Mekhi Becton Rips Jets for Handling His Injury: 'Made No Sense to Put Me at RT'

New York Jets offensive tackle Mekhi Becton believes a position change may have played a role in the knee injury that cost him the 2022 NFL season.

"I got forced to play a position I don't play, and then I was pretty much telling them I wasn't feeling good the whole time throughout camp, and I was told I shouldn't be complaining," he said to Newsday's Bob Glauber. "Go out there and do it. I was limping throughout the whole practice, and I just took a step and my knee buckled and I got hurt again and had to get reconstructive surgery.
