Odell Beckham Jr.'s return to the New York Giants has ended, as the team released the wide receiver on September 29. This marks the conclusion of his second tenure with the club, following his departure in 2019. Beckham's participation was limited this season, playing a mere 20 snaps across three games and being targeted only once. He was intended to provide depth to the offense. This decision comes as the Giants' offense undergoes changes, including the season-ending knee injury to Jaxson Dart. The team also recently traded for quarterback J.J. McCarthy on September 28. Beckham was firmly behind other receivers on the depth chart, with little opportunity for increased playing time without injuries to teammates.
