Mekhi Becton and the Jets are not out of the woods yet. Not by a long shot.
The right tackle’s knee injury — suffered during training camp practice Monday — “is more concerning than the team originally believed,” according to an NFL Network report. The report adds the injury is new and unrelated to the knee issue that cost Becton almost all of last season (and took far longer to rehab than was expected).
The Jets will run more tests Tuesday, according to the report. An SNY report said it is a knee cap/patella issue and there is belief it could be a season-ending injury.
