Overview
- Beckham was released by the New York Giants on Sept. 29 after playing roughly 20 snaps and receiving one target across three early-season games.
- Multiple NFL insiders and the Vikings confirmed on Wednesday that Beckham signed to Minnesota’s practice squad and will join team practices this week.
- Any elevation to the 53-man roster depends on Justin Jefferson’s ankle recovery and the Vikings’ immediate roster needs for Sunday’s game against the New Orleans Saints.
- At 33 years old, Beckham has had an uneven recent stretch—he missed 2025, saw limited action in 2024, and posted 35 catches for 565 yards and three TDs with the Ravens in 2023.
- The move is a low-risk attempt to add veteran playmaking and familiarity with coach Kevin O’Connell and Justin Jefferson that could change target distribution if Beckham is activated.
