The Jets should have Kenyon Sadiq back in the lineup when they meet the Patriots on Sunday.
Sadiq, New York’s star tight end, is coming off a concussion, but the latest sign points toward him being ready to go in Week 6. “Kenyon Sadiq (concussion) should be good to go after having a full practice on Friday, source says,” NFL insider Ian Rapoport posted to X, formerly Twitter.
That’s a welcome development for a Jets team sitting at 2-3 and trying to build on its win over the Cleveland Browns. New York has not had an easy start, but Sunday gives it a chance to move back to .500 against a division opponent.
Sadiq has been a steady part of the offense this season, finishing with 14 catches for 146 yards and a touchdown reception. He has also had a quiet stretch lately, with only two receptions across his last two games played.
The rookie arrived in New York as the 16th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft after his college career at Oregon.
For the Jets, the stakes are straightforward. They dropped three straight before beating the Browns on October 11, and a victory Sunday would match last season’s win total for head coach Aaron Glenn. Glenn is in his second season and is already under pressure after winning just three games in 2025.
New York and New England kick off at 1:00 ET on Sunday. The Patriots come in at 3-2, and they may have star wideout A.J. Brown back in the mix as well.

Bart Scott Just Put Geno Smiths Biggest Jets Concern On Blast
Geno Smith has done a good job protecting the football lately, going five straight games without an interception, but the deeper issue around the Jets offense has been the punishment he has absorbed. He has taken 16 sacks over his last four games, a stretch that has put him at the top of the league in yards lost to sacks and kept the conversation centered on protection rather than production.
The concern only grows with Dylan Parham still sidelined by a knee injury after missing the Jets' last three games, leaving more uncertainty up front for an offense already dealing with pressure. Bart Scott recently pointed to the idea that Smith may have to do more with his legs if the pocket keeps collapsing, which is easier said than done given how much less dynamic that part of his game has become with age.

Jets Inactives Could Shape Aaron Glenns Biggest Spot Yet
The injury report for Sunday's Jets-Patriots matchup already has a little bit of everything in it, and for a team still trying to settle into the Aaron Glenn era, availability could matter as much as scheme. New York has ruled out four players and listed three more as questionable, though those players are expected to suit up, leaving the final game-day picture a little clearer than it first looked.
One name that stands out is Breece Hall, who has been ruled out for New York, removing one of the offense's most important playmakers from the equation. On the other side, New England enters with two players out and a much longer questionable list, and the Patriots are also expected to get several key contributors back, including A.J. Brown, Will Campbell, TreVeyon Henderson and Christian Gonzalez, which could make the margin for error even smaller for a Jets team trying to manage the attrition of Week 6. [Read more 🡒]
Patriots Suddenly Face A Romeo Doubs Question Against The Jets
New England had to deal with an early scare in Week 6 when Romeo Doubs came up with a shoulder injury in the first quarter against the Jets. He was able to walk off the field, but the path from the sideline to the medical tent and then to the locker room quickly put his status in doubt and left the Patriots waiting for more clarity.
The team has officially listed Doubs as questionable to return, though the exact nature of the injury is still unknown. For the Jets, it adds another layer to a game where every personnel change matters, especially when an opposing receiver leaves so early and forces the Patriots to reshuffle on the fly. [Read more 🡒]
