New York Giants Releasing WR Odell Beckham Jr.
Beckham played just 20 snaps and drew one target in three games as the Giants cleared room for other receivers, NFL Network reported.
- The New York Giants released veteran wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. on Tuesday, ending his brief return to the franchise, as NFL Network reporters Mike Garafolo and Ian Rapoport confirmed the move was a mutual decision.
- Beckham, 33, struggled to secure consistent playing time after making the 53-man roster following a strong preseason, playing just 20 total snaps across three games with only one target and no receptions.
- The Giants promoted Braxton Berrios to the active roster to serve as the primary punt and kickoff returner, while the team's heavy tight end sets further limited Beckham's offensive opportunities.
- Head coach John Harbaugh had expressed a desire to increase Beckham's involvement, yet the team's run-heavy approach persisted; the release now provides the three-time Pro Bowler an opportunity to seek better utilization elsewhere.
- This roster move follows the Giants' recent trade for quarterback J.J. McCarthy after starter Jaxson Dart suffered a season-ending knee injury, and it remains unclear whether the veteran will find another NFL opportunity.
