Claimed off waivers by Green Bay The Packers claimed Becker off waivers from the Panthers on Monday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

Impact Becker started his NFL career in Detroit as an undrafted free agent before spending a couple of years in Buffalo and eventually landed in Carolina earlier this week. However, the Panthers quickly waived the 6-foot-5 tight end despite numerous injuries to their tight-end corps. The Packers opted to claim Becker, who'll likely get an opportunity during Friday's preseason game with Robert Tonyan (knee) still sidelined and Marcedes Lewis unlikely to play.

Let go Sunday Becker was waived by Carolina on Sunday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Impact Becker had just joined the team Thursday with Ian Thomas (ribs), Colin Thompson (calf) and Josh Babicz (undisclosed) all nursing injuries at tight end. The 26-year-old will now work to earn an opportunity elsewhere.

Signs with Panthers Becker agreed to a one-year contract with the Panthers on Thursday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The 6-foot-5, 264-pounder adds depth to Carolina's roster in advance of the team's preseason opener, with several of the team's tight ends dealing with training camp injuries. Becker last appeared with the Bills in 2019, playing in just one game and failing to record a reception.

Fails to land roster spot Becker was waived by Buffalo on Tuesday, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

Impact The Bills only have two tight ends on the roster right now -- starter Dawson Knox and an injured Tommy Sweeney -- so we imagine Becker might be a candidate for the practice squad. Veteran tight end Jacob Hollister did not make the final roster either.

Sticking with Buffalo Becker signed a reserve/future contract with the Bills on Tuesday.

Impact The 24-year-old appeared in one game but spent most of the season on the practice squad, and he'll remain with the Bills for the start of the offseason program. Becker figures to face long odds of making the season-opening roster in 2021.

Elevated for Week 17 Becker has been elevated from the practice squad ahead of Sunday's game against Miami, the Bills' official site reports.

Impact The 2019 undrafted free agent has yet to catch an NFL pass, but he could get a look or two Sunday with the Bills placing Tyler Kroft on the COVID-19 list Saturday and the team possibly being willing to use more reserves in a game that only matters for seeding.

Clears COVID protocols Becker was restored from the practice squad COVID-19 list Monday.

Bills tight end Dawson Knox tests positive; out for Jets

Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox has tested positive for the coronavirus and will miss Sunday’s game at the New York Jets

OCTOBER 24, 2020 • Associated Press

Assigned to COVID-19 list Becker was placed on the practice squad COVID-19 list Saturday, the Bills' official site reports.

Impact It's important to note Becker has not necessarily tested positive for the virus, but because he's been deemed to have been in close contact with fellow tight end Dawson Knox -- who tested positive for COVID-19 -- Becker has been placed on the list due to league protocol. With Knox already ruled out for the game and tight end Lee Smith additionally placed on the list, Becker was probably looking at a callup for Sunday's game against the Jets, but because he's also on the list the Bills will have to make due with whatever they can piece together. Right now, Tyler Kroft is the only tight end set for action against New York.
