Alijah Vera-Tucker
OG - New York Jets
Week 13 Outlook
Availability
Alijah Vera-Tucker has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Texans.
Fantasy Impact
Vera-Tucker was unable to practice all week. The Jets offensive line will be a little short-handed.
Alijah Vera-Tucker did not participate in team drills at the end of practice on Saturday because he hit his rep count.
Fantasy Impact
Vera-Tucker said he is still encouraged by recovery. He'll continue to be eased back to full strength throughout training camp.
The Jets expect OL Alijah Vera-Tucker to be ready for training camp.
Fantasy Impact
Vera-Tucker has been sidelined due to an Achilles injury.
According to the New York Post’s Brian Costello, OL Alijah Vera-Tucker will miss the rest of his sophomore season with a triceps injury.
Fantasy Impact
Big blow for the New York Jets losing both Vera-Tucker and RB Breece Hall in the same week. The former first-rounder had started all seven games for the Jets, and now the Jets will be without Vera-Tucker and OL Mekhi Becton, Max Mitchell and George Fant. The Jets are still 5-2, but the injuries to the young talent, especially on the offensive line, make it harder down the stretch, especially for a still-developing QB in Zach Wilson.
14th overall pick, OG Alijah Vera-Tucker, signs his rookie contract with the New York Jets.
Fantasy Impact
The Jets traded up to draft Vera-Tucker, marking the second straight year the team has drafted an offensive lineman in the first round. He will slot into the LG position beside last year's first-round pick, LT Mekhi Becton. Vera-Tucker is a powerful lineman with light feet who matches perfectly in the Jets new Shanahan-inspired blocking scheme. The Jets offensive line will be significantly improved this season with the additions of Vera-Tucker and RT Morgan Moses.
