ESPN • • sports
Key Points:
- The Minnesota Vikings signed free agent receiver Odell Beckham Jr. to their practice squad and may activate him for Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints due to injuries to top receivers Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison.
- Jefferson is recovering from an ankle injury and practiced on a limited basis Wednesday, while Addison is expected to miss the game with a hamstring injury.
- Beckham would add depth alongside younger receivers Tai Felton and Myles Price, with coach Kevin O'Connell confident Beckham can quickly adapt to their offensive system if needed.
- The Vikings have started the season 4-0 despite offensive struggles, and Beckham, 33, is seeking to revive his career after limited playtime with the Giants and Miami Dolphins in recent seasons.
- Jauan Jennings, the Vikings' third receiver, has had minimal impact in the passing game but contributes positively as a blocker in the run game according to O'Connell.
