Overview
- The Jets confirmed that Sadiq underwent a minor hernia procedure and will miss several weeks of on‑field work, a development first reported publicly by Adam Schefter and carried by major outlets.
- Coach Aaron Glenn said the club knew about the hernia before the draft and that Sadiq managed the issue during his final college season and rookie minicamp.
- Sadiq will miss organized team activities and early practice reps but the Jets expect him to be recovered and able to participate when training camp opens in late July.
- Missing OTAs is a short‑term development for a high‑upside rookie whose early reps matter for learning Frank Reich’s offense and building timing with quarterback Geno Smith.
- Sadiq entered the draft as a first‑round pick because of strong 2025 production and elite athleticism, including a reported 4.39 40‑yard dash that boosted his role projection as a pass‑catching weapon.
