for 305 yards and 5 TDs in 8 regular-season games). The elevation provides additional WR depth with Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison both dealing with injury concerns (ankle and hamstring, respectively). Beckham joins a WR room that also includes Jauan Jennings. (per Vikings reportedly elevate Odell Beckham Jr. with Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison...)

Oct 7, 2026 — Signs with Vikings practice squad: After being released by the Giants on Sept 29, Beckham signed with the Minnesota Vikings' practice squad, seeking a fresh start with head coach Kevin O'Connell, whom he worked with in Los Angeles during their 2021 Super Bowl run. (per Odell Beckham Jr. signs with Vikings' practice squad after release by Giants)

Sept 29, 2026 — Released by Giants after three weeks: Beckham's reunification with New York ended abruptly after just three games into the 2026 season. The 33-year-old played only 19 snaps across three games with just a single target (incomplete). Despite making the 53-man roster in late August, Beckham failed to make an on-field impact. The release stems from his inability to carve out a meaningful role in an offense reorienting around backup QB Jameis Winston (after Jaxson Dart's season-ending knee injury) and the Giants' need for roster flexibility with Braxton Berrios now the primary punt returner. (per Giants reportedly releasing WR Odell Beckham Jr. 3 games into his reunion with team, Sources: Giants to release fan favorite Odell Beckham Jr.)

June 1, 2026 — Signs with Giants: Odell Beckham Jr. returned to the New York Giants, marking a full-circle reunion with the team that drafted him 12th overall in 2014. HC John Harbaugh, who worked with OBJ during the 2023 season in Baltimore (when Beckham caught 35 passes for 565 yards and 3 TDs), now leads the Giants. Beckham worked out for the team twice during the offseason and signed as a free agent, alongside fellow WR Braxton Berrios. At 33 years old, Beckham's role was intended as a complementary depth piece rather than a No. 1 receiver, given limited recent production (9 games in 2024 with Dolphins: 9 catches for 55 yards; suspended 6 games in 2025 for PEDs). (per Giants sign Odell Beckham Jr.)

Role / Depth Chart

Veteran receiver depth piece with elevated opportunity following Calvin Austin III's season-ending ACL tear (Aug 26, 2026). While Braxton Berrios becomes the primary slot receiver, OBJ has potential for additional playing time and target share in the secondary receiver role, especially with Malik Nabers' lingering injury concerns.

Injury Status

Recently completed work with Miami; appears ready to play.

Open Questions

  • How much snap share will Beckham command given his depth role and age?
  • Can he provide reliable pass-catching support if Nabers faces another setback?
