Patriots' Alijah Vera-Tucker: Anticipates clearance for OTAs
Vera-Tucker (triceps) told reporters Thursday that he anticipates being fully cleared for the start of OTAs, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Vera-Tucker added that he plans on being a full participant in the Patriots' voluntary offseason program, which begins Apr. 20. The USC product signed a three-year, $42 million deal with New England on Mar. 9 after spending the first four seasons of his career with the Jets. Once Vera-Tucker returns to full health, he's expected to operate as the Patriots' top left guard during the 2026 season.

Patriots' Alijah Vera-Tucker: Signs three-year deal with Pats
Vera-Tucker (triceps) agreed to terms with the Patriots on a three-year, $42 million contract Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Vera-Tucker will turn 27 years old this summer and is coming off a lost 2025 season after he suffered a season-ending torn triceps in practice just ahead of Week 1 last September. When healthy, Vera-Tucker is a difference-making offensive lineman, but he's missed 41 of a possible 68 regular-season games to various serious injuries over the last four seasons.

Jets' Alijah Vera-Tucker: Officially on IR
Vera-Tucker (triceps) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Vera-Tucker was ruled out for the season Thursday, so this move was a formality to free up a roster spot. The Jets haven't confirmed their plans to replace Vera-Tucker at right guard, but Joe Tippmann could shift over, with Josh Myers taking Tippmann's spot at center.

Jets' Alijah Vera-Tucker: Confirmed out for season
Jets head coach Aaron Glenn announced Thursday that Vera-Tucker will miss the entire 2025 season due to a torn triceps.
According to Brian Costello of the New York Post, Vera-Tucker will undergo surgery early next week under the supervision of renowned arm specialist Dr. Neal ElAttrache. Vera-Tucker is expected to face a seven-month rehab, which should put him on track to be ready for the start of the offseason program next spring. Glenn didn't go into specifics about how the Jets plan to replace Vera-Tucker, but Joe Tippmann -- who won the starting center job coming out of the preseason -- could shift over to Vera-Tucker's spot at right guard. In that scenario, free-agent pickup Josh Myers would start at center for the Jets.

Jets' Alijah Vera-Tucker: Requires season-ending surgery
Vera-Tucker is scheduled to undergo season-ending surgery on his torn triceps in coming days, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Vera-Tucker suffered the triceps injury during practice Tuesday, and after receiving a second opinion, he determined that surgery was the best course for treatment. The 2021 first-round pick will now have missed significant time in three of his first five years in the NFL; he previously suffered a season-ending triceps tear to his opposite arm in 2022, and he missed 12 games in 2023 due to a torn Achilles. Joe Tippmann had been penciled in to start at center this season, but he could slide over to Vera-Tucker's spot at right guard for Sunday's opener versus the Steelers, which would clear the way for Josh Myers to fill in at center.
