The New York Jets announced Tuesday that they’ve placed OT Mekhi Becton on injured reserve and released four players.
The full list includes:
- DB Luq Barcoo
- OL Derrick Kelly
- DE Timmy Ward
- WR Rashard Davis
This officially ends Becton’s 2022 season after he suffered an avulsion fracture of the kneecap.
Becton, 23, was a three-year starter at Louisville and earned second-team All-American honors before being selected by the Jets with the No. 11 pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.
Becton signed a four-year, $18,446,045 rookie contract that included a $10,975,306 signing bonus. The contract also includes a fifth year for the Jets to pick up for the 2024 season.
In 2021, Becton was limited to appearing in just one game for the Jets due to a knee injury.
