Philadelphia Eagles offensive lineman Mekhi Becton exited practice Sunday with an apparent injury to his right leg, according to multiple reports. Becton, who primarily has played offensive tackle, is competing to start at right guard with Tyler Steen, who was injured during the Eagles' 14-13 win over the host New England Patriots on Thursday. The Eagles signed Becton, 25, as a free agent in April to a one-year contract worth $2.75 million. The New York Jets made Becton the 11th overall selection of the 2020 NFL Draft, and the Louisville product started 13 of his 14 games as a rookie. However, a knee injury in Week 1 ended the left tackle's second season, and Becton moved to right tackle, only to miss all of the 2022 season because of another knee injury. The 6-foot-7, 363-pound lineman started all 16 games he played in 2023, playing 95 percent of the offensive snaps. The Jets did not pick up the fifth-year option on Becton. --Field Level Media
