New York Jets tight end Mason Taylor suffered a thumb injury during Week 2 and is expected to miss Week 3 against the Detroit Lions. This situation opens an opportunity for rookie tight end Kenyon Sadiq, who has already made five receptions this season. Taylor leads Jets tight ends in snaps, and Sadiq has been effective on limited opportunities. Offensive coordinator Frank Reich may look to feature Sadiq more in the upcoming game, particularly as the Lions' defense has struggled this season.
