Nov 7, 2025
Set to return Sunday
Becton (knee) doesn't have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's Week 10 matchup versus Pittsburgh, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Becton hurt his knee in Week 8 against Minnesota and missed this past Sunday's matchup versus Tennessee. However, he was able to log an LP/LP/FP practice progression this week to get cleared to return to action against the Steelers. Becton should thus move back into his starting role at right guard.
Nov 2, 2025
Inactive in Week 9
Becton (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Titans, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Becton suffered a knee injury in Week 8 against the Vikings, and logged two limited practice sessions Thursday and Friday for a chance to play against the Titans. After finishing last week's game for the injured Becton, Foster Sarell is in line to start at right guard for the Chargers' Sunday contest.
Oct 31, 2025
Questionable to face Tennessee
Becton (knee) is questionable to face the Titans on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Becton suffered a knee injury in Week 8 against the Vikings and turned in limited practice sessions both Thursday and Friday in preparation for Tennessee. His status likely won't be decided until shortly before kickoff Sunday.
Oct 23, 2025
Questionable to return Thursday
Becton (knee) is questionable to return to Thursday night's contest against the Vikings.
ANALYSIS
Becton suffered a knee injury in the first quarter, and his status for the rest of the game is now up in the air. In his absence, Foster Sarell has taken over at right guard versus Minnesota.
Oct 9, 2025
All set for Week 6
Becton (hand) was a full participant at practice Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Becton was limited at practice to open the week Wednesday after suffering a hand injury in Week 5 versus Washington, but he now appears to be healthy ahead of Week 6. The 26-year-old will likely operate in his starting role at right guard against Carolina on Sunday.
Oct 5, 2025
Leaves game with hand injury
Becton is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Commanders due to a hand injury.
ANALYSIS
Becton has gone to the sidelines to have his hand evaluated by trainers. Jamaree Salyer has come into the game at right guard in Becton's absence.
Oct 5, 2025
Cleared to play Week 5
Becton (concussion) is active for Sunday's game against the Commanders.
ANALYSIS
Becton has passed the league's five-step concussion protocol and will return from a one-game absence Sunday. He'll return to his starting role at right guard while Jamaree Salyer reverts to a reserve role.
Oct 3, 2025
Questionable for Week 5
Becton (concussion) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Commanders.
ANALYSIS
Becton likely still needs to be cleared by an independent neurologist in order to gain clearance to play Sunday. The right guard missed last week's loss to the Giants, as Jamaree Salyer made the start in his place.
Sep 26, 2025
Out for Sunday
Becton (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Giants.
ANALYSIS
Becton sustained a concussion in the Chargers' Week 3 win over the Broncos and didn't practice all week, so it's no surprise he won't play Sunday. Jamaree Salyer is expected to start at right guard in Becton's stead in Week 4.
Sep 21, 2025
Done for day
Becton (concussion) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game versus the Broncos.
ANALYSIS
Becton suffered a concussion in the first half of the game, and he will now be sidelined until it's conclusion. Jamaree Salyer will continue to handle the right guard spot in Becton's absence.
Sep 21, 2025
Questionable to return Sunday
Becton (head) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Broncos.
ANALYSIS
Becton suffered a head injury in the second quarter, and his status for the rest of the game is now up in the air. Jamaree Salyer has taken over at right guard versus Denver.
Sep 5, 2025
Active for Friday's game
Becton (illness) is active for Friday night's season opener against the Chiefs.
ANALYSIS
Becton had been listed as questionable after being added to the injury report Friday morning with an illness, but he'll be available for Week 1 action, after all. Assuming no setbacks, Becton is slated to work as the Chargers' starting right guard Friday.
Sep 5, 2025
Questionable for Friday
Becton (illness) is listed as questionable ahead of Friday night's game against the Chiefs.
ANALYSIS
The first-year Charger was a late addition to the team's injury report after coming down with an illness that could jeopardize his availability in Week 1. If Becton is unable to play through this illness Friday night, expect Jamaree Salyer to work with Los Angeles' first-team offensive line.
Sep 2, 2025
Absent from injury report
Becton (undisclosed) was not listed on the Chargers' injury report Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Becton was limited in training camp practices due to an undisclosed issue, but the 2020 first-rounder appears to be past the injury. He signed a two-year contract with the Chargers in March and is slated to start at right guard for Friday's regular-season opener against the Chiefs.
Aug 19, 2025
Practicing in limited capacity
Becton (undisclosed) was limited to individual drills during Tuesday's training camp practice, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Becton had been missing training camp practices entirely for a couple weeks with an unspecified injury, but he now appears to be ramping up as the regular season quickly approaches. As long as he's available, he projects to start at right guard come Week 1 versus the Chiefs.
Aug 4, 2025
Injury "not severe"
Becton (undisclosed) last practiced on July 28, but Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh described his injury as "not severe" Monday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The offensive guard's specific issue still has not been announced by the team. Becton signed a two-year, $20-million free-agent deal with the Chargers in March after reviving his career with the Eagles last season, starting all 19 games, regular season and postseason, that he played in. The 2020 first-round pick of the Jets projects as LA's starter at right guard.
Mar 15, 2025
Finds home with Chargers
The Chargers signed Becton to a two-year contract Friday, Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
After spending the first four years of his career with the Jets and flaming out in New York, Becton inked a one-year deal with the Eagles last offseason. Philly moved him from tackle to guard, and it jumpstarted the former first-round pick's career. He started 15 regular-season games at right guard, playing all 1,158 of his offensive snaps at the position. The Chargers will presumably slot Becton in at right guard ahead of Trey Pipkins after Pipkins was somewhat of a liability at the position last season. Cutting Pipkins would clear $6.75 million in cap space for Los Angeles.
Feb 9, 2025
Returns to Super Bowl LIX
Becton (knee) returned in the second quarter of Sunday's Super Bowl LIX bout against Kansas City, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
ANALYSIS
Becton suffered a knee injury early in the second quarter and was replaced by Tyler Steen. After being evaluated on the sidelines, Becton has been cleared to return to Sunday's game and is back in at right guard.
Feb 9, 2025
Exits Super Bowl due to knee injury
Becton (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's Super Bowl LIX clash against the Chiefs.
ANALYSIS

Oct 31, 2024
Full practice participant Thursday
Becton (concussion) was listed as a full practice participant Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Becton was diagnosed with a concussion in Week 7, which kept him off the field during the Eagles' Week 8 win over the Bengals. He was listed as an LP/FP to open the week, but he'll still need to pass through the league's five-step concussion protocols before being cleared ahead of Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
Oct 25, 2024
Ruled out for Week 8
Becton (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's contest against the Bengals.
ANALYSIS
Becton suffered a concussion during the Eagles' Week 7 win over the Giants. He was in concussion protocols all week and was unable to practice, which puts him in jeopardy of missing the Eagles' Week 9 contest against the Jaguars on Sunday, Nov. 3. Tyler Steen is the top candidate to start at right guard for Sunday's contest.
Oct 20, 2024
Done for day with concussion
Becton exited Sunday's game against the Giants with a concussion and will not return.
ANALYSIS
The Eagles' starting right guard was quickly ruled out, and Tyler Steen has replaced Becton in the lineup between center Cam Jurgens and right tackle Lane Johnson.
Sep 26, 2024
Upgrades to full participant
Becton (finger) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
ANALYSIS
Becton was limited during Wednesday's walkthrough, but he managed to practice without restrictions Thursday. The 2020 first-round pick has a torn ligament in his left ring finger, but he plans on wearing a cast and playing through the injury.
Sep 25, 2024
Limited in Wednesday's walkthrough
Becton (finger) was a limited participant in the Eagles' walkthrough session Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Becton tore the ligament in his left ring finger during the Eagles' win over the Saints in Week 3. However, the 2020 first-round pick is expected to suit up against the Buccaneers on Sunday while wearing a cast on his finger, per Zach Berman of The Athletic.
Sep 22, 2024
Questionable to return
Becton (finger) is questionable to return to Philadelphia's matchup versus the Saints on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Becton was replaced by Tyler Steen after exiting the game in the first half due to a finger injury. The Eagles are now shorthanded on their offensive line, as Lane Johnson (concussion) is also questionable to return.
Aug 19, 2024
Avoids serious injury
Becton (leg) doesn't have a major injury and should be fine, Jordan Schultz of BleacherReport.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Becton exited practice Sunday after hurting his leg, but it doesn't appear that the issue will cost him much, if any, time. The 2020 first-round draft pick of the Jets has received first-team reps throughout his first training camp with Philadelphia and appears to have the edge for the starting role at right guard over Tyler Steen (ankle) as the regular season nears.
Apr 28, 2024
Signing with Philadelphia
Becton and the Eagles have agreed on a one-year, $5.5 million contract, pending a physical Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Becton appears to be set to join the Eagles after starting 16 games with the Jets in 2023. The offensive tackle has dealt with multiple significant lower-body injuries in his four-year NFL career, limiting his time on the field, and he'll look to carve out a consistent role with Philadelphia.
Mar 14, 2024
Set to visit Bengals
Becton is set to meet with the Bengals on Thursday, Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
ANALYSIS
Becton was finally healthy in 2023, starting 16 games on the Jets' offensive line. The offensive tackle will now look to latch on with Cincinnati, who just lost Jonah Williams to the Cardinals on Wednesday.
Nov 30, 2023
Practices fully
Becton (ankle) was a full participant in practice Thursday after participating on a limited basis Wednesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The starting right tackle is trending toward returning Sunday against the Falcons after missing the Jets' Week 12 loss to the Dolphins. Becton started New York's first 10 games after only playing in one in 2021 and 2022 combined.
Nov 24, 2023
First absence of season in Week 12
Becton (ankle) is inactive for Friday's game against the Dolphins.
ANALYSIS
After being limited to just one appearance over the previous two seasons by knee injuries, Becton started New York's first 10 games of 2023, but an ankle sprain suffered in Week 11 against the Bills will lead to the left tackle's first absence of the season. Duane Brown (hip) -- who was activated from injured reserve Thursday -- will protect the blindside of new starting quarterback Tim Boyle on Friday.
Nov 23, 2023
Could miss Friday
Becton (ankle) was a non-participant during Thursday's walkthrough practice, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Becton has been unable to practice this week, but he has yet to be ruled out for Friday's game against the Dolphins and should be considered questionable for the matchup.
Nov 21, 2023
Could return sooner than thought
Becton (ankle) did not participate at practice Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
However, per Connor Hughes of SNY.tv, coach Robert Saleh said Tuesday that Becton is trying to return for Friday's game versus the Dolphins, pushing back a bit against previous reporting that he was expected to miss 1-2 weeks. All in all, it seems he could give himself a chance to suit up in Week 12 If he's able to practice Wednesday or Thursday.
Nov 21, 2023
Suffers low-grade ankle sprain
Becton has been diagnosed with a low-grade ankle sprain and is expected to miss one-to-two weeks, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Becton was carted off the field early in Sunday's loss to the Bills, but he's avoided a serious injury. It still sounds like he's going to miss game action, further testing the Jets' offensive line depth. Becton has started the last eight games at left tackle after opening the season as the team's right tackle. Fourth-round rookie Carter Warren replaced Becton against Buffalo.
Nov 20, 2023
Headed for MRI
Becton will undergo an MRI on Monday to help diagnose the ankle injury he suffered in Sunday's loss to the Bills, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Becton suffered the injury in the first quarter and was unable to return after being carted off the field. It is believed he suffered a high-ankle sprain, although the results of the MRI should be able to confirm the extent of his injury.
Nov 19, 2023
Done for night
Becton (ankle) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's contest with Buffalo, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.
ANALYSIS
Becton suffered an ankle injury in the first quarter and he will now remain sidelined until the conclusion of the game. In his place, rookie Carter Warren will continue to operate as the team's left tackle.
Nov 19, 2023
Carted off field
Becton (ankle) was carted off the field in the first quarter of Sunday's matchup with the Bills, Andy Vasquez of The Bergen Record reports.
ANALYSIS
Becton went down with a lower-leg injury on the Jets' second possession of the game and he is considered questionable to return. In the meantime, Carter Warren has entered the contest at left tackle.
Aug 27, 2023
Named starter
Brian Costello of the New York Post reports that the Jets have named Becton as the starting right tackle.
ANALYSIS
Becton missed the entire 2022 season after suffering an avulsion fracture in his right kneecap during training camp. Zach Rosenblatt of The Athletic noted that Becton, upon his return, performed well during the preseason, allowing just three pressures in 47 pass-blocking snaps in four games. The 2020 first-round pick out of Louisville will play a key role in protecting new Jets' quarterback Aaron Rodgers, starting with their Week 1 showdown against the Bills on Sept. 11.
Jul 30, 2023
Ready to play
Becton (knee) will play Thursday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Becton has been dealing with a knee issue that has left him limited at the start of camp. However, the 2020 first-round selection will play in the Hall of Fame game Thursday against the Browns. He'll be working to earn the team's starting duties at right tackle.
Jul 30, 2023
Participating in team drills
Becton (knee) was playing at left tackle during team drills Sunday, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Becton has seen limited work during training camp as he battles through knee soreness. Becton's participation in team drills Sunday is a promising sign that he is closer to full health as he competes for a starting tackle spot for 2023.
Jul 26, 2023
Misses practice with knee soreness
Becton (knee) sat out practice Wednesday, Zach Braziller of the New York Post reports.
ANALYSIS
Becton saw limited work Tuesday but failed to take the field at all Wednesday. After missing most of the past two seasons due to knee injuries, Becton's still battling knee soreness early in training camp.
Jul 20, 2023
Full go ahead of 2023
Becton (kneecap) is healthy ahead of the Jets' training camp starting July 29, Connor Hughes of SNY.tv reports.
ANALYSIS
Head coach Robert Saleh said Thursday that Becton is a "full go" and that he's competing for a starting job at either left tackle or right tackle heading into the 2023 campaign. The 24-year-old has struggled with injuries throughout his career, but he's cut down his weight significantly this offseason in an attempt to finally live up to his first round selection in the 2020 NFL Draft.
Jun 9, 2023
Expected back for training camp
Becton (kneecap) was a limited participant at practice Friday, Al Iannazzone of Newsday reports.
ANALYSIS
Becton worked out off to the side of the Jets' practice Friday and head coach Robert Saleh said he expects him to be a "full-go" for next month's training camp. The 24-year-old missed the entirety of the 2022 campaign with a right kneecap injury and he'll compete for a starting role at left tackle with Duane Brown (shoulder) in 2023.
May 23, 2023
Not available to start OTAs
Becton (kneecap) won't practice Tuesday at OTAs, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Becton said the switch to right tackle last season caused his right knee injury, and he hopes to play exclusively at left tackle in 2023. However, head coach Robert Saleh said Duane Brown is still in competition for left tackle, and that the best five offensive lineman will play, which means Becton may have to settle for the right side again. Regardless, Becton's health is the primary concern for both parties this offseason, but there hasn't been any indication he's in danger of missing the start of next season.
May 2, 2023
Fifth-year option not exercised
Becton's (kneecap) fifth-year option was declined by the Jets on Tuesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Becton missed all of last season after injuring his kneecap during training camp, and although he's said he has lost weight and is in better shape, the Jets have opted not to keep the 2020 first-round pick under contract for the 2024 campaign. Although the 24-year-old showed potential during his rookie year, he has played in just one game since then, and Becton will now look to stay healthy and try to bounce back for the upcoming season.
May 2, 2023
Fifth-year option not exercised
Becton (kneecap) had the fifth-year option on his rookie contract declined by the Jets on Tuesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Becton missed all of last season after injuring his kneecap during training camp, and although he's said he has lost weight and is in better shape, the Jets have opted not to keep the 2020 first-round pick under contract for the 2024 campaign. Although the 24-year-old showed potential during his rookie year, he has played in just one game since then. Becton will look to stay healthy and try to bounce back during the upcoming season.
Mar 12, 2023
Making progress
Becton (kneecap) expects to be ready for training camp, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Becton suffered an avulsion fracture of his right kneecap during training camp and missed the entirety of last season. Headed into his fourth season, the soon-to-be 24-year-old also said he has lost weight and is feeling good. He's expected to be the team's starting right tackle next season.
Aug 16, 2022
Placed on IR
Becton (kneecap) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Becton suffered the injury in practice last Monday, with reports surfacing the next day that the 23-year-old was likely done for the season. The move to IR makes it official, as Becton will likely need surgery to repair the avulsion fracture of his kneecap.
Aug 9, 2022
Season likely done
Becton is slated to get a second opinion on his knee injury, but coach Robert Saleh indicated Tuesday that the offensive tackle's season is likely done, Eric Allen of the Jets' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Becton is dealing with an avulsion fracture of his right knee cap, and at this stage it looks like the Jets' starting right tackle is bracing for an extended absence.
Aug 8, 2022
May have significant injury
MRI exams show that Becton's knee injury suffered at the Jets' practice Monday may have been worse than initially feared, Connor Hughes of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Jets coach Robert Saleh initially indicated that Monday's injury was not overly severe, but further evaluations seem to show that Becton may have suffered yet another significant knee injury. Connor Hughes of The Athletic reports that the offensive lineman suffered an injury to his knee cap/patella Monday, which is unrelated to the MCL issue that sidelined him for all but one game in the 2021 season. Becton will undergo further tests to determine the severity of this new injury with the possibility that there could be additional issues.
Aug 8, 2022
Suffers knee injury at practice
Becton suffered a knee injury at Monday's training camp practice, Andy Vasquez of The Bergen Record reports.
ANALYSIS
Becton left Monday's practice session after sustaining a knee injury, but head coach Robert Saleh says the early reports indicate that his knee is "stable". The 23-year will certainly undergo additional testing Monday and more information will be provided on his status.
Jul 27, 2022
Candidate for left tackle job
Coach Robert Saleh said Wednesday that Becton's left tackle days "aren't over," Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Becton looked strong at the position as a 21-year-old rookie in 2020, so there's plenty of reason to believe he can win back his spot there now that he has fully recovered from the MCL tear he suffered in 2021. George Fant also proved solid when he stepped in for Becton last year though, so the Jets very well may opt to kick the third-year behemoth out to the right tackle position to start 2022.
Jul 26, 2022
Moves off PUP list
The Jets activated Becton off the PUP list Tuesday, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Knee injuries are bad news for guys who weigh upwards of 360 pounds, and Becton has been rehabbing ever since he tore his MCL back in Week 1 of 2021. Now that he's finally ready for practice, he'll compete with George Fant for the starting job at left tackle protecting Zach Wilson's blind side. Whoever comes up short in that competition should find themselves at right tackle to start the regular season.
Jul 21, 2022
Ends up on PUP list
Becton (knee) was placed on the Jets' active/physically unable to perform list Thursday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Becton will start training camp on the PUP list after Jets coach Robert Saleh indicated that he expects the offensive tackle to be ready for this stage of the offseason. However, the 23-year-old can be activated as soon as Day 1 of training camp, so there's still a chance he can practice before the start of the regular season. Becton has been sidelined since suffering a torn MCL in Week 1 of last year and he will have to compete to reclaim his starting spot heading into the 2022 campaign.
Jun 15, 2022
Expected back for training camp
Jets head coach Robert Saleh said Wednesday that Becton (knee) is expected to be ready for the start of training camp, Al Iannazzone of Newsday reports.
ANALYSIS
Becton started 13 games at left tackle as a rookie, but he suffered an MCL injury during Week 1 of the 2021 campaign and was ultimately sidelined for the entire season. George Fant replaced the No. 11 overall pick in the 2020 Draft at left tackle and played well enough to compete with Becton for the starting gig to during the offseason. It's encouraging to hear Saleh say Becton is making good progress, but the Louisville product will have to do more than just go through the motions if he wants to reclaim his starting gig.
Feb 1, 2022
Will have to compete for job
Coach Robert Saleh said Tuesday that Becton (knee) will have to compete with George Fant for the left tackle job during training camp next season, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Becton was the 11th overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft and started 13 games at left tackle during his rookie season. However, he suffered an MCL injury during Week 1 of the 2021 campaign that ultimately sidelined him for the entire season. Fant took over and apparently played well enough to compete with the former first-round pick for the starting left tackle gig. Becton is expected to be healthy by the time training camp rolls around, but he'll have to do more than just go through the motions if he wants to be the Jets' starting left tackle in Week 1
Dec 27, 2021
Likely out for season
Coach Robert Saleh said Monday that he expects Becton (knee) to be sidelined for the final two games of the regular season, Eric Allen of the Jets' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Becton has been sidelined since mid-September after he underwent knee surgery, but the Jets were hopeful that he'd be able to return late in the season. Although the 22-year-old didn't suffer a setback in his recovery, he's unlikely to be cleared in time for the final two games of the year. George Fant should continue to serve as the Jets' starting left tackle.
Dec 21, 2021
Won't play in Week 16
Becton has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Jacksonville and has been unable to return to practice, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.
ANALYSIS
The Jets have been optimistic over the last few weeks that Becton would be able to return before the end of the season, but based on the fact that he's still yet to resume practicing, it's looking more likely that his 2021 is over. Still, the team has yet to officially rule him out for the last two weeks against two tough opponents in Tampa Bay and Buffalo.
Dec 15, 2021
Won't practice ahead of Week 15
Coach Robert Saleh said Wednesday that Becton (knee) won't practice ahead of Week 15, but he remains "hopeful" that he is able to return this season, Andy Vasquez of The Bergen Record reports.
ANALYSIS
Becton hasn't played since the Jets' first game of the season due to arthroscopic knee surgery. Saleh has remained hopeful that the 2020 first-round pick would be able to return this season, but with the Jets sitting at 3-9, they will likely remain very cautious with their talented left tackle.
Dec 8, 2021
Hopefully returns this season
Coach Robert Saleh said Wednesday that Becton (knee) "hopefully" is able to return this season, Connor Hughes of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Becton hasn't played since the Jets' first game of the season due to arthroscopic knee surgery, and there doesn't appear to be a timetable for an eventual return. The 2020 first-round pick continues to do field work, but he still isn't practicing, which means he remains on injured reserve. With the Jets sitting at 3-9 on the season, they will likely remain very cautious with their talented left tackle.
Nov 30, 2021
Not expected to play Sunday
Coach Robert Saleh said Monday that Becton (knee) is progressing well but still not practicing, and he isn't expected to play Sunday against the Eagles, Ethan B. Greenberg of the Jets' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Saleh said that Becton will progress to doing field work this week, but he still isn't participating in practice, which means he remains on injured reserve. The 2020 first-round pick hasn't played since the Jets' first game of the season due to arthroscopic knee surgery, but he appears close to making his return. George Fant and Morgan Moses are expected to once again start at the offensive tackle spots against the Eagles in Week 13.
Nov 22, 2021
Won't return this week
Becton (knee) won't return to practice this week, Ethan B. Greenberg of the Jets' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Becton won't be activated from injured reserve this week, so he has been ruled out for Sunday's contest at Houston. The 2020 first-round pick hasn't played since the Jets' first game of the season after undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery.
Nov 15, 2021
Needs more time
Becton (knee) is still 1-to-3 weeks away from returning according to head coach Robert Saleh,Al Iannazzone of Newsday reports.
ANALYSIS
Becton hasn't played since the Jets' first game of the season, subsequently undergoing arthroscopic surgery. It was expected he could miss as much as eight weeks, which has already passed. Becton, who was the Jets' 2020 first-round selection will keep trying to make it back before the 2021 season comes to a close.
Nov 2, 2021
Still not ready
Becton (knee) is still a couple of weeks away from starting to practice, Connor Hughes of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Becton sprained his MCL in the Jets' first game of the season and ultimately had to undergo arthroscopic surgery on Sept. 21. It was determined that he would miss 4-to-8 weeks and a couple weeks away would put him on the later end of that timeline. Becton, who was the Jets' 2020 first-round selection, will keep working to make it back before the 2021 season comes to a close.
Oct 18, 2021
Still weeks away from return
Coach Robert Saleh said Monday that Becton (knee) is a few weeks away from returning, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Becton underwent knee surgery in mid-September that carries a recovery timetable of 4-to-8 weeks. Although the left tackle will require more time before he's cleared to return, Saleh said that the second-year pro is in "pretty good shape."
Sep 21, 2021
Goes under knife
Becton (knee) announced via his personal Twitter account Tuesday that he has undergone surgery.
ANALYSIS
Becton is expected to miss 4-to-8 weeks due to a knee injury sustained Week 1, and it was already announced that he would require arthroscopic surgery to repair his MCL. Until such time as the 2020 first-round pick is cleared to return, George Fant will hold down the fort at left tackle and protect Zach Wilson's blind side.
Sep 17, 2021
Expected to miss 4-to-8 weeks
Becton (knee) is scheduled to undergo knee surgery next Wednesday and is expected to miss 4-to-8 weeks, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
The Jets already placed Becton on IR, but his initial timetable to return was set at 4-to-6 weeks. After further evaluation, the left tackle may miss even more time. George Fant is expected to flip over to the left side of the line to replace Becton, while Morgan Moses is inserted at right tackle.
Sep 14, 2021
Lands on IR
Becton (knee) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
It had previously been announced that Becton would be out 4-6 weeks, so this move was procedural. George Fant is expected to start at left tackle and Morgan Moses at right tackle in Becton's absence.
Sep 13, 2021
Expected to be out 4-6 weeks
Becton (knee) will need arthroscopic surgery and is expected to miss 4-6 weeks after injuring his MCL during Sunday's contest against the Panthers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
After Becton left Sunday's contest, George Fant flipped to left tackle and Morgan Moses stepped in at right tackle. It is likely that will be how the Jets elect to align their offensive line while the 2020 first-round pick rehabs from surgery.
Sep 12, 2021
Initial tests show MCL damage
The initial tests regarding Becton (knee) injury show there might be damage to his MCL, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
ANALYSIS
Becton appeared to suffer an MCL sprain, and while that would keep him out for several weeks, that's not a bad scenario considering the initial talks covered the possibility of an ACL injury. Bicton will have an MRI to confirm the diagnosis, but that is the initial word fresh off the season opener.
Sep 12, 2021
Carted off with leg injury
Becton was helped off the field and carted to the locker room with an apparent knee injury, Connor Hughes of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Becton's injury did not look good by any means, and while he is officially listed as doubtful to return, his day is almost certainly done.
Sep 7, 2021
Will be cleared to play Sunday
Becton (concussion) practiced Monday and will be officially cleared Tuesday to play Week 1, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Becton started 13 games at left tackle for the Jets last season and will be a major key in keeping Zach Wilson upright during the 2021 campaign. The 2020 11th overall pick dealt with plantar fasciitis this spring and a concussion this summer, but he appears to be fully healthy heading into Week 1 against the Panthers.
Jul 27, 2021
Ready to roll
Becton (foot) is "ready to roll" after dealing with plantar fasciitis this spring, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Becton appears to be fully healthy at the start of training camp. Head coach Robert Saleh said the 2020 No. 11 overall pick is in "fantastic shape" and is "ready to roll" as the Jets begin the season. Last year, the Louisville product started 13 games at left tackle and will be key in keeping rookie Zach Wilson healthy during the 2021 campaign.
Jun 16, 2021
Ready for training camp
Becton (foot) is expected to be fully healthy for the start of training camp, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.
ANALYSIS
The 2020 first-round pick has been battling a foot injury, but it's not expected to affect him for the start of camp. Becton started 13 games at left tackle as a rookie and will continue working there in 2021.
Jan 3, 2021
Leaves with ankle injury
Becton (ankle) left Sunday's game due to an ankle injury, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.
ANALYSIS
While the extent of the injury is unclear at this time, Becton is questionable to return after suffering an ankle injury during Sunday's game against the Patriots. George Fant and Chuma Edoga will likely continue the team's tackle duties if the rookie is unable to return.
Nov 18, 2020
All clear Wednesday
Becton (chest) was a full participant during Wednesday's practice, Andy Vasquez of The Bergen Record reports.
ANALYSIS
Becton exited Week 9's game against the Patriots before the bye week with the chest injury, but he's expected to play in Sunday's game against the Chargers. Expect the rookie out of Louisville to return to his usual role as the team's starting left tackle.
Nov 16, 2020
Should not miss time
Becton (chest) is expected to play Sunday against the Chargers, Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News reports.
ANALYSIS
The 21-year-old exited last week's loss to the Patriots after having some issues breathing, but he apparently checked out fine during the bye week. Assuming Becton returns to practice with no issues later in the week, he should be back at his start post at left tackle this weekend.
Nov 9, 2020
Will not return
Becton (chest) will not return to Monday's game against the Patriots, Al Iannazzone of Newsday reports.
ANALYSIS
The Jets were running behind Becton frequently and successfully prior to his exit late in the first quarter. However, It makes sense that they would err on the side of caution with their 2020 first-round pick by keeping him sidelined for the rest of the game. More clarity on the severity of the injury should come out in the following days.
Nov 9, 2020
Questionable to return
Becton is considered questionable to return to Monday's game against the Patriots due to a chest injury, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.
ANALYSIS
The Jets were aggressively running to the left behind Becton prior him exiting the contest and doing so successfully. Thus, a quick return would be advantageous for their offense. Expect an update on the 2020 first-round pick's status when there is more clarity on the situation.
Oct 25, 2020
Return to return
Becton (shoulder) is officially active for Sunday's game against the Bills, Randy Lange of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Becton missed last week's loss to the Dolphins, so his addition in the lineup will be huge for the protection of Sam Darnlold (shoulder), who is also active. The good news is that the Jets' No. 2 and 3 offensive tackles George Fant (knee) and Chuma Edoga (calf) are also active along side Becton.
Oct 25, 2020
Looks good for Sunday
Becton (shoulder), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bills, is expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Becton's likely return is welcome news for quarterback Sam Darnold (shoulder), who is slated to rejoin the lineup following a two-game absence of his own. Even though the Jets will get their left tackle back, the offensive line is still banged up heading into the Week 7 matchup. Left guard Alex Lewis (shoulder) is doubtful for the contest, while the Jets' No. 2 and 3 offensive tackles (George Fant and Chuma Edoga) are both questionable with knee and calf injuries, respectively.
Oct 23, 2020
Status uncertain for Sunday
Becton (shoulder) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Bills, Andy Vasquez of The Bergen Record reports.
ANALYSIS
This injury has lingered for nearly a month now, but it's encouraging that Becton practiced all week, albeit in a limited fashion. George Fant (knee) and Chuma Edoga (calf) are both candidates to fill in at left tackle if Becton can't go, but both are considered questionable as well.
Oct 18, 2020
Not suiting up Sunday
Becton (shoulder) is officially inactive for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
ANALYSIS
Becton was listed as doubtful Friday after failing to suit up in practice, so this news isn't surprising. The rookie out of Louisville will miss his second straight contest, so expect George Fant to handle left tackle duties with Chuma Edoga filling in at right tackle.
Oct 16, 2020
Trending in wrong direction
Becton (shoulder) is considered doubtful for Sunday's game versus the Dolphins.
ANALYSIS
Becton picked up this injury in Week 3 and has battled it ever since. It's disappointing since the rookie first-rounder has been one of the lone bright spots for the Jets this season. George Fant is expected to start at left tackle in his place while Chuma Edoga fills in at right tackle.
Oct 11, 2020
Sits Week 5
Becton (shoulder) is inactive Week 5 against Arizona.
ANALYSIS
Becton made a brief -- and likely premature -- appearance on the field Week 4 against Denver, but ultimately couldn't finish the game. He was sidelined from practice the entire week, so it's no surprise to see him sidelined for the home matchup against the Cardinals.
Oct 10, 2020
Deemed doubtful
Becton (shoulder) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's matchup with the Cardinals, Andy Vasquez of The Bergen Record reports.
ANALYSIS
Becton was unable to practice all week, so his chances of playing Sunday certainly seem slim. If he is indeed unable to give it a go, look for Chuma Edoga to replace him at left tackle.
Oct 2, 2020
Couldn't play through injury
Coach Adam Gase said after Thursday's loss to the Broncos that Becton (shoulder) attempted to play through his injury but wasn't able to finish the game, Andy Vasquez of The Bergen Record reports.
ANALYSIS
Gase called upon Becton, who was clearly at less than 100 percent health, to enter Thursday's contest after just four plays due to Chuma Edoga (shoulder) suffering an injury of his own. At this point, the Jets can only hope that the rookie first-round pick avoided any setbacks while attempting to play Thursday, and that he'll be able to recover in time to suit up against the Cardinals in Week 5.
Oct 1, 2020
Officially available Thursday
Becton (shoulder) is active for Thursday's game against the Broncos, Randy Lange of the Jets' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Becton missed the second half of Sunday's loss to the Colts and has since been limited in practice, but he'll give it a go for Thursday Night Football. The Jets may opt to have Conor McDermott stat at left tackle, with Becton serving as a reserve option.
Sep 30, 2020
Uncertain for TNF
Becton (shoulder) is questionable for Thursday's game versus the Broncos.
ANALYSIS
Becton has been limited in practice all week after suffering a shoulder injury in Sunday's loss to the Colts. It's a positive sign that he hasn't missed practice time, but his final status likely won't be revealed about 90 minutes before Thursday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff. Conor McDermott will likely fill in if Becton sits out.
Sep 28, 2020
Could play as soon as Thursday
Becton's (shoulder) MRI came back better than expected and he has a chance to suit up Thursday against the Broncos, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
This is great news for the impressive rookie left tackle, who was forced out of Sunday's loss to the Colts. Even if Becton can't go on a short week in Week 4, it sounds like he'll almost certainly be available in Week 5 against the Cardinals.
Sep 27, 2020
Officially done for day
Becton (shoulder) won't return to Sunday's game versus the Colts, Al Iannazzone of Newsday reports.
ANALYSIS
An 11th overall pick in April, Becton has impressed immediately as the team's starting left tackle. He was quickly ruled out of Sunday's game after suffering a shoulder injury, so Chuma Edoga replaced him. He'll need to make a quick recovery ahead of Thursday's matchup against the Broncos.
Sep 27, 2020
Suffers shoulder injury
Becton (shoulder) is doubtful to return to Sunday's game against the Colts, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.
ANALYSIS
Per Vacchiano, the broadcast team for Sunday's game stated that Becton won't return to the contest, so it's unlikely you'll see him again Sunday. With the rookie from Louisville out, look for Chuma Edoga to take over as the team's starting left tackle.
