Kenyon Sadiq - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Unlikely to have big Week 1 role Jets offensive coordinator Frank Reich said Tuesday that Sadiq (hernia) will be worked in slowly at the start of the regular season, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.

Impact Sadiq has barely practiced with the team since being selected with the 16th overall pick in the 2026 Draft. He underwent hernia surgery in the spring and then suffered a setback that has limited him to side work throughout training camp and the preseason. Mason Taylor has been a standout with the first-team offense and figures to open the season as the clear TE1 for the Jets.

Aiming to be available Week 1 Coach Aaron Gleen said Monday that the Jets are targeting Week 1 for Sadiq (hernia) to return to action, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.

Impact Sadiq underwent hernia surgery during the offseason program and then had a setback in his recovery early on at training camp. The extent of his activity in the meantime has been work on a side field, so individual and then team drills will be the next steps for the rookie first-round pick. Once Sadiq is healthy, he and 2025 second-rounder Mason Taylor will serve as the Jets' top TE duo.

Impact Sadiq has yet to return to team drills since suffering a setback in his recovery from hernia surgery in the first week of August, but he was spotted working out off to the side of practice Tuesday and looks to be progressing on some level. Glenn indicated that the Jets' main focus is ensuring that the rookie first-round pick is available to play Week 1, so Sadiq may not be rushed back for either of the team's final two preseason games without a full week of practice beforehand. Given the draft capital invested in Sadiq, the Jets eventually plan for him to serve as their clear No. 1 tight end, but he could end up sharing reps with Mason Taylor early in the season after missing out on valuable practice time during the summer.

Still working on side field Sadiq (hernia) is working on a side field at Tuesday's practice, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.

Impact Jets coach Aaron Glenn told reporters in early August that Sadiq had suffered a setback but was still on track for Week 1. The rookie tight end hasn't rejoined practice yet, making him unlikely to play this preseason, though he's at least making progress and perhaps still has a shot to be ready for Week 1. Sadiq's prolonged absence significantly increases the odds of Mason Taylor taking most of the TE snaps early in the season.

Not practicing, but doing mobility work Sadiq (hernia) isn't practicing Tuesday, but he's improved enough to jog on the sidelines while observing practice, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Jets coach Aaron Glenn said last week that Sadiq had suffered a setback in his recovery, though Glenn also added that the rookie is still expected to be ready for Week 1. Coming back from hernia surgery this spring, Sadiq has missed much of the offseason program and all of training camp, making it difficult to earn a significant Week 1 role. He nonetheless figure to contribute in some fashion this season, after the Jets drafted him 16th overall in April.

Listed behind Taylor on depth chart Sadiq (hernia) is listed as Mason Taylor's backup at tight end on the Jets' first unofficial depth chart Monday, Eric Allen of the team's official site reports.

Impact It's not at all surprising considering Sadiq has barely been able to practice with the team after undergoing hernia surgery in the spring before experiencing a setback with his recovery in the early days of training camp. Sadiq and Taylor, while both listed as tight ends, essentially play different positions also, as Taylor is expected to operate as a block-first traditional tight end while Sadiq plays detached from the line in more of a big slot role.

Impact After undergoing hernia surgery in the spring, Sadiq was cleared in advance of training camp but practiced just three days before being shut down earlier this week when he experienced a setback in his recovery. Though the missed practice time in camp and the preseason isn't ideal for a young player fighting for a starting job, Sadiq still looks on track to be ready to go for Week 1, if not the Jets' exhibition finale Aug. 28 versus the Giants. While Sadiq is sidelined for the time being, Mason Taylor will likely take most of the reps at tight end with the first-team offense.
