Mekhi Becton had difficulty breathing after suffering a chest injury in the first quarter of Monday night’s loss to New England.
Adam Gase said the Jets' medical staff was concerned and that Becton would continue to be evaluated through the bye week.
Gase said Becton didn’t suffer a muscle injury and that the trainers didn’t tell him that it was anything lung or heart related. Gase sounded optimistic that the 6-7, 370-pound left tackle would play against the Chargers next weekend.
