New York Jets right tackle and 2020 first-round pick Mekhi Becton will likely miss the entire 2022 after injuring his right knee during training camp on Monday, head coach Robert Saleh confirmed Tuesday. Becton will get a second opinion, per Saleh, but the Jets coach didn't sound too confident it would reveal anything different.
Saleh initially expressed optimism about the injury, telling reporters on Monday that "everything seems fine." But sources told NFL Network's Mike Garafolo and Ian Rapoport that Becton suffered an avulsion fracture of the kneecap.
