During the Philadelphia Eagles' second mandatory minicamp practice, standout performances came from John Ross, Kelee Ringo, and Will Shipley. The offense is still adjusting to a new system under Kellen Moore, with Jalen Hurts showing mixed results. Mekhi Becton is adapting well to playing left guard, potentially positioning himself for a starting role. Notable injuries included James Bradberry and Trevor Keegan, who were limited in participation. Celebrity guests included Jalen Brunson and Eagles legend Fletcher Cox.
The Philadelphia Eagles' first mandatory minicamp under head coach Nick Sirianni saw notable performances and developments, including James Bradberry's potential position change, Kelee Ringo's standout play, and Mekhi Becton's impact at left guard. Jalen Hurts showed improvement in mastering the new offense, while rookie Ainias Smith needs to relax to make more consistent plays.
The New York Jets suffered a 30-0 loss to the Miami Dolphins, with Dolphins edge-rusher Bradley Chubb dominating Jets' offensive lineman Mekhi Becton. Jets head coach Robert Saleh had a particularly rough game, being outcoached by his friend Mike McDaniel. Dolphins cornerback Jalen Ramsey effectively shut down Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson. The Jets' offense struggled, accumulating only 103 total yards, tied for the fourth-lowest in franchise history.
New York Jets left tackle Duane Brown has been ruled out of the upcoming game against the New England Patriots due to a hip injury. The Jets have not announced his replacement, but Mekhi Becton is a strong possibility. This comes at a challenging time for the Jets, who have a struggling backup quarterback and an offensive line that allowed the highest pressure percentage in Week 2. Brown, who missed the preseason recovering from shoulder surgery, was dominated by Micah Parsons in the previous game. The Jets have dropped 14 straight games to the Patriots.
Aaron Rodgers impresses with his performance in the preseason, while Michael Carter struggles to make an impact. Mekhi Becton shows improvement and secures the starting right tackle position, and undrafted free agent Xavier Gipson shines, potentially earning a roster spot. On the other hand, Max Mitchell disappoints and may only serve as a backup, and Bryce Hall's future with the Jets is uncertain as he primarily contributes on special teams.
Mekhi Becton has been named the starting right tackle for the New York Jets, marking his return to the field after two season-ending knee injuries. Despite being out of regular-season action for two years, Becton has shown improvement and confidence in his knee during training. The 2020 No. 11 draft pick, who previously started at left tackle, now has a chance to prove himself at a different position in a contract season.
New York Jets' Mekhi Becton shows promise in practice as he works his way back from injury, impressing with a strong outing against the Panthers. CB Brandin Echols seizes the opportunity with a pick-six, while the offense struggles with penalties. Jets quarterback Rodgers faces pressure throughout the day, and several players, including Gardner and Lawson, deal with injuries.
New York Jets left tackle Mekhi Becton played fewer snaps than expected in his first game since Week One due to discomfort in his knee. Becton acknowledged that the turf was not friendly to his size and type of injury, but assured reporters that he was okay. Head coach Robert Saleh emphasized the need for Becton to build confidence and push through any discomfort as he continues his return to the lineup during the preseason.
New York Jets tackle Mekhi Becton expressed his frustration with the team's coaching staff for switching him from left to right tackle after he injured his right knee last season. Becton said he was limping throughout practice and told coaches he wasn't feeling good, but was told to stop complaining. He eventually re-injured his knee and had to undergo reconstructive surgery. Despite his grievances, Becton is excited for training camp and has shed 50 pounds this offseason. The Jets are counting on a healthy season from Becton for their offensive line to reach its potential.
New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh responded to offensive tackle Mekhi Becton's tweet declaring himself a left tackle by saying, "Go earn the left tackle" spot through competition. Becton, who was drafted 11th overall in 2020, has been limited by knee injuries and the Jets recently declined his fifth-year option. He will have to prove himself during the upcoming preseason to earn the role of Aaron Rodgers' blindside protector over Duane Brown. Saleh was also complimentary of Becton's progress and excited to see what results the competition will bring.
New York Jets coach Robert Saleh responded to Mekhi Becton's declaration on Twitter that he has one position only on the offensive line, saying "Go earn the left tackle." Saleh had already stated that the team will play the best five offensive linemen, which could mean Becton on the right side. Saleh's message to Becton is to focus on perfecting his craft rather than quibbling about the side of the line.
The New York Jets have declined the fifth-year option for offensive tackle Mekhi Becton, making the 2020 first-round pick a free agent after the 2023 season. Becton has battled injuries and weight issues, and the option would have guaranteed him a salary of $13.5 million in 2024. The Jets could need Becton to start, and he could battle for the right tackle job or be moved back to his natural left tackle position to compete with Duane Brown.
