Becton and Teammate Hint at Left Tackle Returning “Soon”

When Jets left tackle Mekhi Becton was knocked out of the team’s season-opening loss when a teammate rolled up on the back of his right leg, the expectation was that he would miss 4-5 weeks with a kneecap dislocation. Fast forward to today, and Becton has missed twice that.

The team has offered very few updates on Becton and hasn’t said much in terms of when he may be back. But thanks to Becton and teammates John Franklin-Myers, we know his return could be soon.

Initially tweeting directly to what we can only assume are his biggest fans, abbreviated from Mekhi’s fans to Mfers (C’mon, we’re a family site), Becton urged those who had forgotten about him to “say less”.
