It isn’t the best-case scenario for Jets left tackle Mekhi Becton, but it’s certainly not the worst-case scenario either.
NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Becton, who left Sunday’s loss to Carolina with a knee injury, will be out around 4-5 weeks. Mekhi has suffered knee cap dislocation.
Mekhi Becton will be out about 4-5 weeks after arthroscopic surgery to remove loose bodies, source said. So, subluxation, MCL sprain, and minor surgery coming. But he’ll be back this season after a stint on IR. https://t.co/MaBXtrqSkB

It’s unclear how the Jets will handle this situation moving forward, but the team does employ reinforcement options.
