On Friday night, the Jets suffered every team’s worst fear: An injury to their starting quarterback in a preseason game. As the sports world collectively played armchair doctor, a torn ACL was the most common prediction. The thought was understandable to some degree, based on how the injury looked on live television. Thankfully for the Jets and their fans however, the official prognosis is far far better. Zach Wilson has a bone bruise and a torn meniscus, meaning he will be back in action relatively soon.

It has happened. The moment that every Jets fan has feared since the 2022 offseason began. Mekhi Becton has suffered a serious knee injury, according to Rich Cimini of ESPN. Becton went down at practice on Sunday, the morning after the Jets’ Green and White Scrimmage. Early reports suggested the team was optimistic regarding the injury, but the optimism didn’t last long. According to Pro Football Network’s Aaron Wilson, there is “chip sized fracture” in Becton’s previously injured knee. After being selected eleventh overall in the 2020 NFL Draft, Mekhi Becton has been the subject of endless scrutiny.

The final tally totals zero Jets on the PFF Top 50, which is shocking to no one. The Jets have been in the early stages of their rebuild for the past couple of seasons, and their roster is very inexperienced. However, while the Jets are hardly alone in their lack of elite players, they may be on track to have a few soon. So who can we expect to be on PFF’s list, and when can we expect them to make the leap? The Haves and Have-Nots PFF annually puts out their list of the top 50 players, and this…
