The New York Giants release wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., ending his brief return to the team that drafted him. Multiple outlets report the move occurs after the reunion lasts only a few games, with Beckham Jr. finishing that stretch without recording a catch.
The reporting indicates the signing was intended to bolster a wide receiver group that was described as thin at the start of the regular season. Yahoo Sports notes the decision comes roughly three weeks into the season, while other outlets describe it as an early exit from the “nostalgic” reunion. Across the coverage, the central commonality is that the Giants part ways with Beckham Jr. shortly after adding him, with no new details provided in these summaries about a particular on-field incident.
