Jets Rookie Kenyon Sadiq Has Hernia Repair and Is Expected Back for Training Camp

The team says the minor operation was planned after rookie minicamp to preserve his availability for late‑July camp.

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.
