Chargers' Mekhi Becton: Finds home with Chargers
Rotowire
The Chargers signed Becton to a two-year contract Friday, Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports.
After spending the first four years of his career with the Jets and flaming out in New York, Becton inked a one-year deal with the Eagles last offseason. Philly moved him from tackle to guard, and it jumpstarted the 2020 first-round pick's career. He started 15 regular-season games at right guard, playing all 1,158 of his offensive snaps at the position. The Chargers will presumably slot Becton in at right guard ahead of Trey Pipkins after Pipkins was somewhat of a liability at the position last season. Cutting Pipkins would clear $6.75 million in cap space for Los Angeles.

Rotowire
Becton (ankle) did not participate at practice Tuesday.
However, per Connor Hughes of SNY.tv, coach Robert Saleh said Tuesday that Becton is trying to return for Friday's game versus the Dolphins, pushing back a bit against previous reporting that he was expected to miss one to two weeks. All in all, it seems he could give himself a chance to suit up in Week 12 If he's able to practice Wednesday or Thursday.
Becton has been diagnosed with a low-grade ankle sprain and is expected to miss one to two weeks, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Becton was carted off the field early in Sunday's loss to the Bills, but he's avoided a serious injury. It still sounds like he's going to miss game action, further testing the Jets' offensive line depth. Becton has started the last eight games at left tackle after opening the season as the team's right tackle. Fourth-round rookie Carter Warren replaced Becton against Buffalo.
