Packers to sign former Eagles Super Bowl champion to bolster shaky OL
Becton, a former first-round pick and Super Bowl champion, started 15 games for Philadelphia in 2024 and gives Green Bay another veteran option.
- On Monday, the Green Bay Packers signed veteran offensive lineman Mekhi Becton to their practice squad following a successful workout, bolstering depth along their struggling offensive line.
- Through three games, the Packers have struggled, ranking last in rushing yards per game and recording the league's lowest pass block win rate since ESPN first tracked that stat in 2017.
- Becton, a 27-year-old former first-round pick, appeared in 15 games for the Los Angeles Chargers last season after winning Super Bowl LIX as a starting guard for the Philadelphia Eagles in 2024.
- Separately, the team added veteran guard Laken Tomlinson off the Dallas Cowboys' practice squad on Saturday to address injuries to starters Zach Bako-Bewele, Aaron Banks, and Jacob Monk.
- As the Packers prepare for Sunday's game at Tampa Bay, these veteran additions provide immediate depth for an offensive unit facing multiple absences and performance challenges.
