New York Jets coach Robert Saleh says Mekhi Becton's season likely over because of knee injury

New York Jets starting right tackle Mekhi Becton's season is "more than likely" over because of a knee injury, which he suffered in Monday's practice, coach Robert Saleh said Tuesday.

Saleh said he feels "sick" for Becton, who has a chip fracture to his right knee. He also defended Becton against the "shade" he has received on social media.

"His story's not over. He's got full support of this organization," Saleh said. "And if you're a fan that wants to support him you're more than welcome, otherwise just keep it moving."

Becton is scheduled to get a second opinion on Wednesday.
