Mekhi Becton Fantasy Stats

The Los Angeles Chargers plan to release offensive guard Mekhi Becton in the coming days, a source told Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. The move to cut Becton will save the Chargers $9.7 million on the salary cap for the 2026 season. Becton looked better in 2024 with the Philadelphia Eagles with his move to right guard, but he struggled mightily in pass protection in 2025 with the Chargers, and will now be looking for his fourth different team in the last four years. The 26-year-old former 11th overall pick by the New York Jets has not lived up to expectations despite standing at 6-foot-7, 363 pounds. Becton will surely latch on with another team looking for help on the offensive line, but he might be set for more of a rotational role than a starting one. He has started 59 of the 61 games he's appeared in over the course of his five-year career.

Los Angeles Chargers right guard Mekhi Becton is a cut candidate this offseason, according to Daniel Popper of The Athletic. The Chargers can save close to $10 million if they move on from Becton, according to Over the Cap. "I'm not going to talk about that right now," general manager Joe Hortiz said when asked if Becton is guaranteed to be on the roster in 2026. The 26-year-old signed a two-year, $20 million deal with the Bolts in March of 2025, but he battled injuries and played less than 60% of the offensive snaps in 15 regular-season contests. He did not live up to expectations in L.A. when he was on the field. Injuries have been an issue for Becton since he entered the NFL in 2020 as the 11th overall pick by the New York Jets. He was originally drafted as a left tackle, but he has moved to right guard over the last few years. Becton's size (6-foot-7, 363 pounds) is imposing for defensive linemen, so he'll attract interest on the open market if he's cut.

Los Angeles Chargers right guard Mekhi Becton (knee) is inactive for Sunday's Week 9 contest against the Tennessee Titans. He had been listed as questionable after logging a limited practice on Friday. The 26-year-old has played every snap in just two games this season, struggling with availability as he plays for his third different team in three years. Foster Sarell is expected to take over as the primary right guard in his absence.

Los Angeles Chargers right guard Mekhi Becton (hand) said that he does not expect to miss any time with the injury he suffered during Sunday's Week 5 loss to the Washington Commanders. "I know what I got to do," he told Daniel Popper of The Athletic. "Just got to cast it up the right way, and I'll be back out there next week." Multiple injuries have prevented Becton from playing a full game since Week 2, but he seems pretty confident that he'll be able to suit up in Week 6 against the Miami Dolphins. In the event that he suffers a setback, Jamaree Salyer would likely step up as the Chargers' starting right guard.

Los Angeles Chargers guard Mekhi Becton (concussion) is active for his team's Week 5 matchup against the Washington Commanders, according to Daniel Popper of The Athletic. Becton missed the Chargers' Week 4 game against the New York Giants, Los Angeles' first loss of the season. Becton's return to the lineup should help with both protecting quarterback Justin Herbert and the run-blocking for running back Omarion Hampton.

Los Angeles Chargers offensive guard Mekhi Becton (illness) is officially active for Friday night's Week 1 season opener in Brazil against the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs. Becton will suit up for his Chargers debut after he was deemed questionable for Week 1 due to an illness. It's good news for the Chargers offense and running backs Omarion Hampton and Najee Harris against a tough Chiefs defensive front. The 26-year-old former first-round pick of the New York Jets will open the 2025 season as the Bolts' starting right guard. Becton didn't live up to expectations in New York as a tackle while constantly being set back by injuries, but he finally had a good year with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2024 after being moved inside. The Chargers are hoping he can keep it going in 2025.

Los Angeles Chargers offensive guard Mekhi Becton (illness) has been added to the team's injury report due to an illness and is now questionable to play on Friday in Brazil for the Week 1 divisional clash against the Kansas City Chiefs, according to the team. Becton probably has a decent shot at suiting up, but if he were to be inactive, it would be a concern for the Chargers offense against a Chiefs defense that was one of the best in football a year ago. The 26-year-old former first-rounder of the New York Jets in 2020 out of Louisville was a bust for Gang Green due to injuries, but he excelled last year with the Philadelphia Eagles after moving to guard and parlayed it into a two-year, $20 million deal in the offseason with the Bolts. If Becton doesn't play on Friday, it will be a small downgrade for Chargers running backs Omarion Hampton and Najee Harris.

The NFL's Ian Rapoport reports that former Philadelphia Eagles offensive lineman Mekhi Becton is signing a two-year, $20 million deal with the Los Angeles Chargers. Becton started 15 games for Philadelphia a season ago, recording 78.05% of the team's snaps. It was his only season with the Eagles after spending the first three years of his career with the New York Jets. The former first-round pick should serve as a significant boost for LA's offensive line and figures to spend time as a guard for the team. The Chargers have been active this offseason, but the 25-year-old could prove to be one of their most pivotal acquisitions yet. It's great news for new running back Najee Harris.

Philadelphia Eagles offensive lineman Mekhi Becton (knee) has returned to Sunday night's Super Bowl matchup with the Kansas City Chiefs. In the first half, Becton injured his knee at an undetermined point and was seen on the sidelines working with trainers. However, he'd return to the game late in the second quarter. Thus far, Philadelphia's offensive line has allowed just one sack for a loss of six yards.

Philadelphia Eagles offensive lineman Mekhi Becton (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's Super Bowl meeting with the Kansas City Chiefs. The former first-round pick left the contest in the first half, though the exact time his knee injury occurred is unclear. Eagles guard Tyler Steen is working in his stead for the time being. The 25-year-old was clearly in pain on the sideline while attempting to get into a stance. Until his exit, Becton had matched up well against Chiefs' star defensive lineman Chris Jones.
