Jets Notebook | What Is the Injury Status of Sam Darnold and Mekhi Becton? RB Le’Veon Bell, WR Denzel Mims Eligible to Come off IR for Week 5

Couldn't play through injury Coach Adam Gase said after Thursday's loss to the Broncos that Becton (shoulder) attempted to play through his injury but wasn't able to finish the game, Andy Vasquez of The Berge...
Impact Gase called upon Becton, who was clearly at less than 100 percent health, to enter Thursday's contest after just four plays due to Chuma Edoga (shoulder) suffering an injury of his own. At this point, the Jets can only hope that the rookie first-round pick avoided any setbacks while attempting to play Thursday, and that he'll be able to recover in time to suit up against the Cardinals in Week 5.

Officially available Thursday Becton (shoulder) is active for Thursday's game against the Broncos, Randy Lange of the Jets' official site reports.
Impact Becton missed the second half of Sunday's loss to the Colts and has since been limited in practice, but he'll give it a go for Thursday Night Football. The Jets may opt to have Conor McDermott stat at left tackle, with Becton serving as a reserve option.

Uncertain for TNF Becton (shoulder) is questionable for Thursday's game versus the Broncos.
Impact Becton has been limited in practice all week after suffering a shoulder injury in Sunday's loss to the Colts. It's a positive sign that he hasn't missed practice time, but his final status likely won't be revealed until about 90 minutes before Thursday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff. Conor McDermott will likely fill in if Becton sits out.

Could play as soon as Thursday Becton's (shoulder) MRI came back better than expected and he has a chance to suit up Thursday against the Broncos, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Impact This is great news for the impressive rookie left tackle, who was forced out of Sunday's loss to the Colts. Even if Becton can't go on a short week in Week 4, it sounds like he'll almost certainly be available in Week 5 against the Cardinals.

Officially done for day Becton (shoulder) won't return to Sunday's game versus the Colts, Al Iannazzone of Newsday reports.
Impact An 11th overall pick in April, Becton has impressed immediately as the team's starting left tackle. He was quickly ruled out of Sunday's game after suffering a shoulder injury, so Chuma Edoga replaced him. He'll need to make a quick recovery ahead of Thursday's matchup against the Broncos.

Suffers shoulder injury Becton (shoulder) is doubtful to return to Sunday's game against the Colts, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.
Impact Per Vacchiano, the broadcast team for Sunday's game stated that Becton won't return to the contest, so it's unlikely you'll see him again Sunday. With the rookie from Louisville out, look for Chuma Edoga to take over as the team's starting left tackle.
