The injury bug continued to hit the Jets hard on Tuesday during the team’s joint practice with the Eagles.
Tackle Mekhi Becton left the field and is being evaluated for a head injury, while rookie cornerback Brandin Echols is being looked at for a hip injury, according to Robert Saleh. The Jets took Becton out after he endured a head-to-head collision and vomited. Echols landed on his hip during a coverage play and left with trainers.
A few notable injured Jets returned to limited action while others remained sidelined.
Quinnen Williams, Alijah Vera-Tucker and Elijah More all participated in some team and individual drills. Saleh added that he hopes receiver Denzel Mims will return next week but didn’t offer updates on safety Lamarcus Joyner or defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins. Saleh didn’t seem too concerned about any of the injuries.
All three were injured last week during practice with the Packers.
