Jets Rookie Tight End Kenyon Sadiq Has a Setback in Return From Hernia Surgery, Out ‘a Little Bit’
Aaron Glenn said the first-round pick will miss time after a setback in his recovery, though the Jets expect him back for the regular season.
- New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn revealed that rookie tight end Kenyon Sadiq suffered a "little setback" in his recovery from offseason hernia surgery on Tuesday, sidelining him indefinitely.
- The injury is related to the surgery Sadiq underwent, which forced him to miss spring workouts; Glenn explained the tight end was on a "maintenance program" before the setback arose.
- Drafted 16th overall, the 6-foot-3, 241-pound Sadiq was expected to feature prominently in Frank Reich's offense and set an Oregon record last season with 51 receptions while playing through the initial hernia.
- With Sadiq sidelined, the Jets will rely on increased repetitions for tight ends Jeremy Ruckert, Jelani Woods, and Mason Taylor during training camp in Florham Park.
- Glenn remains "very confident" Sadiq will return for the regular-season opener against the Tennessee Titans on Sept. 13, prioritizing his long-term health over immediate preseason participation.
