Quick Summary

Odell Beckham Jr., who was released by the New York Giants after limited playing time in three games, has signed with the Minnesota Vikings' practice squad. The move comes as the Vikings face wide receiver injuries, potentially giving Beckham Jr. more opportunities to play. Kyler Murray will be passing to Beckham Jr. for practice sessions, though there are no regular-season matchups against his former team this year due to scheduling.

Story summary

Odell Beckham Jr., who was released by the New York Giants after playing just 20 snaps over three games, has signed with the Minnesota Vikings' practice squad. Initially expected to contribute significantly following an injury to Calvin Austin III, Beckham's role diminished rapidly due to his placement at the bottom of the Giants' depth chart. The Vikings are currently dealing with injuries in their wide receiver corps, particularly Justin Jefferson who is battling a high ankle sprain. This situation could provide Beckham Jr. more opportunities for playing time and he may catch passes from quarterback Kyler Murray, although there's no scheduled game between the Vikings and Giants this season to seek personal revenge.

🔮 Beckham Jr. was expected to be a key contributor for the Giants after Calvin Austin III went out with an injury, but that did not materialize.
🔮 James signed for the league minimum to facilitate the deal and be able to sign wherever he wanted, and reports have trickled out that Michael Rubin, the billionaire owner of Fanatics who used to be a part owner of the 76ers, might have a bit more to do with James’ decision than was previously known.
🔮 The star Ravens quarterback could miss multiple games with an ankle injury he suffered Sunday in Baltimore’s 24-18 victory over the Titans, with NFL Network reporting Tuesday morning that Jackson is unlikely to play in Week 5.
🔮 Try it freeIt would have been difficult for Chisholm Jr. to turn the double play with Junior Caminero hustling down the line but Chisholm’s out-of-control throw added to the Yankees’ first-inning woes that started with a Ryan McMahon error on a Diaz grounder to start the game.
🔮 This line seems to imply that Jayden Daniels will be active for the Commanders, but there’s really nothing that points to that being the case. Add-in the fact that Marcus Mariota was also declared out at halftime of Sunday’s game in London and Washington may really be down to a third-string quarterback when they face the division rival Giants. Mariota is out with an MCL sprain, while Daniels hasn’t practiced since he injured his elbow earlier in the season.
🔮 Gavin Williams gets the ball for the Guardians on Monday, while Chicago goes with an opener for this must-win Game 2.
🔮 Now, in a potential shootout and a high-powered Saints offense at home, that might not carry over too far, but if it comes down to it late, I easily trust the Falcons defense to get a stop over the Saints.
🔮 The Bills will need to turn it around quickly as they face the Super Bowl favorite Rams next week.
🔮 Rain is in the forecast for “Sunday Night Football,” and the Panthers better hope it’s a serious amount to keep this game low-scoring.
🔮 In a game that I expect could feature tons of points, back Tuten to be unleashed this weekend by a high-profile offense.
