Mekhi Becton won’t practice this week

[gmf1369]

Jets left tackle Mekhi Becton wasn’t on the field for the team’s organized team activities earlier in the offseason because of a foot injury and the issue will keep him from practicing at their mandatory minicamp this week as well.

Head coach Robert Saleh delivered that message when he spoke to reporters on Tuesday. Saleh said that the benefits of having Becton going through drills outweighed the risk of having him out for any part of training camp.

“We’re very confident he’ll be ready to go [by training camp],” Saleh said, via Ralph Vacchiano of SNY. “He’s just got a little nagging foot injury. It’s not worth it to put him out there and make something so small a lot worse.”

Becton’s play last season was a bright spot amid the rubble of a 2-14 season. The Jets would like his play to continue to improve while the team’s record does the same thing.

What’s the difference . Training camp doesn’t begin until late July so keeping him healthy right now is way more important than having him practice now when he’s still hurt .

I agree but it is the "hurt" part that worries me.......Lets hope he stays on the field

His size and strength at that size is what makes him the player he is. It would be strange if he didn’t have some stuff like the foot injury he’s dealing with at his size . He’s going to be fine and he will have less issues as he matures as a player. After football is when he’s going to have real life issues unless he learns between now and then how to take care of himself better
