Haason Reddick is set to make his long-awaited debut for the Jets against the Patriots this Sunday after ending his seven-game holdout. The former Eagles linebacker, who rejoined the team earlier this week, quickly adapted to the Jets’ system during practices, showcasing his extensive experience. Interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich confirmed that there would be no restrictions on Reddick’s playtime, allowing them to adjust based on his performance on game day.
Reddick, now on a restructured contract, is poised to reclaim some of the fines and missed game checks he faced during his holdout. He returns at a critical time for the Jets, who have undergone significant changes since their last Patriots matchup, including the firing of head coach Robert Saleh and the acquisition of Davante Adams to bolster their offense.
This week, the Jets camp has been focused on preparation after a disappointing loss to the Steelers. The defensive lineup will also see the return of cornerbacks Michael Carter II and DJ Reed from injuries. Reddick, with an impressive 50.5 sacks over the past four years, is expected to strengthen the defense alongside Will McDonald and Quinnen Williams. His presence offers the Jets a versatile edge as they face a crucial game for their playoff aspirations.
According to Sauce Gardner, Reddick’s humble demeanor and determination are assets that will enhance the team’s pass rush and run defense, adding significant value to their game. As the Jets gear up for this must-win encounter, Reddick’s return is anticipated to be a pivotal factor in their quest for playoff contention.
