Facing competition at left tackle Coach Robert Saleh said Wednesday that fellow lineman Mekhi Becton's left tackle days "aren't over," Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports. Impact Fant looked solid at the position after Becton went down Week 1 last season, but protecting sophomore quarterback Zach Wilson is paramount to the Jets' front office, so whoever looks better-suited to guarding his blind side this year is going to end up with the job. Should Becton earn back his spot at left tackle, Fant figures to rotate over to right tackle.
