Patriots' Alijah Vera-Tucker: Probably won't be available Thursday
Coach Mike Vrabel said Tuesday that Vera-Tucker (hamstring) is unlikely to be available for Thursday's game at Chicago, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Vrabel did not rule Vera-Tucker out completely, but it looks like he's likely in line to sit out his first game of the 2026 season due to the hamstring injury he suffered during Sunday's game versus the Jets. Regular starting right guard Ben Brown (knee) is also looking like a bad bet to suit up in Week 7, and if both he and Vera-Tucker are sidelined, 2024 sixth-rounder Walter Rouse and veteran Matt Pryor would project as the Patriots' starting guards for Thursday.

Patriots' Alijah Vera-Tucker: Participating in offseason program
Vera-Tucker (triceps) is participating in organized team activities, Darren Hartwell and Phil Perry of NBC Sports Boston report.
Though he's not yet participating in 11-on-11 drills, Vera-Tucker has been good to go for "half-speed periods or periods with no defense," per Perry. The offensive guard missed the entire 2025 campaign with a torn triceps and has played in just 43 regular-season contests since being drafted in the first round by the Jets in 2021.

Patriots' Alijah Vera-Tucker: Remains on track for OTAs
Vera-Tucker (triceps) is expected to take part in the Patriots' upcoming OTAs, Mark Daniels of MassLive.com reports.
New England's OTAs are scheduled to begin in late May, and Vera-Tucker looks like he'll be ready to participate. The offensive guard missed all of last season due to a torn triceps and has played in only 43 regular-season contests (out of a possible 85) across his five NFL campaigns. Vera-Tucker signed a three-year contract with New England in early March and is "highly motivated" to prove himself following his injury struggles, per Daniels.

Patriots' Alijah Vera-Tucker: Anticipates clearance for OTAs
Vera-Tucker (triceps) told reporters Thursday that he anticipates being fully cleared for the start of OTAs, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Vera-Tucker added that he plans on being a full participant in the Patriots' voluntary offseason program, which begins Apr. 20. The USC product signed a three-year, $42 million deal with New England on Mar. 9 after spending the first four seasons of his career with the Jets. Once Vera-Tucker returns to full health, he's expected to operate as the Patriots' top left guard during the 2026 season.
