Haason Reddick will make his 2024 season debut with the Jets on Sunday at the New England Patriots, interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich said on Friday.
“He had a good week of work with us,” Ulbrich said of the defensive end. “He’s just such an experienced guy he’s been in so many systems, to pick up ours was not super difficult for him. Did a good job with that, really put the extra time in to learn it.
