Vikings Make Big Roster Decision on Ex-Giants WR Odell Beckham Jr.

The Minnesota Vikings are elevating wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. from their practice squad to the active roster ahead of Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints. Beckham joined Minnesota just days earlier on October 7, after being released by the New York Giants. The promotion provides Minnesota with receiving depth as two of their top wideouts enter the matchup listed as questionable.

Beckham's move to Minnesota reunites him with head coach Kevin O'Connell, who previously coached him with the Los Angeles Rams. The veteran receiver had signed a one-year, $1.3 million deal with New York during the offseason, but he recorded no receptions across four regular-season games before his release.
