Mekhi Becton’s Jets season ‘more than likely’ over, Robert Saleh says

Jets offensive tackle Mekhi Becton went down during Monday’s practice and favored his right knee — the same knee that dislocated in the 2021 season-opener and caused him to miss the remainder of that year.

Robert Saleh didn’t seem too worried about it initially. But after some tests, the level of optimism has taken a major dip.

The Jets head coach doesn’t believe Becton will see the field in 2022.

“From my understanding he’s getting his second evaluation and opinion tomorrow.
