The comeback of wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. to the New York Giants<\/a> is complete. On Sunday afternoon, it became official: Beckham was named to the Giants’ 2026 initial 53-man roster.<\/p>\n

Beckham, who last played for the Giants in 2018, has never gotten the Giants out of his system and is both elated and grateful to be back in Blue.<\/p>\n

“I am excited. I found out when I was walking off the field,” Beckham told Anderson after practice. “Coach said congratulations, and he said that I worked hard. I told him I will give him everything I got. He said, ‘Let\u2019s go do it.’<\/p>\n

“After that, I went to the locker room and I just dapped up my teammates. Jameis (Winston) definitely gave love, and so did Jaxson (Dart). Everybody gave me love. Now I just got to go get it. I have one more gear to go; one more gear in me. I came to New York to give my all, and that’s what they\u2019re going to get out of me. To the city, to the fans, I love you.”<\/p>\n

Beckham, 33, will be a third or fourth option at wide receiver in a group that features Malik Nabers, Darius Slayton, Malachi Fields, and Darnell Mooney.<\/p>\n
