Vera-Tucker suffered an arm injury that could sideline him for an extended period, leaving the Jets’ interior line in flux just four days from Week 1 against Pittsburgh. Depth options Xavier Newman and Joe Tippmann are immediate factors, with shifting roles possible as New York fiddles its RG and C slots.

In the short term, New York may move Tippmann to guard and plug Myers at center, while Newman steps into RG if no surgery derails the timeline. Fantasy managers should monitor practice notes and potential lineup changes closely as updates emerge.

Overall, the Jets’ run and pass protection could hinge on depth stepping up quickly, with interior chemistry and run-blocking next-up tests shaping Week 1 projections and early-season fantasy values.
