Jets’ OL Becton injures knee
New York Jets offensive tackle Mekhi Becton left practice early Monday after appearing to injure his surgically repaired right knee early.
Becton, entering his third NFL season, was being evaluated and the team was awaiting MRI results.
The 6-foot-7 lineman was run-blocking at right tackle on the second play of team drills when he went down on the grass and immediately grabbed at his knee. The 2020 firstround draft pick was down for a few moments before trying to get up, and needed assistance from trainers to walk off the field.

Giants’ practice disrupted by fights:
Tempers erupted at the New York Giants camp on Monday.
In a span a four plays, running back Saquon Barkley plowed over cornerback Aaron Robinson and linebacker Tae Crowder got into it with free agent running back Antonio Williams. Starting center Jon Feliciano appeared to knee Crowder on an ensuing play, an incident which emptied both sidelines onto the field.
Linebacker Cam Brown grabbed the back of Feliciano's jersey and dragged him out of a scrum of 50 players. The center then got on his feet and threw a haymaker at Brown that seemed to connect with his helmet. Brown tried to swing back.
