2023 Fantasy Outlook
Vera-Tucker showed off his versatility prior to a season-ending torn triceps in 2022, performing at a high level after shifting from guard to tackle on the Jets' injury-riddled offensive line. The 2021 first-round pick is projected to start at right guard in 2023. Read Past Outlooks
Moved to IR
The Jets placed Vera-Tucker (Achilles) on injured reserve Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Vera-Tucker will go on IR for the remainder of the season after he suffered an Achilles tear Sunday versus Denver. This marks the 24-year-old's second season-ending injury in as many seasons, and he will now turn his attention to recovering ahead of the 2024 campaign. With Vera-Tucker done for the year, expect rookie second-rounder Joe Tippmann to move up as the Jets' starting right guard.
