The Los Angeles Chargers thought they were buying a comeback story when they handed Mekhi Becton a two-year, $20 million contract this offseason. Instead, they got exactly what the New York Jets already knew.
Becton’s tenure in New York was defined by flashes of potential ultimately derailed by injuries and inconsistencies, and so far in Los Angeles, it’s been more of the same from the former first-round pick.
Becton has battled through multiple injuries in his first year with the Chargers. He missed the team's Week 4 game with a concussion, suffered a hand injury that forced him to play with a club on his hand, and sustained an ankle injury in last night's game against the Minnesota Vikings.
