Odell Beckham Jr. was on the field for three plays on Monday night
The first real sighting of Giants receiver Odell Beckham Jr. on Monday night happened when ESPN cameras captured him giving his former head coach, Sean McVay, a post-game hug. During the game, OBJ made even less of a cameo appearance. Beckham was on the field for only three snaps. Out of 58 total offensive plays. By way of comparison, Malachi Fields had 47 snaps. Malik Nabers played 43. Darnell Mooney was on the field for 42. Even Braxton Berrios — primarily a special-teamer — had five offensive snaps. Making the lack of involvement from Beckham more surprising is the fact that starting quarterback Jaxson Dart made an early exit with a knee injury. Beckham and backup quarterback Jameis Winston have a strong rapport, and Winston struggled in relief of Dart, completing 11 of 27 throws. Why not give Beckham and Winston a chance to connect? The other question is whether Beckham has frustrations regarding his lack of involvement. Yes, he’s apparently happy to simply be back in the NFL after a year out of football. But, with only three snaps in a prime-time game, is he really back? In Week 1, Beckham was on the field for 11 of 69 snaps. He has been targeted zero times, through two games. From the Giants’ perspective, it’s fair to wonder whether a game-day roster spot is being wasted on someone who isn’t contributing to the cause. As MDS points out, the Giants have receiver Dalen Cambre on the practice squad. He was second in the NCAA in special-teams tackles as a senior, and he blocked two punts at the college level. Yes, the Giants bringing Beckham back to Big Blue is a good story. The fans love him. But the early-season trends aren’t encouraging. At some point, they’re going to need his roster spot. Especially if they don’t put Dart on IR and add another quarterback (other than Berrios) to serve as the backup to Winston

Giants waive WR Jalin Hyatt among moves to get to 53 players
Odell Beckham Jr. has made the Giants’ initial 53-man roster and his No. 13 jersey is now available. Wide receiver Jalin Hyatt was among the cuts that the Giants made to get down to the roster limit. Hyatt was a 2023 third-round pick, but he only caught 36 passes over his first three NFL seasons. The Giants also waived or released quarterbacks Brandon Allen and Jake Haener; wide receivers Braxton Berrios, Dalen Cambre, Xavier Gipson, Isaiah Hodgins, and Kobe Prentice; defensive linemen Anquin Barnes, Ben Barten, Marlon Davidson, Leki Fotu, Josh Topou, and Zacch Pickens; linebackers Trace Ford, Khalid Kareem, Chandler Martin, Darius Muasau, Caleb Murphy, and Anfernee Orji; defensive backs Ugo Amadi, Beau Brade, Art Green, Raheem Layne, and J.T. Woods; offensive linemen Jarrod Gray, Brenden Jaimes, Jake Kubas, Evan Neal, Lucas Patrick, and Ryan Schernecke; running backs Damon Bankston, Grant Finley, and Eric Gray; tight ends Tanner Conner and Josiah Deguara; and kicker Ben Sauls. Cornerback Korie Black was placed on injured reserve and designated for return

John Harbaugh: Odell Beckham has had a "good camp"
Odell Beckham has not played an NFL game since Dec. 8, 2024, with the Dolphins, as he sat out the 2025 season. He has played only 23 games over the past four seasons. So, when he rejoined the Giants this offseason on a one-year, minimum deal, the question was always: Will he make the 53-player roster? That remains to be seen, but coach John Harbaugh talked up Beckham on Wednesday. “I think Odell’s had a good camp ,” Harbaugh said, via Jordan Raanan of ESPN. “I would say his best week of camp has come this week. He’s looked good and made numerous plays. Just like you saw. Even [Wednesday, he] made numerous plays. So, he’s doing that.” Beckham caught four passes for 23 yards in the first two preseason games, and he is expected to play in Friday’s preseason finale against the Jets. He dropped a touchdown pass against the Dolphins last weekend. “I think the kid can still play,” Giants General Manager Joe Schoen said earlier in the day on WFAN Sports Radio. “He’s going to play on Friday, and we’re going to continue to evaluate those guys. But he has shown enough that he can still play.” Wide receiver Calvin Austin III has a season-ending ACL tear in his right knee, so it’s next-man-up for the Giants. That could open up a roster spot for Beckham. “It just means that the next guy steps up and fills that role,” Harbaugh said. “We have to readjust, and those roles have to be filled, those jobs have to be done. And the next person will do that.” Malik Nabers, third-round pick Malachi Fields, Darnell Mooney and Darius Slayton are locks to make the roster. Dalen Cambre can play special teams, so he would have an edge on Beckham if it comes down to that. Beckham is 33, hasn’t made a Pro Bowl since 2016 and hasn’t had a 1,000-yard season since 2019. So this could be his last best chance to make an NFL roster

Giants list Odell Beckham Jr. as third-string WR on initial depth chart
The Giants released their first depth chart of the summer on Wednesday and it provides a view of how Odell Beckham Jr.'s bid to make the team is shaping up. Beckham is listed on the third string along with three other wideouts. Reports from camp last week had Beckham, who did not play at all in 2025, getting reps with the first team, but it will be hard for a player who doesn’t play on special teams to make the cut from his current spot on the depth chart. Darius Slayton is listed as a starter along with Malik Nabers with Calvin Austin, Darnell Mooney and Jalin Hyatt on the second rung. Hyatt’s placement is a bit surprising based on how reports from camp about how the receiver reps are doled out. Isaiah Hodgins, Dalen Cambre, and rookie Malachi Fields join Beckham on the third string with JuJu Smith-Schuster and Braxton Berrios on the fourth row. Berrios is also listed as the top punt returner. Teams stress the unofficial nature of these depth charts, so the way they line up in preseason games may prove to be more telling about how things will play out for the Giants. Their first game is Saturday against the Vikings

NY Giants wide receiver transformation since end of 2025 is astonishing
The tripleheader of wide receiver signings by the New York Giants on Monday completed what is a stunning makeover at the position since the end of the 2025 season. Here is what the Giants’ wide receiver depth chart looked like in the 2025 Week 18 season finale against the Dallas Cowboys : IR — Malik Nabers , Wan’Dale Robinson Robinson spent the final week of the season on IR after crossing the 1,000-yard mark for the season the week before, the only time in his four years with the Giants that he did so. Game day roster — Darius Slayton , Ryan Miller , Jalin Hyatt , Gunner Olszewski , Dalen Cambre , Isaiah Hodgins Practice squad — Xavier Gipson , Ihmir Smith-Marsette While Nabers is the team’s No. 1 wide receiver, his uncertain status as he grinds away at rehab from a pair of surgeries for a torn ACL and other injuries makes it possible that the only wide receiver from the group above who could be on the Week 1 roster is Slayton. The Giants have added five capable veteran wide receivers in free agency. They signed Darnell Mooney and Calvin Austin earlier in free agency, then struck deals with Odell Beckham Jr. , Braxton Berrios , and JuJu Smith-Schuster on Monday. They surrendered a pair of draft picks to move up in the 2026 NFL Draft and select wide receiver Malachi Fields in Round 3. Add the tight end swap on Isaiah Likely in place of Daniel Bellinger , and the Giants have transformed their receiving group into a much deeper, more experienced group for Jaxson Dart to throw to. Monday’s moves by the Giants seem only partially necessitated by Friday’s season-ending injury to Gunner Olszewski. It is entirely possible that Harbaugh and the Giants looked at the receivers after two weeks of OTAs and realized they did not have enough firepower. Let’s break down the wide receivers on the 90-man roster and see where the pieces might fit. Below, my initial expectations on who will and will not make the team, and thoughts on each player. Odell Beckham Jr. 2.0: Can the Giants get the 2023 version of OBJ? Malik Nabers — I think this is where the situation with Nabers is headed. The last time he spoke about Nabers, head coach John Harbaugh did not seem optimistic that he would be healthy enough to begin the season. Nabers did participate in the Brian Burns Charity Softball Game, but seemed to move carefully and was said to be limping. Nabers has said there was a lot going on with his knee, and he had a second “clean up” surgery this offseason. Just an educated guess, but I think one of the reasons the Giants were so aggressive on Monday in adding wide receivers is that they aren’t sure when Nabers will be ready to play. Darius Slayton — Don’t forget about the 29-year-old, now the longest-tenured Giant. He has missed spring workouts due to surgery to repair a sports hernia, but he will almost certainly be on the roster and have a role in the offense. Cutting Slayton would cost the Giants $15.749 million in dead money against the cap, and it would be stunning if they were to take that hit. Slayton did not have his best season in 2025. His 37 catches and 538 receiving yards were the second-lowest totals of his career, and his drop rate of 7.9% spiked to its highest mark since he dropped 9.9% of passes thrown to him in 2022. Still, Slayton has always shown the ability to bounce back and play himself into having a key role. Despite all the changes, that could be the case again. Darnell Mooney — Mooney’s best has been better than Slayton’s best. Mooney has 1,000-yard and 900-yard receiving seasons on his resume. Slayton’s best is 770 yards. Mooney has 81, 64, and 61-catch seasons across his six-year career. Slayton’s best is 50 catches. Mooney, 28, had his best season — 81 catches, 1,055 yards — playing for Giants offensive coordinator Matt Nagy with the Chicago Bears in 2021. The Giants would take a $3 million cap hit if they cut Mooney. If they traded him, which seems unlikely, that hit would reduce to $1.785 million. Moone [... truncated ...]

Better or worse? NY Giants should be better at wide receiver
We are now in the throes of the NFL offseason, and the vast majority of roster building has been done. So, let’s begin going position-by-position through the New York Giants roster to see if they are better, worse, or perhaps the same as they were in 2025. We will begin at wide receiver. Key additions: Darnell Mooney, Calvin Austin , Malachi Fields Key losses: Wan’Dale Robinson Roster : Darius Slayton , Gunner Olszewski , Malik Nabers , Darnell Mooney, Ryan Miller , Jalin Hyatt , Isaiah Hodgins , Xavier Gipson , Malachi Fields , Beaux Collins , Dalen Cambre , Calvin Austin III *** Rookies in bold For starters, because they should have some version of their best player, Malik Nabers for more than three-plus games. Even if Nabers isn’t fully back to 2024 form, he will still make some plays and be a weapon defenses need to pay extra attention to. His presence alone should make the group better than it was a year ago. Next, because they have depth. Darnell Mooney and Calvin Austin are legitimate NFL receivers, and Malachi Fields adds youth, size and potential to help the passing and running games. The Giants shouldn’t be stuck playing Jalin Hyatt, or trolling the NFL scrap heap for players like Ray Ray McCloud . Maybe Nabers won’t be healthy, or will just be a shell of the star he was in 2024. Maybe the Giants will miss Wan’Dale Robinson more than we think. Maybe Mooney and Austin aren’t the upgrades we think they are, and Fields turns out to be a big, slow guy who can’t get open and can’t catch. Maybe Darius Slayton has one of those years he is prone to where catching the ball seems optional. Maybe tight end Isaiah Likely , who is expected to often function as a big slot receiver, isn’t up to the task of being more than the secondary target he was with the Baltimore Ravens . SHOULD be better. They should have Malik Nabers for more than three-plus, and they should be deeper than they were a year ago. If Darnell Mooney remotely close to the 1,000-yard season he had playing for Matt Nagy with the Chicago Bears in 2021, that would be massive. You never know what will happen with injuries, but when I look down the depth chart I feel better about what I see than I did a year ago
