The Green Bay Packers released fullback Andrew Beck from the practice squad on Tuesday. Beck, a veteran who has been on the practice squad all season, is out of gameday elevations after appearing in Sunday’s win over the Houston Texans.
The Packers elevated Beck during each of the last three weeks. He played 15 snaps on offense and 17 on special teams in games against the Los Angeles Rams, Arizona Cardinals and Texans.
Beck helped fill the gap left when tight end Luke Musgrave went on injured reserve. John FitzPatrick is on the 53-man roster and is likely nearing readiness for snaps as the No. 3 tight end behind Tucker Kraft and Ben Sims.
Beck, now is his sixth NFL season, played five snaps on offense and seven on special teams during the Packers’ win over the Texans.
After exhausting his gameday elevations, keeping Beck on the practice squad made little sense.
The Packers now have an open practice squad spot.
