Coach Robert Saleh said Thursday that Vera-Tucker (Achilles) is trending toward returning to practice next week, Connor Hughes of SNY.tv reports.
Vera-Tucker tore his Achilles' tendon in Week 5 against the Broncos last season, so he's a little over nine months removed from the injury. The 14th overall pick of the 2021 NFL Draft, Vera-Tucker started all 16 games as a rookie but has missed 22 of 34 games to injuries over the last two seasons. He's expected to handle right guard duties for the Jets in 2024.
