With an offense littered with injuries, the Los Angeles Rams have had to get creative to fill the hole left by Puka Nacua's absence. Nacua being out wasn't the only issue for the team, as Terrance Ferguson played injured on Sunday night and is likely to miss this week, while Colby Parkinson's status remains unknown.
The Rams have already shown a propensity to bring back veteran players, and if Nacua isn't able to go, a Super Bowl champion has recently become available.
According to NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo, the New York Giants are releasing Super Bowl LVI winner Odell Beckham Jr. after just three games this season. Beckham's return to the team that drafted him brings an end to his sixth NFL stop in his 12 seasons as a professional.

Beckham recorded zero catches during his second stint in New York. The All-Pro receiver was affected by the season-ending injury to quarterback Jaxson Dart, which occurred against the Rams in Week 2. Beckham is free to sign with any team.
Should the Rams give Beckham a call?
No. Beckham has had a remarkable career, and while some have to wonder about what could've been if not for so many injuries, I'd give the opinion that the fact he was able to carve out such a productive career with all his lower-body issues is a testament to his skill and work ethic.
There's zero reason he should even be able to play NFL football at 33 years old, given all the wear and tear from his career. With that being said, the Rams should probably ask Robert Woods if he can still play before giving Beckham a call. It's the reality, but Beckham was a non-factor in the Giants' offense. Now that they're transitioning away from Dart in 2026, there's really nothing that he adds to an offense.
The Rams are getting Nacua back at some point, Konata Mumpfield is emerging, Jordan Whittington is there, and the Rams already got their veteran back in Tutu Atwell.
As fun as the idea would be, the reality would be nothing different than what occurred in New York.
