The Jets have needed offensive tackle depth. Now they may need a Week 1 starter.
Projected starting right tackle Mekhi Becton went down in Monday’s practice and limped off the field. He was favoring his braced right knee — a dislocation of the same knee caused Becton to miss 16 games last year. The initial diagnosis revealed injury to the knee cap and patella. There is reportedly fear Becton’s 2022 season might be over before it started. Head coach Robert Saleh said “it doesn’t look good” during a Tuesday morning interview on WFAN.
