Becton moves to left tackle as Jets shuffle offensive line for their game vs. Patriots

Associated Press  

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — The New York Jets shuffled some of the big boys up front on the offensive line for their game against the New England Patriots on Sunday. With starting left tackle Duane Brown placed on injured reserve Saturday with a hip injury, the Jets moved Mekhi Becton from right tackle to the left side.

The 2020 first-round draft pick entered the NFL as a left tackle, but moved to the right side last summer before he was injured.
