📈 Jayden Higgins to take the next step in Houston ✈️ Jets expect Kenyon Sadiq to be a huge weapon Latest from NFL Train Via @PFF on X

What happened: Jayden Higgins enters his second NFL season with a larger workload in view in Houston. Kenyon Sadiq begins his first training camp after an expected late-July return.

Why it matters: The New York Jets used the No. 16 pick on Sadiq, making his integration a roster priority. Higgins' camp work will help determine how much responsibility he carries when the 2026 season opens.

By the numbers: Sadiq ran the 40-yard dash in 4.39 seconds at the 2026 NFL combine.

What to watch: Preseason usage will clarify Higgins' workload and how broadly the Jets deploy Sadiq.
