Overview
- Coach Aaron Glenn confirmed Thursday that rookie tight end Kenyon Sadiq underwent a minor hernia repair and will miss organized team activities for several weeks.
- Glenn said the Jets knew about the hernia before the draft and that Sadiq managed the issue during his last college season and at rookie minicamp.
- The club characterizes the procedure as minor and expects Sadiq to be cleared in time for the start of training camp in late July.
- Sadiq was the No. 16 overall pick because of his receiving upside and rare athleticism, and the team still plans to use him as a versatile pass-catching weapon.
- Missing early reps could slow his on-field development and timing with teammates, so the key things to watch are his rehab progress and how the Jets handle tight end snaps in OTAs and camp.
