Odell Beckham Jr.'s return to the New York Giants lasted just three games with no catches.
The Giants released Beckham and signed receiver/returner Braxton Berrios off the practice squad on Tuesday. The 33-year-old was thrown at just once during his brief cameo back with the team that drafted him.
Beckham made the roster out of training camp after being out of football for more than a year. Berrios was out of practice squad promotions, hence the need to clear a spot.
The Giants play the Cardinals on Sunday.
Senate's bill awaits House
The Senate passed a bill aimed at controlling spending and addressing issues in college sports.
The bill, which took over four months to pass, faces challenges in the House. Sen. Ted Cruz hopes the House will pass it within four weeks, but the House isn't scheduled to return until after the midterm elections. Some Republicans and Democrats have concerns about the bill, including antitrust protections and the employment status of student-athletes.
The bill offers lawsuit protections to the NCAA and increases revenue-sharing with athletes. If the bill doesn't pass, conferences may consider self-governance models.
In the meantime, the conferences have been talking about a self-governance model for months, a plan with rules they could enforce that wouldn't be dependent on Congress passing a law and somehow avoid being subject to antitrust challenges.
