The New York Giants have signed receiver Odell Beckham Jr. after a second workout on June 1, 2026. The decision comes amidst injury concerns, with kick returner Gunner Olszewski suffering a torn Achilles and uncertainties regarding the season opener for rookie Malik Nabers. Beckham offers veteran presence but is not expected to play a primary role as younger players like Nabers, Darnell Mooney, and Calvin Austin III are positioned as key contributors. The Giants will look to integrate Beckham as a mentor when mandatory minicamp begins on June 8.
