Vikings cut Odell Beckham Jr. to create roster space for Kirk Cousins

The Minnesota Vikings restructured their roster to accommodate quarterback Kirk Cousins, who was acquired from the Las Vegas Raiders for a 2027 third-round pick. To make room, the team waived wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., who had played only two snaps prior to the transaction. Beckham has a history with the Vikings and is expected to remain with the organization, returning to the practice squad after being cut. Cousins is anticipated to start against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday as he acclimates to the team's offense. The trade is still pending a physical examination, and other players have also been released from the practice squad.
