The Green Bay Packers elevated fullback Andrew Beck from the practice squad to the gameday roster for Week 5. The move was announced Saturday, making Beck available for Matt LaFleur and the Packers for the Sunday’s showdown with the Los Angeles Rams.
While listed as a fullback, Beck will likely give the Packers another option at move tight end with Luke Musgrave (ankle) questionable to play Sunday after missing practice all week. If Musgrave doesn’t play, the Packers will have Beck, starter Tucker Kraft and backup Ben Sims available.
Beck has played in 66 career games. He has 25 catches for 214 yards and three touchdowns, including career-highs of 13 catches and two touchdown catches last season over 15 games with the Houston Texans. The Packers signed Beck to the practice squad on Aug. 30.
This is Beck’s first elevation for the Packers. He wears No. 47.
Beck went undrafted out of Texas in 2019. The Packers had Beck in Green Bay for a 30 visit ahead of the draft.
All teams are allowed to elevate up to two players from the practice squad each week. An individual player can only be elevated from the practice squad three times per season, so Beck has two elevations left. On Monday, Beck will revert to the practice squad.
