Beck, 28, signed with the Patriots as an undrafted free agent out of Texas before he was waived coming out of the preseason and claimed off waivers by the Broncos.
He originally entered the league as a blocking tight end, but Denver opted to use him at fullback. The Broncos re-signed him to a one-year deal in 2022 before Beck departed in unrestricted free agency for a two-year, $6.2 million deal with the Texans.
He was among Houston’s final roster and caught on with the Packers. Beck re-signed with the Texans in November.
In 2024, Beck has appeared in three games for the Packers.
