- John Harbaugh confirmed Odell Beckham Jr. "has done enough to make an NFL roster, for sure," praising the receiver's improvement throughout training camp and calling it a job well earned.
- Beckham caught three passes for 53 yards in the Giants' 23-6 preseason win over the Jets, including a near 73-yard touchdown that went incomplete when backup Jameis Winston underthrew him.
- On that play, Beckham hit 20.54 mph — the second-fastest non-special teams speed recorded in the game — and said he believes he can reach 21 mph soon.
- Beckham had just nine catches with the Miami Dolphins in 2024 and sat out 2025 entirely before signing with the Giants this spring following a pair of workouts.
- The 33-year-old Beckham, originally a Giants first-round pick in 2014, hasn't missed a practice this summer and consistently created separation, with Harbaugh noting he had his "best week" of camp right before the deadline.
- NFL teams must finalize their rosters by Sunday at 6 p.m. ET.
Why it matters: Beckham, 33, is poised to return to the Giants roster — the team that drafted him in 2014 — after a two-year absence from meaningful NFL action, with the Sunday 6 p.m. ET cut deadline now the only formal step between him and a comeback spot.
