Over the weekend the Jets brought in veteran tackle Duane Brown for a free agent visit. The Jets are lacking in tackle depth. A year ago they found themselves in a fortunate situation as Morgan Moses ended up cut late in the offseason. Without many options, Moses had to take a cheap deal and a backup job for the Jets. That move ended up paying dividends when Mekhi Becton got hurt.
Unfortunately for the Jets Becton got hurt against on Monday....
After getting the day off yesterday, the New York Jets completed their first practice of this week. The team finally has their first game week of the year with this Friday’s preseason game in Philadelphia.
The dislocated kneecap and MCL damage Mekhi Becton suffered in Week 1 of last season threw his career off track. Frequent rumors about his weight surfaced, and his stock within the Jets’ organization certainly plummeted.
Jets right tackle Mekhi Becton suffered an injury to his surgically repaired right knee early in Monday's training camp practice. Coach Robert Saleh said Becton's knee was "stable" and he was optimistic he would be fine. Becton is undergoing an MRI.

The Jets return to the practice field today as training camp resumes from the team facility in Florham Park, New Jersey.
The Jets had Sunday off. That was because Saturday’s practice was a night one at MetLife Stadium. The team conducted something resembling a scrimmage, as close to real football as you can get in training camp these days. By all accounts it was a strong night for Zach Wilson.
As the team returns to practice today, focus will turn...

Good morning, Gang Green Nation. I hope you’re all having a great start to the day. Shout out to Mr. Wells for holding down the fort over the weekend as usual. The Jets had their annual Green and White scrimmage over the weekend, and there was plenty to take away from it. One of the biggest factors was QB Zach Wilson, who started out incredibly strong. While he ended up throwing only one...
