Alijah Vera-Tucker Tears Achilles, Done for Remainder of Season

For the second season in a row, Jets offensive lineman Alijah Vera-Tucker has learned that he will miss the remainder of the season after tearing his achilles following a victory in Denver. The announcement was made by head coach Robert Saleh. Vera-Tucker of course tore is triceps in a win against the Broncos last season that also shelved him for duration of the year.

Earlier today we discussed the need for Joe Douglas to reach out to free agent tackle La’el Collins whether Vera-Tucker’s injury was season ending or not.
