Jets OT Mekhi Becton’s Knee Injury Worse Than Initially Thought, per Report

Jets offensive tackle Mekhi Becton limped off the practice field after the second play of training camp Monday, but coach Robert Saleh initially said the team didn’t think the injury to Becton’s right knee was serious.

Now comes word that the issue could be significant after all.

The injury appears to be new and unrelated to a previous injury that required Becton’s knee to be surgically repaired, according to NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo. Becton had an MRI on Monday and will undergo further medical testing Tuesday in hopes of determining the severity of the injury.
