Yahoo Sports NFL on Kenyon Sadiq

Receiver injuries open door for Sadiq to expand role beyond six targets in first two games.

With receivers Adonai Mitchell (finger injury, questionable), Omar Cooper Jr. (injured reserve, high ankle sprain), and Arian Smith (out for season, ACL tear) sidelined, and tight end Mason Taylor out with a thumb injury, Sadiq is positioned for increased involvement in the passing game. The Jets drafted him 16th overall and envisioned him as a breakout contributor; he has recorded five catches for 38 yards and one rushing touchdown across the first two games on just six targets. Costello notes the injuries "could open the door for rookie tight end Kenyon Sadiq to see a bigger role." Sadiq acknowledged the learning curve—"The game is definitely much faster. People are just a lot more technically sound"—but the opportunity is now available.
