Overview
- Head coach Aaron Glenn said Tuesday that exams revealed a setback in Sadiq’s recovery from offseason sports hernia surgery and that the rookie will be out “a little bit,” with no firm timeline given.
- Sadiq practiced the first three days of training camp on a maintenance plan but missed practice on Monday and Tuesday as the team shut him down after the exam findings.
- Glenn stressed a cautious, medically driven approach and said he is very confident Sadiq will be available for the Week 1 game in Tennessee on Sept. 13.
- The Jets expect Sadiq to miss most or all of the preseason, a loss of practice reps that will slow his on‑field development and chemistry with quarterback Geno Smith.
- Sadiq was the No. 16 pick from Oregon and a top pass‑catching prospect, and his absence creates short‑term opportunities for Mason Taylor, Jeremy Ruckert and Jelani Woods to earn expanded roles in the offense.
