Usually, when mid-season free agent signings land on a new team, there is an adjustment period while they become acclimated to the coaching staff, the locker room, and especially the playbook. It's not very often we see players like this hit the field during their first week with their new team, but according to one ESPN reporter, Minnesota's newest wide receiver could break that mold.
The Vikings signed free agent Odell Beckham Jr. to their practice squad this week, and according to ESPN's Kevin Seifert, there's a chance the former first-round pick could see live game reps against New Orleans on Sunday:

Kevin O’Connell says he thinks Odell Beckham Jr. can get ramped up quickly and be available Sunday in New Orleans if needed.
Given the injury woes the Vikings are currently facing in their wide receiver room, it would not be outside the realm of possibility to see Beckham suit up and see targets on Sunday. Should either Justin Jefferson or Jordan Addison be ruled out against the Saints, Beckham could make his season debut.
