Alijah Vera-Tucker should be preparing to play the Bengals, but instead, he is preparing himself for next year.
The Jets guard was in the locker room on Friday, returning to the team nearly two months after tearing his left triceps during a practice before Week 1.
The injury cost Vera-Tucker the season and possibly ended his Jets career.
This was the third season-ending injury that Vera-Tucker suffered in the last four years.Â
