NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Jets left tackle Mekhi Becton, who’s entering his second season following an impressive rookie campaign, has plantar fasciitis. This is when inflammation occurs within a band of tissue connecting your heel bone to your toes.
Becton will not need surgery, however, and should be good for training camp late this summer.
#Jets LT Mekhi Becton is dealing with plantar fasciitis, which is why coach Robert Saleh told reporters Becton needs to be off his feet. Should be just a few weeks and no surgery, so nothing that impacts training camp.
