Jets tight end Kenyon Sadiq underwent hernia surgery this week and should return for training camp. While his recovery timeline remains unclear, Garrett Wilson used the Knicks' NBA Finals appearance as motivation during Thursday's practice session.

Wilson praised New York's basketball team, saying their playoff success shows what's possible for long-suffering franchises. The Jets haven't reached the Super Bowl since 1969, while the Knicks ended a 25-year Finals drought. DraftKings lists the Jets at +10000 to win the AFC, with only Miami facing worse odds.

Coach Aaron Glenn called the Knicks a 'gritty' team, crediting Jalen Brunson's leadership for their deep playoff run. Glenn wore a shirt reading 'Grit' while discussing the basketball team's relentless style of play.

Wilson acknowledged he won't attend the Finals due to ticket costs but will watch on television. The cross-town inspiration reflects how New York sports fans desperately want championship success from both teams.
