Alijah Vera-Tucker Placed on Injured Reserve With Hamstring Injury

The New England Patriots placed starting left guard Alijah Vera-Tucker on injured reserve Thursday due to a hamstring injury, forcing him to miss a minimum of four games. Vera-Tucker had played 100 percent of offensive snaps before exiting prior to halftime last week against his former team. Having started all six games of his debut season in Foxborough, his absence sidelines him through late November, prompting roster elevations to reshuffle the line.
