Giants' Odell Beckham Jr. 'Done Enough' to Make Roster
PUBLISHED Aug 29, 2026, 8:19 AM ET
New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. has demonstrated sufficient performance during training camp and preseason games to secure a place on the team's final 53-man roster, according to head coach John Harbaugh. Following Friday's preseason finale against the New York Jets, Harbaugh praised the 33-year-old veteran's efforts, though he stopped short of issuing an official roster confirmation. Beckham recorded seven receptions for 76 yards across preseason play, including a three-catch, 53-yard performance in the final exhibition match. This development marks Beckham's second stint with the Giants and reconnects him with Harbaugh, who previously coached him on the Baltimore Ravens in 2023. Roster opportunities opened further after wide receiver Calvin Austin suffered a knee injury, leaving Beckham and Braxton Berrios as primary contenders for lower-tier receiver slots. Despite nearing a roster return, analysts indicate Beckham currently holds minimal fantasy football value given his projected situational depth role.
