Jets HC Robert Saleh gives promising clarification on Mekhi Becton

On Thursday, the New York Jets placed five players on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list. Included in the group was offensive tackle Mekhi Becton.

As one would expect, Becton’s presence on the list was met with groans from many Jets fans. Fortunately for those concerned fans, Jets head coach Robert Saleh has some promising news for you.

During an interview with CBS Sports HQ on Thursday, Saleh seemed more optimistic about Becton’s status than he has at any point this offseason.

“Mekhi’s been really good over the past 40 days,” Saleh said.
