2026 NFL OROY Odds: Carnell Tate Favored; KC Concepcion Skyrockets

One catch in Week 7 loss Sadiq caught his lone target for six yards in Sunday's 28-25 loss to the Dolphins.

Impact With Mason Taylor dominating the targets at tight end for the Jets, Sadiq continues to fade into the background for an offense that is unable to support more than a couple pass catchers in the box score each week. Sadiq has just four catches for 21 yards over the last three weeks with Taylor back in the lineup.

Another quiet game in Week 6 loss Sadiq caught one of three targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 26-19 loss to the Patriots.

Impact Sadiq was able to clear concussion protocol during the week, but the rookie tight end has been playing through minor injuries all season. Since catching seven passes for 105 yards in Week 3 against the Lions, Sadiq has just three catches for 15 yards on 10 targets over the last three contests. He's become waiver-wire fodder in redraft leagues.

Suiting up in Week 6 Sadiq (concussion) is active for Sunday's game against the Patriots.

Impact Sadiq took a questionable tag into the weekend, but after putting in a full practice Friday, he seemingly passed the final step of concussion protocol by gaining clearance from an independent neurologist Saturday. The rookie tight end isn't expected to face any major restrictions with his snap count during the Week 6 contest.

Slated to suit up in Week 6 Sadiq (concussion) is in line to be available for Sunday's game at New England, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact Sadiq entered the concussion protocol during last Sunday's win against the Browns, and after opening Week 6 prep with back-to-back limited sessions, he capped it Friday with a full practice and a questionable designation. Such a progression suggested he only required clearance from an independent neurologist to be available this Sunday, something that'll be confirmed about 90 minutes before a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Listed as questionable after FP Sadiq (concussion) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots after logging a full practice Friday.

Impact Sadiq is progressing through the concussion protocol and likely just needs clearance from a neurologist. The Jets listed him as a limited participant Wednesday and Thursday before upgrading to full on Friday. Kickoff is scheduled for 1:00 p.m. ET in Foxborough.

The New York Jets will activate rookie wide receiver Omar Cooper Jr. from the injured reserve list and give a boost to a banged-up offense against New England on Sunday

Could play Sunday Sadiq (concussion) is trending toward playing in Sunday's game against the Patriots, according to Around The NFL.

Impact After limited practices Wednesday and Thursday, Sadiq is upgrading to full participation Friday. If he clears the concussion protocol, he would be in line to resume his role in the Jets' tight end rotation Sunday against New England.

Limited again Thursday Sadiq (concussion) remained limited at Thursday's practice.

Impact Sadiq remains in the NFL's five-step concussion protocol after being confirmed to have suffered a concussion during this past Sunday's win over the Browns. He will need to register a full practice in order to clear the protocol and has one chance remaining to do so Friday ahead of Sunday's game against the Patriots. Mason Taylor, Jeremy Ruckert, Jelani Woods and Andrew Beck are the Jets' healthy TE options.

OCTOBER 15 • ROTOWIRE

Manages limited practice Sadiq (concussion) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.

Impact Per Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic, head coach Aaron Glenn said prior to practice that Sadiq remains in the five-step concussion protocol, but the rookie tight end apparently made enough progress to get in some on-field work during the Jets' first Week 6 session. Sadiq will still need to upgrade to full practice participation by Friday in addition to receiving the green light to play from an independent neurologist in order to clear the protocol prior to Sunday's game against the Patriots. Mason Taylor would be in line to serve as the Jets' top pass-catching option at tight end if Sadiq can't gain clearance.

OCTOBER 14 • ROTOWIRE

Stuck in concussion protocol Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said that Sadiq remains in concussion protocol and won't practice Wednesday, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.

Impact Sadiq was unable to return to Sunday's 17-12 win over the Browns after exiting in the third quarter and getting diagnosed with a concussion.

Concussion confirmed Sadiq won't return to Sunday's game versus the Browns due to a concussion.

Impact Prior to having a concussion check in Week 5, Sadiq had two catches (on three targets) for three yards and lost a fumble. Mason Taylor should serve as the Jets' primary tight end for the rest of Sunday's contest, though Jeremy Ruckert may be more involved in the passing game;.

OCTOBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

Exits Sunday for concussion check Sadiq is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Browns after exiting in the third quarter to be evaluated for a head injury.

Impact The Jets will presumably put Sadiq through concussion tests before determining whether he's fit to return to the game. Prior to exiting the contest, Sadiq recorded two catches for three yards on three targets and also lost a fumble.

Held catchless by Bears Sadiq (back) didn't catch any of his four targets in Sunday's 23-12 loss to the Bears.

Impact Sadiq played through a questionable tag and tied Garrett Wilson for the team lead in targets, but the rookie first-round pick failed to record a catch as Geno Smith completed only eight passes. The Jets' banged-up offense will try to bounce back when they return home for Week 5 against the Browns. Sadiq had 105 receiving yards and a touchdown in Week 3 against the Lions but has recorded only 38 receiving yards across the other three outings of his young NFL career.

Active for Week 4 Sadiq (back) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Bears.

Impact A back injury led to Sadiq being limited at practice from Wednesday through Friday, but it will not prevent him from suiting up for Week 4. It's unclear how close Sadiq is to 100 percent, but he is coming off a game in which he racked up seven receptions, 105 yards and a score on eight targets, and he could be busy again with fellow pass catchers Adonai Mitchell (finger), Mason Taylor (thumb) and Omar Cooper (ankle) all unavailable Sunday.
