New York Jets right tackle Alijah Vera-Tucker will miss time with a calf injury, NFL Network reported Monday.
Vera-Tucker, 24, was injured during Sunday’s 31-21 win against the Denver Broncos and is scheduled for an MRI.
The Jets are optimistic that their 2021 first-round pick injured his calf and not his Achilles, per the report.
Vera-Tucker has started all 28 of his games with New York, including the first five contests this season.
His backup on the depth chart, Max Mitchell, could start Sunday when the Jets (2-3) host the Philadelphia Eagles (5-0).
