John Harbaugh's remarks on Odell Beckham Jr. raise roster questions

Summary

Odell Beckham Jr.'s NFL comeback faces uncertainty following comments from Giants head coach John Harbaugh after the preseason finale against the Jets. Harbaugh stated Beckham had done enough to make 'an NFL roster,' but did not confirm a spot on the Giants specifically. This phrasing has led to speculation about Beckham's future with the team, as the Giants approach the deadline to finalize their 53-man roster. Beckham, who has made a return after nearly two years, caught three passes for 53 yards in the recent game and has faced competition from other receivers for a roster spot.
