The Los Angeles Rams have an injury-riddled wide receiver room, and on Tuesday, they opted not to make a trade for a wide receiver before the NFL's trade deadline. They're trusting their in-house talent to toe the line, while Davante Adams and Jordan Whittington work through their stints on injured reserve.
Puka Nacua is also hurt and is expected to miss at least a month, making him a likely candidate for injured reserve. As they work through these roster issues in order to have their team ready to go, a familiar face has become available to catch passes once again for the franchise.
Veteran receiver Odell Beckham Jr. has been released by the Minnesota Vikings and will re-sign with their practice squad, according to NFL Insider Ian Rapoport. Now
that he's on the practice squad, the Rams have the option to sign him straight to their active roster, as they did with Xavier Smith on Tuesday.

Beckham has played for the Vikings and New York Giants this season but has recorded no offensive stats.
He just turned 34 years old last week and was a member of the Rams for part of the 2021 season. Signed after his mid-season departure from the Cleveland Browns, Beckham played a major role in the team reaching Super Bowl LVI.
Beckham posted nine catches for 113 yards in the NFC Championship win over San Francisco, and had two catches for 52 yards and a touchdown before tearing his ACL in the second quarter of the Super Bowl. His score was critical in the 23-20 victory.
