Sources: Jets fear Alijah Vera-Tucker will miss season

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Just days ahead of the season opener, the New York Jets fear that starting right guard Alijah Vera-Tucker suffered a season-ending torn triceps during Tuesday's practice, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Vera-Tucker is seeking a second opinion to see if season-ending surgery is necessary, sources told Schefter. The Jets had no comment Wednesday, as they had no practice and no media availability.

This is a familiar pattern for Vera-Tucker, who has missed extended time in two of his four seasons because of injuries, including a season-ending triceps injury in 2022.
