Jets Offensive Lineman in Jeopardy of Missing Multiple Games
Alijah Vera-Tucker, a key Jets offensive lineman recently named team captain, faces a potential surgery that could sideline him for much of the 2025 season, impacting team strategy.
- On September 3, 2025, The Athletic's Dianna Russini reported New York Jets starting guard Alijah Vera-Tucker suffered a potentially serious injury just before Week 1 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
- Vera-Tucker previously suffered season-ending torn triceps in 2022 and torn Achilles in 2023, both in Denver, missing 22 games across those seasons.
- ESPN's Adam Schefter reported the New York Jets seek a second opinion on Alijah Vera-Tucker's arm injury, considering moving Joe Tippmann to guard and Josh Myers to center.
- Reports indicate Vera-Tucker could miss significant time, jeopardizing the Jets' run-heavy scheme under coach Aaron Glenn and complicating his $15.3 million base salary in the final year of his rookie contract.
- With depth across the line, the New York Jets offensive-line depth could ease Vera-Tucker's absence while Aaron Glenn and Tanner Engstrand plan a physical, run-first offense facing Aaron Rodgers and Josh Allen.
