The New York Jets will be without starting left tackle Duane Brown for Sunday's game against the New England Patriots.
Brown played the entire game, but he showed up Wednesday on the practice report with a hip injury. On Friday, coach Robert Saleh said he was"very confident" that Brown, despite not practicing all week, would play. He was listed as questionable. Brown went for a hip evaluation Friday, according to Saleh.
Brown was the NFL's lowest-ranked tackle in pass-block win rate through two games, according to ESPN analytics., a career backup. Becton, a 2020 first-round pick, is a natural left tackle who was switched to right tackle in the middle of training camp. He hasn't played left tackle in a game since the 2021 opener, when he suffered his second major injury to his right knee.
"He's been practicing a certain way this entire week, so to move him at the last second would be irresponsible on our part," Saleh said. There could be gamesmanship involved, as the Jets might not want to tip their hand to the Patriots . The Jets have dropped 14 straight to their AFC East rival.
