Odell Beckham Jr. steps up after Calvin Austin’s injury as NY Giants make roster additions

Calvin Austin’s recent injury altered the New York Giants’ plans for building their roster, although Odell Beckham Jr.’s outstanding level of play in recent practices has provided a boost. John Harbaugh’s team, looking to strengthen its offense, added a new wide receiver as well as a tight end.

According to the Giants’ official website, the G-Men added veteran Josiah Deguara as well as rookie Kobe Prentice, who joins the receiving corps. That said, it appears he is behind OBJ on the depth chart, with Beckham Jr. seemingly having a clear path to securing a spot on the 53-man roster.

OBJ has had a strong performance in his latest practice, according to multiple reports. At this crucial stage in the decision-making process, the veteran appears to be convincing the coaching staff to keep him on the team, with Harbaugh also confirming Beckham Jr.’s positive performance.

Also, as the insider Dan Duggan revealed on his X account, another receiver who stood out during the latest practice was Darnell Mooney. It appears that the Giants’ passing attack will be well covered heading into the upcoming season.

Another active day for OBJ

Odell Beckham Jr.’s connection with his quarterbacks is slowly starting to take shape during a crucial stage of preparation. The wide receiver not only caught passes from Jaxson Dart but also developed an intriguing rapport with Jameis Winston.
