The starting right tackle is trending toward returning Sunday against the Falcons after missing the Jets' Week 12 loss to the Dolphins. Becton started New York's first 10 games after only playing in one in 2021 and 2022 combined.
After being limited to just one appearance over the previous two seasons by knee injuries, Becton started New York's first 10 games of 2023, but an ankle sprain suffered in Week 11 against the Bills will lead to the left tackle's first absence of the season. Duane Brown (hip) -- who was activated from injured reserve Thursday -- will protect the blindside of new starting quarterback Tim Boyle on Friday.
Becton has been unable to practice this week, but he has yet to be ruled out for Friday's game against the Dolphins and should be considered questionable for the matchup.
Becton went down with a lower-leg injury on the Jets' second possession of the game and he is considered questionable to return. In the meantime, Carter Warren has entered the contest at left tackle.
