Odell Beckham Jr. earns Giants roster spot following successful preseason

Wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. secured a spot on the New York Giants' 53-man roster after participating in the team’s full offseason program. The 33-year-old veteran spent a year away from the league before signing with the team this past spring. While he recorded seven catches for 76 yards during the preseason, analysts question his ability to return to his previous level of play. Shannon Sharpe noted that returning players often face skepticism from organizations regarding their ability to serve as primary receiving threats. Beckham is set to play in the team's season opener against the Dallas Cowboys on September 13. The outcome of that contest may clarify his role within the offensive rotation.
