Alijah Vera-Tucker's season-ending triceps injury tests the Jets' interior O-line, turning last season's strength into a pressure point. With internal options in play, New York eyes a shuffle that could keep their best five on the field as the run game and pass protection face real input from a reshuffled lineup.

The plan centers on a Tippmann-Myers swap: Myers at center, Tippmann at right guard, with Xavier Newman ready to step in if needed. The camp competition between Tippmann and Myers now looks like a practical blueprint for surviving the loss, transforming an offseason curiosity into a winning adjustment.

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.

Breece Hall, the New York Jets' running back, is showing promise to return for the game against Jacksonville after recovering from a knee injury that kept him out last week. Hall participated fully in practice on Friday and is officially listed as questionable.

Hall leads the Jets in rushing yards and touchdowns, while rookies Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis stepped up in his absence. The Jets are also set to welcome back star cornerback Sauce Gardner, but may be without D.J. Reed due to a groin injury.

Additionally, kick returner Kene Nwangwu will be placed on injured reserve after a hand injury, cutting short what has been a promising start to his season.

The Miami Dolphins are optimistic heading into Week 14, with cornerback Kendall Fuller cleared from concussion protocol and ready to face the New York Jets. Tackle Kendall Lamm is also set to play after recovering from an elbow injury.

However, the Dolphins have seven players listed as questionable, including linebackers Bradley Chubb and Cameron Goode. The Jets, on the other hand, will be without linebacker C.J. Mosley due to a neck injury, while key players Sauce Gardner and Breece Hall are doubtful.

Breece Hall, the New York Jets' standout running back, appears set to play against the Seattle Seahawks after recovering from a sore knee. He practiced fully on Friday and expressed confidence in his readiness for the game.

Meanwhile, linebacker C.J. Mosley is still dealing with a herniated disk and may not return this week. Additionally, left tackle Tyron Smith continues to struggle with a neck issue, and safety Chuck Clark has joined the injury report with a shin injury.
