Eagles’ rookie defensive tackle Jalen Carter has destroyed the competition through the first five weeks of the season, and Sunday’s matchup against the Jets offers another productive scenario.
According to Ian Rapoport, star offensive guard Alijah Vera-Tucker will miss the remainder of the New York Jets season with a torn Achilles suffered in the win over Denver.

Initially labeled a calf injury upon his exit, Vera-Tucker will join teammate Aaron Rodgers on injured reserve with matching injuries.
The Mile High City is a place the talented offensive guard would like to avoid, as Vera-Tucker suffered a torn biceps in the same stadium one year ago.
The Jets’ best offensive lineman, Vera-Tucker, moved from right guard to right tackle in Week 3 to help stabilize the line.
