Mekhi Becton News
New York Jets offensive lineman Mekhi Becton (ankle, knee), who came into Friday's Week 12 contest against the Miami Dolphins as questionable, is officially inactive. Becton won't be able to suit up after spraining his ankle in the Week 11 blowout loss to the Buffalo Bills. The good news is that his injury isn't believed to be all that serious, so he could have a chance at returning in Week 13 at home against the Atlanta Falcons. Becton's absence on Friday is notable with quarterback Tim Boyle replacing Zach Wilson under center for his first start of the year for the floundering Jets.
New York Jets offensive tackle Mekhi Becton has won the team's starting right-tackle spot to start the 2023 regular season. Becton, the former 11th overall pick in 2020 out of Louisville, was able to return to the practice field this summer after dealing with knee injuries the last several seasons. He managed to play well in training camp and the preseason to earn a starting job over Max Mitchell. The Jets' offensive line has always been better with a healthy Becton on the field, but the problem is he's often been out of shape and hurt early in his career. Whether the 24-year-old can stay healthy all year in 2023 is another question, but this is a good start and good news for quarterback Aaron Rodgers in his first season in New York.
New York Jets fourth-year offensive tackle Mekhi Becton, who has dealt with weight problems frequently in his time with the Jets, recently weighed in at around 340 pounds. Becton weighed in the 380-390 range in previous years, so this appears to be good news for the Jets offensive lineman heading into training camp this summer. He'll be competing with veteran Duane Brown for the starting left-tackle job while simultaneously competing with Max Mitchell and Billy Turner at right tackle. As long as Brown is healthy, he should win the left-tackle job, so Becton will essentially be competing at right tackle in training camp. The Jets' best offensive-line combination is one that has Becton involved, but he'll need to stay in shape to stay on the field.
