Optimism for Week 1 status Coach Aaron Glenn noted Tuesday that he's "very confident" Sadiq (abdomen) will be ready for Week 1 action, Al Iannazzone of Newsday reports.

Impact Though the tight end suffered a setback in his recovery from the hernia surgery he underwent in the spring and will miss some time, it doesn't look like his absence will extend into the regular season. While the 2026 first-rounder is unable to practice, added TE reps behind Mason Taylor will be available for Jeremy Ruckert, Jelani Woods and Chase Curtis.

Impact Sadiq was missing from a second straight practice Tuesday, but Glenn said prior to the session that the rookie first-round pick was on a "maintenance program" for his surgery, per Rich Cimini of ESPN.com. However, Glenn acknowledged after practice that Sadiq's consecutive absences weren't simply for rest purposes, and the 21-year-old now looks like he'll be out for the start of the preseason after not bouncing back from his hernia surgery as well as the Jets had hoped. According to Rosenblatt, Glenn added that he's not worried about a long-term absence for Sadiq and is "very confident" that the young tight end will be ready for Week 1. In any event, the missed practice time during training camp is likely to hurt Sadiq's chances of carving out a major role on offense once the season gets underway. Mason Taylor should receive most of the reps at tight end with the first-team offense while Sadiq is sidelined.

Setting Fair Expectations for Kenyon Sadiq's Rookie Season With the Jets Kenyon Sadiq has all the potential in the world. but that doesn't mean that the Jets should expect too much, too soon.

JULY 5 • SI.COM

Expected to be ready for camp Sadiq (abdomen) is expected to be ready for training camp, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Sadiq missed OTAs and minicamp due to hernia surgery, which stemmed from a college injury that the Jets said they were aware of when they drafted Sadiq with the 16th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Sadiq will have to play catch-up once healthy, but offensive coordinator Frank Reich has a plan for getting the athletic tight end up to speed. Reich views Sadiq as a mismatch for defenders due to the rookie's mix of speed (4.39-second 40-yard dash) and size (6-foot-3, 241 pounds).
