For the second straight season Jets standout lineman Alijah Vera-Tucker has suffered a season-ending injury—both on the same field. The likelihood of such a scenario becomes even more bizarre when factoring in not only was it not his home field, but it was also was against a non-divisional opponent.
On Saturday, Vera-Tucker shared an emotional message thanking fans for their support on his Instagram page.
“This one hurts to post not gonna lie to y’all. Over the past week I have received lots of support from family, friends, teammates, staff and fans! I can’t thank y’all enough! My season ending early this year is something I would have never thought would happen. I know there is a plan for me, I just have to be patient. It pains me I can’t be on that field with the homies knowing how much work we have all put in as a team and individually. Ima always keep fighting no matter how hard it gets. Thank you for the luv!,” Vera-Tucker posted.
