Mekhi Becton is facing a second lost season.
The 11th overall draft pick in the 2020 draft suffered a serious knee injury — a chip fracture to his kneecap — during Monday’s practice and is expected to miss the season, Robert Saleh revealed Tuesday.
“It’s probably the inevitable,” Saleh said of the severity of the injury. “I’m just sick for Mekhi.”
He then added when asked if Becton’s season appears over: “Yeah, it’s more than likely.”
The 23-year-old right tackle played just one game last season after being carted off in the season opener with a dislocated right kneecap and cartilage damage.
