New York Jets LT Mekhi Becton to miss at least 4-6 weeks after dislocating knee cap

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- The New York Jets, who allowed six sacks in their season opener, suffered a significant blow to their offensive line Monday with the news that left tackle Mekhi Becton will be sidelined a minimum of four to six weeks with a dislocated right knee cap.

Becton, their 2020 first-round draft pick, will seek a second opinion to determine whether surgery is necessary, coach Robert Saleh said. Earlier Monday, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that Becton is expected to have arthroscopic surgery to repair cartilage damage.

This means rookie quarterback Zach Wilson, who was hit 10 times in Sunday's 19-14 loss to the Carolina Panthers, will be without his No.
