New York Jets rookie tight end Kenyon Sadiq is expected to miss some time after experiencing a setback in his recovery from offseason hernia surgery, according to multiple reports. Jets head coach Aaron Glenn says Sadiq’s recovery has encountered “setback” and that the rookie is out “a little bit,” indicating a short-term delay rather than a long absence. Glenn also states he expects Sadiq to return for the team’s Week 1 timeline.
Sadiq, the Jets’ No. 16 overall pick in April out of Oregon, originally suffered the injury while in college. After deciding on surgery during the offseason, the team placed him on a “maintenance program” as he continued rehabilitation through early training camp. Reports note Sadiq practiced during the first three days of camp but did not participate in the next two days, leading to his current sidelined status. The team’s handling of his recovery suggests a cautious approach while he works through the setback.
