It took a Duane Brown injury to facilitate it, but the New York Jets went bold and sent out a massively re-shuffled offensive line combination on Sunday:

To replace Brown, Becton slid from right tackle back over to his preferred left tackle spot. Vera-Tucker kicked out to right tackle, where he started his final three games in 2022. Filling in at right guard was Joe Tippmann, the Jets’ second-round pick in this year’s draft who has mostly played center but also offers the ability to play guard.
