FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — The New York Jets suddenly have a big question mark on their offensive line — before they've even played a game.
Coach Aaron Glenn announced Thursday that right guard Alijah Vera-Tucker has a torn triceps and will miss the entire season.
Glenn said Vera-Tucker is facing a seven-month rehabilitation from the injury, which occurred during practice Tuesday and will require surgery.
“He was a big player for us, man,” Glenn said, "but we’ve got to continue to keep rolling.”
The offensive lineman is expected to soon be placed on injured reserve , but he was listed Wednesday and Thursday on the Jets' injury reports as not participating in practice with a triceps issue. The same injury cut short Vera-Tucker's second NFL season in 2022.
