When the Jets kick off their 2025 season this Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers, they’ll be doing so without right guard Alijah Vera-Tucker. Vera-Tucker suffered a torn triceps in practice yesterday and could end up missing the season.
With Vera-Tucker out, this changes the makeup of the Jets offensive line and vaults backup center Josh Myers from backup, to a player who should be viewed as critical to Gang Green’s success. Here’s a look at Myers and a few other key players we expect to suit up on Sunday.
C Josh Myers vs NT/DT Keeanu Benton:
Benton is a powerful, explosive defender up front who will line up directly over the center and plug the a-gaps.
