Beckum signed with the Saints on Wednesday.

Beckum spent his first three seasons with the Giants; however, his career took a downward turn in New York's 2012 Super Bowl victory, when Beckum suffered a torn ACL in the second quarter. Since then, Beckhum has spent time on injured reserve, in addition to being signed by the Seahawks last February. Ultimately, Beckum couldn't stick with Seattle, who released him in May. Now, Beckum will aim to show the Saints' coaching staff he is healthy enough to merit a roster spot.

Free agent TE Travis Beckum worked out for the Bears on Wednesday.

Chicago also had free agent G Thomas Austin in for the tryout. Beckum, the 100th overall pick in the 2009 draft, spent three months on the Seahawks' roster over winter, but was cut before OTAs. He hasn't been the same since tearing his ACL when the Giants won their last Super Bowl. Beckum is nearing the end of the road.

Beckum was on the roster for just over three months. He's played just 23 snaps since the start of the 2012 season. Beckum, a former third-round pick, hasn't gotten over a February 2012 torn ACL. He may be at the end of the line.

The Lions have "inquired about" free agent TE Travis Beckum.

Beckum, 26, played just 23 snaps in four games for the Giants last season, but he didn't record a single catch as he recovered from a torn ACL. The former third-round pick says the knee is now "healthy." Beckum would provide depth behind Brandon Pettigrew and Tony Scheffler.

Beckum has played in three games this season after being activated off PUP prior to Week 9. He tore his ACL in last year's Super Bowl and hasn't registered on the stat sheet this season. As the back-up to Martellus Bennett, Beckum has zero fantasy value.

Giants activated TE Travis Beckum (torn ACL) from the PUP list and waived OG Mitch Petrus.

Beckum tore his ACL in last year's Super Bowl. The pass-catching tight end began practicing this week in a limited fashion, so it's a bit of a surprise activation. Beckum will slot in behind Martellus Bennett, so there's no fantasy value here. Petrus has been with the Giants since they took him in the fifth round of the 2010 Draft.

The Giants haven't ruled out TE Travis Beckum (PUP, knee) for Sunday's game against the Cowboys.

Beckum returned to practice this week, but his level of participation isn't yet known. The Giants have three weeks to add him to their 53-man roster. If they decide not to activate Beckum, he'll be placed on season-ending injured reserve.

Giants TE Travis Beckum (knee) returned to practice Wednesday.

The Giants now have three weeks to decide if Beckum will come off PUP and be promoted to the active roster. The pass-catching tight end is coming off a torn ACL sustained in last year's Super Bowl. There's no fantasy appeal here as long as Martellus Bennett sustains health.

Giants TE Travis Beckum (knee) is not ready to practice yet.

As a reserve/PUP player, Beckum is eligible to start practicing this week. It won't happen even though he's nearly eight months removed from surgery. The Giants have a three-week window to determine if they'll active Beckum or place him on season-ending injured reserve.

Giants TE Travis Beckum (ACL surgery) said he has been making cuts and running at full speed for 1 1/2 months.

Beckum tore his ACL during the Super Bowl last year. He's eligible to come off the PUP list next week and then the Giants will have a three-week window to determine if they'll add him to the active roster. If healthy, Beckum would slot in as a pass-catching tight end behind Martellus Bennett.

Giants placed TE Travis Beckum (ACL surgery) on reserve/PUP.

The Giants have been prepping for this ever since Beckum tore his right ACL in the Super Bowl. Free agent pickup Martellus Bennett is the new starter and fourth-round selection Adrien Robinson is the backup. Beckum is eligible to return for Week 7.

Travis Beckum (ACL surgery) declined to put a target date on his return.

Beckum tore his right ACL in the first half of the Super Bowl. "If I were to say I wanted to be back by Week 1, that's putting pressure on myself," he said. "And I think that's what happens with these guys. They want to get back too soon, put the pressure on themselves, then come back and re-tear it. I'm going to try to be smart about it." Beckum is a candidate for the reserve/PUP list, which would rule him out of the first six regular season games.

Giants TE Travis Beckum added 20 pounds this offseason while rehabbing his torn right ACL.

Beckum was pleased with the gain because he's struggled to add pounds in previous offseasons. He's up to 242. The Newark Star-Ledger believes Beckum may still open the season on PUP after blowing out the knee in February.

Giants TE Travis Beckum (ACL surgery) is expected to do some straight-line running in this week's minicamp.

It's an important step in Beckum's recovery, though there's still no word on when he'll be able to resume cutting. Despite Beckum's recent assertion that there's a "pretty good chance" he'll be ready for Week 1, it's extremely doubtful he'll be all that close to 100 percent for the beginning of camp.

According to the New York Daily News, there's a "pretty good chance" Giants TE Travis Beckum (torn ACL) will be ready for the start of the regular season.

"If everything works out, yeah," Beckum said. Beckum is still only two months removed from surgery, so color us skeptical. Even with Jake Ballard (torn ACL) in danger of missing the entire year, the G-Men have little incentive to rush Beckum back after signing Martellus Bennett and drafting Adrien Robinson. Beckum remains a strong candidate for the PUP list.

Giants TE Travis Beckum is "further along" in his recovery from a torn ACL than teammate Jake Ballard, who also underwent microfracture surgery.

Beckum is "far more advanced" in his rehab after getting a nearly six-week head start. "It sucks but it's a part of the game," Beckum said. "Obviously, I'm mentally here for Jake and we kind of push each other." Beckum is the far better bet to suit up this season, but neither player is guaranteed of playing a down.

After a recent medical checkup, Giants TE Travis Beckum (ACL surgery) suggested there is a "very good chance" he will be ready for the start of the 2012 season.

Skepticism is advised. Beckum will be just seven months removed from surgery by Week 1. While it's a good sign that he's ahead of schedule, Beckum's progress will likely have little effect on the Giants' draft plans.
