The Jets finally caught an injury break, and not a literal one.
Adam Gase said Monday that Mekhi Becton’s MRI on his shoulder came back better than expected. Becton is considered day-to-day and there’s a chance he can play on Thursday against the Denver Broncos. If Becton can’t go, Connor McDermott will start at left tackle for the Jets. Either way, this is better news than expected after Becton left’s Sunday’s game against the Colts and didn’t return.
Elsewhere, Jordan Jenkins is also day-to-day with a shoulder injury. Like Becton, there’s a possibility Jenkins plays on Thursday. Gase said that it will be hard to hold Jenkins out.
As for Jamison Crowder (hamstring), he’ll go through walkthroughs this week and the Jets will make a determination on his status after that. Breshad Perriman (ankle) is still out.
George Fant and Quincy Wilson are still in concussion protocol. They will have to clear protocol in order to play on Thursday. Ashtyn Davis (groin) could go through walkthroughs this week, while Jordan Willis (ankle) is unlikely to play on Thursday.
