Vikings Sign Odell Beckham Jr., Jeshaun Jones To Practice Squad

The Minnesota Vikings signed veteran receiver Odell Beckham Jr. and returning receiver Jeshaun Jones to their practice squad ahead of Week 5 against the New Orleans Saints. The team also activated center Michael Jurgens and tight end Ben Yurosek from injured reserve. Beckham, who previously played for the Rams in Super Bowl LVI where he scored a touchdown early but left with an injury later that game, has known Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell since 2014 when drafted by New York Giants. He stated during his time with the Giants they gave him "the run along" and could have been making an impact elsewhere in 2026.
