FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — An MRI exam of Mekhi Becton's right knee revealed a more serious injury than initially anticipated, a source told ESPN on Monday night, raising fear that the New York Jets' starting right tackle could be sidelined indefinitely.
The 2020 first-round pick injured the same knee that required season-ending surgery last September, but this was described as a «different» injury, the source said.
Becton will have additional tests Tuesday to determine a diagnosis, but the Jets' concern level was elevated after receiving the MRI results.
One source said the assumption is that Becton, 23, will miss significant time. Becton appeared to hurt the knee in an early offensive-line drill Monday morning.
