Mekhi Becton News
New York Jets free-agent offensive tackle Mekhi Becton visited with the Cincinnati Bengals on Thursday and has two more visits upcoming, according to a league source. Becton was the 11th overall pick by the Jets in 2020 out of Louisville. He started just 14 games in his first two seasons in the NFL due to knee injuries and missed all of 2022. The 6-foot-7, 363-pound hulking offensive lineman was finally able to stay healthy last year, starting 16 games for the Jets. The Bengals are searching for offensive tackle help this offseason after Jonah Williams signed with the Arizona Cardinals on Wednesday. While Becton's huge frame is great for getting in the way of would-be pass-rushers, he's missed more games (36) than he's played in (31) early in his NFL career.
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.
