Overview
- Beckham originally joined Minnesota’s practice squad after the New York Giants released him and signed with the Vikings on October 7.
- The team elevated Beckham for Monday Night Football and he played two offensive snaps on Monday, November 9, without recording a catch.
- Minnesota terminated Beckham’s contract on Tuesday, November 10, to open a 53-man roster spot for the Kirk Cousins trade from the Las Vegas Raiders.
- Multiple reports on November 11–12 state the Vikings intend to re-sign Beckham to the practice squad, which would let the team use up to three game-day elevations or reset those elevation counters with the new stint.
- Former MVP Cam Newton publicly criticized the way Beckham has been handled and invited him onto his podcast, and the immediate question now is whether the Vikings will elevate or sign Beckham to the active roster before their next game.
