If what DM is saying is true then whoever said this was a 4-8 week return owes Mekhi a huge apology. Did the team officially say that was the case or did the media run with “it could be as little as 4-8 weeks”? The guy has then been unfairly criticized by every swinging dick on the networks and most of all by the fan base.
Maybe the injury was bad enough to miss a season, but Becton has only proved to be a highly talented, majority of the time injured player. He has to change that narrative.
I think it has been well chronicled here that the injury this year was not because he was out of shape or through anything that was his fault. So there is that.
This doesn’t fit the “he’s lazy and spends more time at the buffet than the gym” narrative. Please stop.
However the fact remains he has missed more games than he has played.
Everything I have read says a dislocated kneecap ( I believe that what his injury was) takes 6-8 weeks to heal. Now I can see that taking a bit longer for Becton due to his immense size, and this is football…. Not bike riding …. I also believe the Jets are a bit overly optimistic on injuries. I remember when Mims hamstring was supposed to be a couple weeks…. Turned into 8 weeks…. And Moores quad was supposed to be a couple weeks…. Turned into 4 I believe. So maybe the trainers are feeding a load of shit to Saleh, or Saleh is full of shit at his pressers
