Giants insider discusses Odell Beckham Jr.'s chances for the roster

Summary

As the New York Giants prepare for the 2026 NFL season, Odell Beckham Jr. attempts to secure a spot on the team's roster following a challenging period marked by injuries. After missing the entire 2025 season, Beckham has participated in two preseason games but has recorded modest statistics, with two catches for six yards in the first game and two catches for 17 yards in the second. Insider Connor Hughes noted that while Beckham shows promise by creating separation and running good routes, missed opportunities could impact his chances. The decision on his roster status may hinge on how many wide receivers the Giants ultimately choose to keep.
