Transcribe →Jets Injury News Raises Questions About Draft Transparency
4d ago00:24:07Tap to summarizeEvan Roberts and Tiki Barber react to the Jets revealing that first round pick Kenyon Sadiq had a minor hernia procedure, an issue Aaron Glenn said the team knew about going back to his final year of college. The concern is not necessarily the injury itself, especially with the team expecting him back for training camp, but why the news only surfaced during OTAs. Evan questions why the Jets did not get ahead of the story at the time of the draft, arguing that earlier transparency would have made the procedure feel routine instead of suspicious. The discussion turns into a larger point about how teams manage information, how fans interpret injury news, and why even minor updates can create unnecessary drama around a new regime.
