At the same time, Newsday reported that Minnesota’s passing offense has been lagging, prompting the need for additional weapons. ESPN confirmed Beckham’s addition to the practice squad, reinforcing the team’s strategy to bolster the receiving group while evaluating his fit within the offensive scheme.
