Vikings signing Odell Beckham Jr. to active roster ahead of Week 9

The Minnesota Vikings will be without WR Jauan Jennings on Monday night against the Buffalo Bills . To make up for the lost depth, the Vikings elevated another veteran wideout over the weekend to their active roster. On Sunday, Tom Pelissero reported that Minnesota was signing WR Odell Beckham Jr. to its active roster ahead of its Week 9 matchup. The former All-Pro receiver was signed to the Vikings' practice squad in October and had been elevated to the active roster for their Week 5 matchup against the New Orleans Saints . It remains to be seen if Beckham will be active for Monday's game, though. Despite his Week 5 elevation, Beckham was inactive against the Saints. With Jennings out, Minnesota will need to decide if the offense can count on Tai Felton and Myles Price in extended roles. Beckham played three games for the New York Giants this season, although he didn't register a reception. He hasn't caught a pass since Week 14 of the 2024 season, when he played for the Miami Dolphins .
