Mekhi Becton has joined the Green Bay Packers’ practice squad, NFL insider Jeremy Fowler reported Monday. Becton had also reportedly drawn interest from the Pittsburgh Steelers, while no Eagles interest has been reported despite Philadelphia having an open roster spot.
Becton left the Eagles after the 2024 season to sign with the Los Angeles Chargers. He struggled and was benched there, then was cut after the 2025 season and remained a free agent until the Packers signed him.
Earlier this year, Tony Pauline reported he had been told during Shrine Bowl week that Becton had returned to “many of his former ways,” including firing the agency that had helped get his game back on track. Pauline said this raised red flags for the Eagles, who were reportedly surprised and disappointed.
