Jets' Alijah Vera-Tucker: Officially on IR
Vera-Tucker (triceps) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Vera-Tucker was ruled out for the season Thursday, so this move was a formality to free up a roster spot. The Jets haven't confirmed their plans to replace Vera-Tucker at right guard, but Joe Tippmann could shift over, with Josh Myers taking Tippmann's spot at center.

Jets' Alijah Vera-Tucker: Confirmed out for season
Jets head coach Aaron Glenn announced Thursday that Vera-Tucker will miss the entire 2025 season due to a torn triceps.
According to Brian Costello of the New York Post, Vera-Tucker will undergo surgery early next week under the supervision of renowned arm specialist Dr. Neal ElAttrache. Vera-Tucker is expected to face a seven-month rehab, which should put him on track to be ready for the start of the offseason program next spring. Glenn didn't go into specifics about how the Jets plan to replace Vera-Tucker, but Joe Tippmann -- who won the starting center job coming out of the preseason -- could shift over to Vera-Tucker's spot at right guard. In that scenario, free-agent pickup Josh Myers would start at center for the Jets.

Jets' Alijah Vera-Tucker: Requires season-ending surgery
Vera-Tucker is scheduled to undergo season-ending surgery on his torn triceps in coming days, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Vera-Tucker suffered the triceps injury during practice Tuesday, and after receiving a second opinion, he determined that surgery was the best course for treatment. The 2021 first-round pick will now have missed significant time in three of his first five years in the NFL; he previously suffered a season-ending triceps tear to his opposite arm in 2022, and he missed 12 games in 2023 due to a torn Achilles. Joe Tippmann had been penciled in to start at center this season, but he could slide over to Vera-Tucker's spot at right guard for Sunday's opener versus the Steelers, which would clear the way for Josh Myers to fill in at center.

Jets' Alijah Vera-Tucker: Likely done for the year
Vera-Tucker is believed to have suffered a torn triceps injury that will result in his indefinite placement on IR, and likely prove season-ending, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
The starting right guard suffered the injury during a one-one-one drill at practice. Vera-Tucker also previously suffered a torn right triceps in 2022, as well as a torn Achilles in 2023, but he started 15 regular-season games last year in what was a career-best campaign. His loss is now a significant blow for the Jets. Backup guard Xavier Newman could bump into the starting lineup as a result, but New York could also opt to move one of Joe Tippmann or Josh Myers from center over to right guard for Sunday's game against the Steelers.

Jets' Alijah Vera-Tucker: Significant arm injury feared
Vera-Tucker is believed to have sustained a potentially serious injury Wednesday and may be in danger of missing time, including Sunday's regular-season opener against the Steelers, Dianna Russini of The Athletic reports.
Per Adam Schefter of ESPN, Vera-Tucker is dealing with an arm injury that may require surgery, and for which he's now seeking a second opinion. The starting right guard is coming off the best season of his career, and his loss for any amount of time would be a notable blow to quarterback Justin Fields, as well as running backs Breece Hall and Braelon Allen.

Jets' Alijah Vera-Tucker: Will play in season finale
Vera-Tucker is active for Sunday's Week 18 matchup against Miami.
Vera-Tucker has been battling an ankle injury much of the season and logged a DNP/DNP/LP progression in practice this week, but he'll be able to take the field for New York's 2024 finale. The fourth-year guard has played every one of the Jets' offensive snaps over the past seven weeks.
