In Super Bowl LIX, the New Orleans Eagles experienced a tough moment when right guard Mekhi Becton suffered a knee injury in the second quarter and was seen as questionable for the remainder. Fortunately, he managed to return to the game. Backup Tyler Steen filled in at right guard for a series, but Becton had to check in at the medical tent for a moment before returning to the sidelines. After testing his knee on the field, he opted to take a seat. If the need arose for the Eagles to reinsert Steen, it wouldn’t be ideal; nevertheless, the team has high hopes for the 2023 third-round pick, who has consistently served as the primary backup guard throughout the season. Originally, Steen had been selected as the starting right guard during training camp until a minor ankle injury led Jeff Stoutland to assign Becton to that position, which he retained. The Eagles' offensive line without Becton included Jordan Mailata, Landon Dickerson, Cam Jurgens, Steen, and Lane Johnson. Despite Becton's absence, the Eagles managed to score a 48-yard field goal during their first drive.
