New York Jets offensive tackle Mekhi Becton is down to "about 350 pounds" after reportedly weighing in at 400 a couple of years ago, according to ESPN's Rich Cimini.
Becton put on weight while recovering from knee injuries that have limited him to one game in the past two seasons. The Jets are hoping the 23-year-old will start in 2023.
New York is unlikely, however, to extend Becton's rookie contract for an optional fifth year through 2024, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.
