The New York Jets are reeling following news of a significant injury to Alijah Vera-Tucker . New York’s starting right guard could be out for the season after suffering a torn triceps. The brutal news comes just days before the 2025 regular season kicks off.

Despite the devastating blow, the Jets received a positive update on star defensive back Sauce Gardner . In the team’s first official injury report, the All-Pro corner was listed as limited with a fibula injury, per NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo. However, he’s expected to play in the season opener on Sunday.

The Jets did not practice on Wednesday but the projected injury report indicates Gardner is still dealing with a lingering calf ailment. He missed time with the injury during the preseason.
