Mekhi Becton News
The New York Jets officially placed offensive tackle Mekhi Becton (knee) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday. Becton is scheduled to have surgery with Dr. Neal ElAttrache within the week, and he'll miss all of the 2022 season. It's a tough turn of events for the former first-round pick who played in just one game last year due to an unrelated knee injury. The 23-year-old was moved to right tackle at training camp this summer before suffering the season-ending knee injury. George Fant, who played well in Becton's absence at left tackle in 2021, will open the year as the starting left tackle. However, the Jets could be without second-year quarterback Zack Wilson (knee) after he had knee surgery on Tuesday.
New York Jets former first-round offensive tackle Mekhi Becton (knee) suffered an avulsion fracture of his right kneecap in training camp practice on Monday. He'll visit with a surgeon on Wednesday, but Becton will likely miss all of the 2022 season. It's brutal news for the Jets and the 23-year-old, who missed all but one game last year due to an unrelated knee injury. In his absence, George Fant stepped in at left tackle and did a commendable job protecting quarterback Zach Wilson's blind side in his rookie season. Becton had a solid rookie season in 2020, but injuries in back-to-back seasons have quickly turned him into a bust early in his career.
The New York Jets are expecting offensive tackle Mekhi Becton (knee) to miss a significant portion of the 2022 regular season after injuring his knee cap and patella on Monday in training camp practice. The team initially didn't believe that Becton's injury was all that serious, but it turns out it's a new injury and unrelated to his previous knee injury that sidelined him for all but one game in 2021. Becton has more medical appointments on Tuesday to get more clarity on his injury. It's a major blow for the 23-year-old former first-rounder, who was being moved to right tackle for this season. There's a chance that Becton could wind up missing all of this year, which obviously is bad news for New York's offensive line.
