It’s easy to take some players for granted, because they’re always there.
Kelvin Beachum is almost always there for the Jets. He has become a living, breathing, walking (sometimes limping) example of toughness and dedication and an inspiration to many of his teammates.
The Jets’ offensive line enters Sunday’s game at the 0-11 Bengals without both starting guards from the beginning of the season. Brian Winters was placed on injured reserve two weeks ago and Kelechi Osemele was released five weeks ago after a contentious disagreement with the team about the seriousness of his shoulder injury.
