The New York Giants are open to the return of Odell Beckham Jr.<\/a>, but it won\u2019t be an easy task. Jon Schoen, the team\u2019s general manager, acknowledged that they first want to assess his physical and technical condition.<\/p>\n

\u201cSomebody that hasn\u2019t played, in this instance you\u2019re talking about Odell hasn\u2019t played in a year, you\u2019d certainly want to see him work out,\u201c Schoen said via nbcsports.com.<\/p>\n

Amid roster construction and with several options at his position, OBJ<\/a>\u2019s return is still unconfirmed. Will the wide receiver finally get his second chance in the Big Apple? The Giants could also face competition from the Chiefs to get Beckham Jr<\/a>.<\/p>\n

OBJ\u2019s latest NFL performance<\/p>\n

Odell Beckham Jr.\u2019s most recent NFL<\/a> season was in 2024 with the Miami Dolphins, where he had a limited role after starting the year on the Physically Unable to Perform list. In nine games, he recorded just 9 receptions for 55 yards and no touchdowns before being released. <\/p>\n

The veteran wideout is not the only player interested in returning to New York though. Apart from Beckham Jr., the Giants got a reunion request from Super Bowl champion Jason Pierre-Paul<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Odell\u2019s devastating injuries<\/p>\n

OBJ\u2019s career has been significantly hampered by severe injuries, most notably two ACL tears in the same left knee\u2014the first in 2020 with the Browns and the second during Super Bowl LVI with the Rams. <\/p>\n

He also suffered a broken left ankle in 2017 that required surgery and ended his season, along with various high-ankle sprains and core muscle injuries that have altered his explosive playstyle over the years.<\/p>\n

Alternatives in the Giants\u2019 receiving corps<\/p>\n

The Giants<\/a>\u2018 2026 receiving corps is led by dynamic star Malik Nabers and the reliable Darius Slayton, who remains a consistent deep threat. This duo anchors a unit focused on explosive plays, complemented by Darnell Mooney to round out a high-ceiling passing attack.<\/p>\n
