Not ideal news for the Jets as the preseason nears its conclusion.
Head coach Robert Saleh revealed Wednesday left tackle Mekhi Becton has entered the concussion protocol, per The Athletic’s Connor Hughes.
Becton, New York’s 2020 first-round pick, exited Tuesday’s joint practice with the Eagles after he suffered an apparent head injury and puked.

It’s unclear exactly when Becton could be returning, but don’t expect him to partake in the team’s third and final preseason game this Friday against the Eagles.
