Kenyon Sadiq Set for Expanded Role With Mason Taylor Ruled Out

New York Jets rookie tight end Kenyon Sadiq is in position for a significantly expanded offensive role Sunday against the Detroit Lions with starting tight end Mason Taylor sidelined by a thumb injury. With receiver injuries compounding, the No. 16 overall pick offers an intriguing target for quarterback Geno Smith. Sadiq has recorded five receptions for 38 yards and a rushing touchdown on six targets across his first two NFL contests.
