There’s now more clarity on the arm injury suffered by Jets right guard Alijah Vera-Tucker.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, New York fears Vera-Tucker has suffered a season-ending torn triceps muscle.
Vera-Tucker is seeking a second opinion to confirm the injury and consult on a potential surgery.
Vera-Tucker previously suffered a torn triceps muscle in 2022, but that was to the opposite arm.
A first-round pick in 2021, Vera-Tucker missed 22 games over the 2022 and 2023 seasons due to injury. But he started 15 games for the club last season. He is set to become a free agent after 2025, with his rookie deal expiring after the fifth-year option.
Vera-Tucker had been voted a captain for 2025.
