Haason Reddick is ready to go. The star edge rusher will make his New York Jets debut Sunday against the New England Patriots, interim coach Jeff Ulbrich announced Friday.
New York then announced that it activated Reddick on Saturday. Reddick ended his lengthy contract holdout when he reported to the team Monday and was removed from the reserve/did not report list.
He practiced all week and the Jets liked what they saw from him. "Had a good week of work with us," Ulbrich said. "He's just such an experienced guy.
He's been in so many systems, so to pick up ours wasn't super difficult for him. He really put in the extra time to learn it and, physically, he looked good out there. "So, we're excited about what he'll contribute to our rush group." Ulbrich said Reddick will not have a specific snap count limit in his first game. "He feels like he's in good shape," Ulbrich said. "And although he hasn't been doing a whole lot of football stuff in a football capacity, he's been doing a lot of position-specific stuff with pass rush specialists, and he's been doing conditioning and lifting, obviously.
