The Jets have already been bitten by the injury bug during training camp, and the loss is big. T Mehki Becton suffered a chip fracture in his right kneecap during training camp and coach Robert Saleh said this week the right tackle is likely done for the season.
Eagles coach Nick Sirianni said the starters will play at least 1 or 2 series, although C Jason Kelce (elbow surgery) had his elbow cleaned out Tuesday and he will be out indefinitely.
Philly is also dealing with other position player injuries including RB Kenneth Gainwell (hip), RB Boston Scott (concussion) and WR DeVonta Smith (groin).
