Mekhi Becton will likely miss 2022 season with fractured knee

Mekhi Becton suffered an avulsion fracture of his right knee cap that will likely end his season.

Jets offensive tackle Mekhi Becton has suffered an avulsion fracture of his right knee cap, which will likely end his 2022 season before it began, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo.

The news confirms the worst fears of the organization that the injury to Becton was more serious than previously thought after the 2020 first-round pick limped off the practice field following the second play of training camp practice Monday. The 23-year-old underwent an MRI shortly thereafter before receiving the official diagnosis on Tuesday.
