New York Jets fans are still reeling from the disappointing news that rookie tight end Kenyon Sadiq recently suffered a setback when recovering from offseason hernia surgery. Sadiq is now being sidelined at training camp for the foreseeable future. He'll probably miss a large chunk (if not all) of the preseason, too.
Jets head coach Aaron Glenn did provide one positive update in regards to Sadiq's status. The 16th overall selection in the 2026 NFL draft is expected to be healthy for Week 1 of the regular season. It's looking like the Jets will have Sadiq available when they travel to Nashville for the opener with the Tennessee Titans.
The season opener versus the Titans carries more importance than your typical Week 1 game. It's a revenge-game
opportunity for players and coaches on both sidelines. The Jets will be facing their former head coach Robert Saleh for the first time. Jets defenders T'Vondre Sweat and Jarvis Brownlee Jr. will also be anxious to defeat their ex team.
The Jets are also excited to debut their new-look offense. Sadiq is among the offseason acquisitions expected to play a major role in Frank Reich's offense, joining the likes of Geno Smith, Dylan Parham, and Omar Cooper Jr. Having Sadiq available against the Titans would be a big boost considering the latest injury news.
AG says he’s still very confident Sadiq will be ready for Week 1.#Jets https://t.co/SfbnH8NbNH
