“#Jets exercise caution with Mekhi Becton’s mysterious chest injury<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n There is some uncertainty about what exactly is wrong with Jets rookie left tackle Mekhi Becton after he left Monday night\u2019s game<\/a> in the first quarter with what was called a chest injury.<\/p>\n

Jets coach Adam Gase said Becton was having trouble breathing after the chest injury and the Jets doctors and trainers were unsure why. They ran him through a battery of tests before ruling him out.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe went through all kinds of things to make sure he was good,\u201d Gase said. \u201cAt the end of the day, we decided not to put him back in the game, just making sure that he was OK. We were concerned that maybe there was something there that we couldn\u2019t figure out. We just wanted to make sure our trainers and doctors did everything they could to rule out any issues there.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gase said Becton does not have a muscle injury. He also said he was not told the doctors believe there is any lung or heart issue causing it.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think they\u2019re just going to keep talking to him and go through all the exact symptoms and why he felt certain ways at certain times,\u201d Gase said. \u201cIt\u2019s hard for me to explain because I\u2019m not a doctor. I just know that he couldn\u2019t play. They\u2019re trying to put him in position to where he can play the next game.\u201d<\/p>\n

The only other notable injury from the game was cornerback Brian Poole leaving with a knee injury, but Gase said there is no structural damage and was hopeful Poole can play against the Chargers on Nov. 22. <\/p>\n\n

QB Sam Darnold, who missed Monday\u2019s game with a shoulder injury, said it is a \u201cday-to-day process\u201d for him right now in trying to get back for the Jets\u2019 next game in 1 \u00bd weeks. Darnold said his shoulder acted up last week when he tried to practice after taking a big hit in the loss to the Chiefs a few days prior.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt just didn\u2019t feel right during the week of practice,\u201d Darnold said. \u201cWe knew that giving it a week or two would definitely be the best decision to make. It was a hard decision, but I went with my gut on it. I think this next week and a half, two weeks is going to be key to letting this thing recover and healing all the way so I can finish out the season strong.\u201d<\/p>\n
