Jets’ Mekhi Becton opens up training camp at right tackle

Florham Park was buzzing Wednesday. The Jets came together for their first full-team training camp practice of the year. Head coach Robert Saleh’s crew was ready to provide clarity to the various headlines that surrounded the team this offseason, one of which regarded the left tackle position.

Would Mekhi Becton return to the blindside after missing virtually all of last season with a knee injury? Even though he clearly showed up to June’s minicamp out of shape? Would veteran George Fant retain that role after impressing in Becton’s absence last year?

We finally have an answer … at least for right now.
