The Giants’ reunion with Odell Beckham Jr. is ending almost as quickly as it began.
According to NFL insider Jordan Schultz, New York is releasing Beckham after just three weeks back with the team. He didn’t record a single statistic during the stint, and the move comes ahead of Week 4.
“Sources: The Giants are releasing WR Odell Beckham Jr.,” Schultz reports.
Beckham’s return never really got off the ground. In the Giants’ rainy Week 3 win over the Tennessee Titans, he was on the field for only six snaps. Across his three games back in New York, he played 19 snaps and did not catch a pass.
The timing of the decision also fits with where the Giants are right now. They’re 2-1 and tied with the Philadelphia Eagles atop the NFC East, but with Jaxson Dart out for the season, the outlook for 2026 playoff hopes is bleak.
Even so, Beckham’s comeback was one of the reasons there was still something to watch this season, along with Malik Nabers, Cam Skattebo and the rookie class. Now that storyline is gone.
There is still a chance the Giants could bring Beckham back, though that would most likely mean a practice squad role. Braxton Berrios is expected to take Beckham’s roster spot, and New York is not expected to cut another receiver to keep Beckham on the 53-man roster.
If he doesn’t stick with the Giants in some form, Beckham will likely be looking elsewhere in free agency. The Los Angeles Rams are one team that could use wide receiver help, and other options are out there as well.
For now, though, the report appears to close the book on Beckham’s latest run in New York. It was a feel-good storyline to open the season, but it didn’t produce much beyond that.

Jerry Jones Just Turned Cowboys Loss Into An Accountability Fight
The Cowboys left Maracan Stadium with more than just a loss to the Ravens. A sequence of shaky play-calling helped turn a promising stretch into a field goal, and the late-game clock management only added to the frustration as Dallas tried to regroup from a trip that exposed some familiar issues on offense. With the Texans up next, the attention around the defeat has already shifted from what happened on the field to who should answer for it.
Jerry Jones made sure the conversation did not stay on the scoreboard. The Cowboys owner and general manager publicly questioned the coaching staff's decisions, while offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer accepted responsibility for a key third-down call. For a team trying to steady itself before another divisional test on the calendar, the bigger question now is whether this becomes a one-game critique or the start of a broader accountability push.

Cowboys Safety Crisis May Force A Move Faster Than Expected
Early in the 2026 season, the Cowboys are already dealing with a thin safety room after injuries have hit Malik Hooker, P.J. Locke and Jalen Thompson. The result is a depth chart that suddenly looks vulnerable, and it has pushed Dallas toward evaluating outside help before the problem gets any worse.
Several names are already in the mix as the team weighs its next step, including Caleb Ransaw, Cole Wisniewski, Donovan McMillon and free agent Donovan Wilson. However the Cowboys choose to patch the spot, the urgency is real, because safety is one of the few areas where an early-season injury pileup can force a move faster than a team planned.

Cowboys Rookie Defender Made A Strong Case In Brazil
The Cowboys trip to Brazil ended with a crushing loss to the Ravens on a last-second field goal, but the game still offered a useful early look at several rookies on Dallas defense. Caleb Downs, Malachi Lawrence, Jaishawn Barham and LT Overton all had moments that stood out in a game that gave the staff plenty to evaluate beyond the final score, especially with the spotlight on how the young players handled a high-pressure setting far from home.
There were encouraging flashes in the groups performance, and at least one of those rookies made a strong case with the kind of play that tends to catch coaches attention quickly. Still, the outing also showed the usual rookie growing pains, with each player leaving Brazil having given Dallas reasons to feel better about the future and reasons to keep coaching the details moving forward.
