Packers Promote G Mekhi Becton

The Packers placed C Jacob Monk on injured reserve in a corresponding move.

Becton, 27, was a three-year starter at Louisville and earned second-team All-American honors before being selected by the Jets with the No. 11 pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.

Becton signed a four-year, $18,446,045 rookie contract that included a $10,975,306 signing bonus. The Jets declined his fifth-year option and he eventually signed a one-year contract with the Eagles ahead of the 2024 season.

From there, the Chargers signed Becton to a two-year, $20 million contract last offseason but he was released in March this year. Becton then signed with Green Bay’s practice squad in late September.

In 2025, Becton appeared in 15 games for the Chargers and made 14 starts for them at right guard.
