00:00The Jets dodged disaster in training camp with Justin Fields toe injury and now they're hoping
00:05for the same with one of the players who's supposed to be protecting him this season.
00:09So Adam Schefter just tweeted that Jets guard Elijah Vera Tucker suffered a significant injury
00:14in Wednesday's practice. The tweet also reads that it's an arm injury and he's getting a second
00:20opinion and Vera Tucker might now need surgery. Now when it comes to who's going to replace Vera
00:27Tucker if he's going to miss some significant time it appears that it's going to be fourth
00:32year guard Xavier Newman who's listed as the top backup at both guard spots on New York's depth
00:38chart. Newman has appeared in 20 games during his career and he started in five of those games.
00:44Again we're waiting to see how much time Elijah Vera Tucker could miss out on if this is a
00:51significant injury. We'll be sure to have more information for you guys when they're made available.
00:57for the first time.
