The Green Bay Packers are signing veteran offensive lineman Mekhi Becton following a workout on Monday morning, per ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. The signing comes days after the Packers added former Pro Bowl guard Laken Tomlinson to their roster.
Becton, 27, spent time with the Philadelphia Eagles and represents another offensive line addition as Green Bay deals with injuries at the position. Per one report, the Packers are managing absences at guard, tackle, and center. Becton had previously been a teammate of Tomlinson's, according to multiple outlets covering the signing.
One outlet described Becton as a three-year starter at Louisville and former first-round pick, while another characterized him as a "former Eagles guard." The exact details of his background vary slightly across reports, though all eight outlets confirmed the signing itself.
