Wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. has made the New York Giants’ 53-man roster, according to a league source who was not permitted to speak publicly. The news cements a reunion with the franchise that drafted him over a decade ago.Earlier this week, Beckham making the Giants felt far from assured. In fact, there was plenty of reason to think the 33-year-old receiver would not earn a spot on the opening roster, as he struggled to break through in training camp. However, roster calculations changed after Calvin Austin III tore his ACL. The slot receiver had been a featured player throughout the summer and was expected to be a roster lock.Top Plays from Giants @ JetsMeanwhile, Beckham — who signed a one-year deal with the Giants in June to help add depth as Malik Nabers and Darius Slayton recovered from injuries — timed his resurgence well, with two strong practices and a solid preseason finale on the cusp of the Austin injury.“I think Odell’s had a good camp,” Harbaugh said Wednesday. “I would say his best week of camp has come this week. He’s looked good and made numerous plays.”That trend continued Friday, with Beckham making three catches for 53 yards against the Jets on Friday night, prompting Harbaugh to say that while he didn’t want to guarantee anything, Beckham had shown enough to make the team.“I think he has done enough to make an NFL roster, for sure,” Harbaugh said. “He’s played well, and he’s gotten better as his camp’s gone along. He deserves credit for that. He’s done a really good job with it.Beckham started to look a little more like his old self this past week, which included making a particularly special one-handed grab that evoked memories of the Beckham the Giants selected with the 12th pick in the 2014 draft. That player emerged as one of the league’s best playmakers, collecting 91 passes for 1,305 yards and 12 touchdowns to earn NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year honors. Beckham made three Pro Bowls and two All-Pro teams during his five-year stint in New York before he was traded to the Cleveland Browns following the 2018 season.What it'd mean to Odell Beckham Jr. to make the Giants' 53-man rosterCharlotte CarrollSince then, Beckham’s had his ups-and-downs, best encapsulated by winning a Super Bowl with the Los Angeles Rams in 2021 where he tore his ACL for a second time during the second half of the big game. After missing the 2022 season, Beckham joined Harbaugh with the Baltimore Ravens for the 2023 season. He then played nine games for the Dolphins in 2024 but remained unsigned last season as he served a six-game suspension for violating the NFL’s policy on performance-enhancing drugs.Before signing with the Giants in June, Beckham worked out for New York and underwent a physical in the week leading up to the NFL Draft, but no move was made. In his post-draft press conference, coach John Harbaugh said Beckham “looked good” and that the two sides would continue to remain in touch.What followed was an understanding of what would be required of the veteran and that there would be no guarantees.“It has always been about proving it to myself,” Beckham said in June. “There’s always a little bit of you want to prove it to everybody else. Deep down inside to me, it was about proving to me, believing in me, believing in what God had given me and my abilities. I like it this way. I feel like it’s going to elevate me, it’s going to bring me up to have to earn it.“Coach (Harbaugh) and I talked about that. I think that was one of his fears. He was like, ‘I love you so much; I’ve got so much respect for you. I don’t want to bring you here and have to cut you. I’m like, ‘Listen, I’m going out on my sword either way it goes. If that’s what you’ve got to do, you see I’m not best or fit, then by all means I’m good with it; I can live with it. I can’t live with sitting at home not doing it, you know? I just couldn’t do it. Like I said, it’s not who I am, so … I’m just here to enjoy the moment, work hard, we’ll see what happens.”What’s happened is Beckham is back playing in front of the fan base that loved him so much a decade ago and hasn’t stopped. He was a fan favorite and garnered some of the loudest cheers in the limited practices open to fans this camp down in West Virginia.“I have so much love for this organization, this city,” Beckham said in June. “I’ve got New York tatted on my back; you know what I mean? And I’m from New Orleans. So, all I ever wanted to do was win a championship for the New York Giants and just having an opportunity right now to — the end goal in mind, but stack those days, that’s all I want to do for this city, this organization, is bring one home.”
