Odell Beckham: Reverts to practice squad
The Vikings reverted Beckham to their practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.Beckham signed to Minnesota's practice squad Wednesday and was elevated ahead of Sunday, but he ended up being a healthy scratch even though Jordan Addison (hamstring) didn't suit up. It remains to be seen how much of a role Beckham will have with the Vikings; he may need some time to familiarize himself with the playbook before being active on game day, and even then he probably won't be more than a depth option at wideout.

Vikings' Odell Beckham: Inactive in Week 5
Beckham (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game in New Orleans.Only four days removed from the Minnesota Vikings signing Beckham to the practice squad and elevating him ahead of Week 5 action, he'll be a healthy scratch in his first chance to contribute to Minnesota's offense. With Jordan Addison (hamstring) also inactive Sunday, the team's available wide receivers Sunday will be Justin Jefferson (ankle), Jauan Jennings, Tai Felton, Myles Price and Jeshaun Jones.

Vikings' Odell Beckham: Up from practice squad
The Minnesota Vikings officially elevated Beckham from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game in New Orleans, Craig Peters of the team's official site reports.With Justin Jefferson (ankle) and Jordan Addison (hamstring) tending to injuries and listed as questionable for Week 5 action, Minnesota has brought in reinforcements from the practice squad in the form of Beckham and Jeshaun Jones. Beckham only joined the team Wednesday, so even if he ends up being active, he likely doesn't have a bevy of situations in which he'll see the field.

Vikings' Odell Beckham: In line for elevation
The Minnesota Vikings are expected to elevate Beckham from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game at New Orleans, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.Beckham caught on with Minnesota midweek and now has a chance to make his debut with the team as soon as Sunday, which may be contingent on the health of fellow WRs Justin Jefferson (ankle) and Jordan Addison (hamstring), both of whom are questionable for Week 5. If even one of Jefferson or Addison is inactive, Beckham seems poised to suit up, but what kind of role he can expect alongside Jauan Jennings, Tai Felton and Myles Price remains to be seen.

Odell Beckham: Catches on with Vikings
Beckham agreed Wednesday to sign with the Vikings' practice squad, according to NFL reporter Jordan Schultz.After winning a spot on the Giants' roster coming out of the preseason, Beckham struggled to find playing time, logging just one target and logging 20 total snaps before he was cut following Week 3. He was able to find a new opportunity with the Vikings, who can elevate Beckham for up to three games before he would need to be signed to the 53-man roster in order to continue playing for the team. Unless top wideout Justin Jefferson's ankle injury costs him more time, Beckham may still face an uphill battle to earning meaningful snaps in a Vikings receiver room that also includes Jordan Addison, Jauan Jennings and Tai Felton.

Odell Beckham: Cut by Giants
The Giants plan to release Beckham on Tuesday, Mike Garafolo and Ian Rapoport of NFL Network report.Beckham's second stint in New York will end with a whimper, as he failed to haul in his lone target while playing just 20 total snaps over the Giants' first three games of the season. Since the 33-year-old wasn't able to earn consistent snaps in the receiver rotation and didn't contribute on special teams, the Giants deemed him an expandable piece. Beckham will look to find work elsewhere, but he could struggle to land with a team willing to give him meaningful playing time.

Giants' Odell Beckham: Less usage in Week 2 loss
Beckham played three of the New York Giants' 58 offensive snaps and did not see a target in Monday's 28-6 loss to the Rams.Beckham has logged only 14 snaps on offense without recording a target through the first two games of the regular season. Despite the lack of usage, the veteran wide receiver could factor more into the Giants' gameplan moving forward if Malik Nabers were to miss time due to a shoulder injury that he sustained during Monday's loss. The Giants will head back MetLife Stadium to host the Titans on Sunday.

Giants' Odell Beckham: Logs 11 snaps in season opener
Beckham played 11 of New York's 69 offensive snaps and didn't see a target in Sunday's Week 1 win over Dallas.Beckham's return to the New York Giants was uneventful, as he didn't have any passes thrown his way during his limited time on the field. Though Beckham's return to New York is a feel-good story, the veteran wideout appears to be no higher than fourth in the team's WR pecking order. Unless that changes, Beckham isn't likely to be an attractive fantasy asset.

Giants' Odell Beckham: Three catches in final push for roster spot
Beckham caught three of six targets for 53 yards in Friday's 23-6 preseason win over the Jets.Beckham led the New York Giants with six targets and finished one receiving yard behind Xavier Gipson's team-leading figure in Friday's preseason finale. It remains to be seen if Beckham has done enough to secure a roster spot with the team that drafted him in the first round back in 2014, though the math looks more favorable for the veteran WR after Calvin Austin's season-ending knee injury moved Beckham up a rung on the depth chart.
