Scouting Jets cornerback Luq Barcoo
Reinhold Matay-USA TODAY Sports In the early days of training camp, the Jets signed a few new players and we’ll be breaking them down in depth for you over the next week or so. Today, we break down cornerback Luq Barcoo in detail. The 24-year old Barcoo is listed at 6’1” and 175 pounds and was undrafted out of San Diego State in 2020. He has played in three NFL games, starting one. Barcoo led the nation in interceptions and passes defensed in his senior year at San Diego State. Background Barcoo was a three-star prospect out of high school, but didn’t receive...

New York Jets Flight Connections 8/11/22
Photo by Rich Schultz/ Bringing your daily links to the NFL’s New York Jets Good morning, Gang Green Nation. I hope you’re all having a great start to the day. We finally get Jets football, as tomorrow the Jets will play the Philadelphia Eagles for their first preseason game. As Jets fans are painfully aware, the team has yet to win a regular season game against the Eagles. While it won’t be the same if the team were to win in preseason, it would be nice to see nonetheless. One thing to keep an eye on is the Jets offensive line, and who could potentially find...

Zach Wilson to start preseason opener, limited to ‘one or two’ series
Zach Wilson will start but with limited opportunities in the preseason opener Friday, the quarterback’s first action against another team since his disappointing rookie campaign ended seven months ago.

Jets Training Camp News and Live Updates 8/10
Chris Pedota, NorthJersey.com / USA TODAY NETWORK The Jets are back on the practice field today as training camp continues in Florham Park, New Jersey. Tuesday the Jets gave official word that they are expecting to be without right tackle Mekhi Becton for the season. Becton left Monday’s practice with an injury. Any hopes a strong offensive line performance in practice on Tuesday could calm nerves were quickly dashed. The offensive line reportedly had an ugly day leaving Zach Wilson in constant duress (or simulated duress since the quarterback can’t be hit in...

New York Jets Flight Connections 8/10/22
Photo by Rich Schultz/ Bringing your daily links to the NFL’s New York Jets Good morning, Gang Green Nation. I hope you’re all having a great start to the day. It’s now basically a given that Jets tackle Mekhi Becton is going to miss the 2022 season after re-injuring his surgically repaired knee. It’s really a big blow to the Jets offense, and to Becton himself. While the chances now are unlikely, I hope Becton is able to revitalize his career with the Jets next season and move past the injury with a healthy slate. But until that happens, the Jets need to find...

Podcast: Mekhi Becton Done for the Year
Photo by Rich Schultz/ Last night the Jets got bad news on Mekhi Becton’s status. Becton left Monday’s practice with a knee injury. It was the same knee that cost him almost the entire 2021 season. After initial testing Monday afternoon provided optimism, further testing Monday evening had the Jets fearing the worst. Tuesday it was revealed that Becton will likely miss the entire 2022 season. This is just awful news on numerous levels. A young player who just went through a difficult rehab will have to go through another. He will miss a second formative year of his...

Mekhi Becton Likely Out for the Year With Knee Injury
Photo by Rich Schultz/ Jets tackle Mekhi Becton will likely miss the full 2022 season according to Ian Rapoport. #Jets OT Mekhi Becton has suffered an avulsion fracture of the right knee cap, per me and @MikeGarafolo. He’s seeing a surgeon tomorrow, but likely is out for the year. Brutal.— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) August 9, 2022 Jets head coach Robert Saleh confirmed the report. Robert Saleh says Mekhi Becton is getting a second evaluation, but the “inevitable” seems at this point that the offensive tackle will miss the season. #Jets— Dennis Waszak Jr....

Jets Training Camp News and Live Updates 8/9
Photo by Rich Schultz/ The Jets are practicing again today as training camp continues at the team facility in Florham Park, New Jersey. The story of the day will not pertain to what is happening on the practice field. Yesterday starting right tackle Mekhi Becton left practice with and apparent knee injury. This was the knee he injured in last year’s season opener against Carolina that caused him to miss the final 16 games. The Jets initially struck an optimistic tone that it was not anything serious. However, last night the optimism faded as medical tests apparently...

Photo by Mike Comer/ Bringing your daily links to the NFL’s New York Jets Good morning, Gang Green Nation. I hope you’re all having a great start to the day. The Jets defensive line had a great practice yesterday, but that didn’t stop Zach Wilson from looking cool and calm under pressure. Wilson played great, looking poised and making the right decisions more often than not. It’s what you want to see from the second year player so far in camp. The bigger story however, is the injury of Mekhi Becton. Becton was limping in individual drills, and was absolutely...

Reports: Jets Now Fear the Worst on Mekhi Becton’s Injury
Photo by John Jones/Icon Sportswire via Even after Mekhi Becton left Monday’s practice with an injury, Jets head coach Robert Saleh struck a hopeful tone. The team’s initial assessment was that Becton’s injury was likely not serious. Things have apparently changed since Becton has received more extensive testing. #Jets OT Mekhi Becton’s knee injury is more concerning than the team originally believed following practice today, sources tell me and @RapSheet. It’s a new injury and unrelated to his previous knee injury. Becton has additional medical...

Podcast: As the Jets Look to Upgrade Tackle Depth, Mekhi Becton Suffers an Injury
Photo by Rich Schultz/ Over the weekend the Jets brought in veteran tackle Duane Brown for a free agent visit. The Jets are lacking in tackle depth. A year ago they found themselves in a fortunate situation as Morgan Moses ended up cut late in the offseason. Without many options, Moses had to take a cheap deal and a backup job for the Jets. That move ended up paying dividends when Mekhi Becton got hurt. Unfortunately for the Jets Becton got hurt against on Monday. Preliminary reports suggest the injury is unlikely to be overly serious, but the news of a Becton injury...

Jets Sign Journeyman OL Caleb Benenoch
Photo by Wesley Hitt/ In the wake of several health issues for Jets offensive linemen, including today’s knee injury suffered by starting right tackle Mekhi Becton, the New York Jets have signed offensive lineman Caleb Benenoch. Caleb Benenoch is a 28 year old, 6’ 5”, 305 pound offensive lineman out of UCLA. Benenoch was originally drafted in the 5th round of the 2016 NFL draft by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He was born in Nigeria and played soccer (called football in most of the rest of the world outside the United States). He moved to the United States at the age...
