Two Jets rookies have missed the first two preseason contests and remain on the mend. OL Alijah Vera-Tucker, the No. 14 overall selection in April's NFL Draft, is dealing with a pec injury, while Elijah Moore, the No. 34 overall pick, sustained a quad injury two weeks ago. Vera-Tucker might be closer to reps than the receiver was deemed more "day to day."
Saleh said: "My concern is just the lack of reps, but that goes for everybody. If Marcus Maye was missing reps, I'd be concerned for him too because of how much we value reps and execution. But the good thing about those two is, you see them in walk-through. AVT's been getting a lot of walk-through reps and Elijah Moore is over there just constantly absorbing as much information as he can. So, a lot of confidence in those two and be able to step in and, at least, know what they're doing. And there might be a little bit of rustiness with regards to timing and all that, but those are things that we feel that they'll be able to adjust to pretty quickly."
