Alijah Vera-Tucker, Jets Guard, Suffers Significant Injury
The New York Jets’ starting guard, Alijah Vera-Tucker, is facing a serious arm injury, according to sources close to the situation.
Vera-Tucker is seeking a second medical opinion to assess the severity of the injury, but it could require surgery, which would put his participation in the current season at risk.
Vera-Tucker, 26, was selected in the first round of the draft in 2021 and is in the final year of his contract.
The Jets were hoping to have Vera-Tucker, who was recently named team captain, to strengthen their offensive line and lead the running game this season.
