Reddicks holdout from Jets continues but Saleh says he still has plenty of time to play in Week

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) There's still a chance Haason Reddick could play in the season opener for the New York Jets.That is, if the star edge rusher ends his before then.Yeah, Im a suming hes in phenomenal shape, coach Robert Saleh said Tuesday. "Hes a veteran. He knows what he needs to get ready. Hes had succe s in multiple buildings and multiple schemes with multiple coaching staffs, so hes going to know what he needs to do to be ready for Week 1. So he still has plenty of time.ADVERTISEMENT But the chances dwindle by the day. Reddick, who turns 30 next month, remains locked in a dispute with the Pat Lafontaine Jersey Jets over his contract. He on Aug. 12, but general manager Joe Douglas quickly nixed that by saying to be dealt.Reddick has not spoken publicly about his holdout, which reached its 36th day Tuesday. He wasn't with the team all offseason when he forfeited a $250,000 workout bonus or training camp, with fines racking up to $1.8 million, and counting. He was on July 25, the second day of camp practice for the team.The two-time Pro Bowl selection entered the offseason looking for a new contract and was given permi sion by the Eagles to seek a trade. He was for a conditional third-round pick in 2026. The pick would become a second-rounder if Reddick plays 67.5% of the defensive snaps and gets 10 sacks this season.Reddick, who has double-digit sacks in each of the past four years, has 58 in seven NFL seasons. Saleh acknowledged he hadn't spoken to Reddick recently in an attempt to help resolve the situation.No, he said, Ive just been focusing on the guys that have been here.Meanwhile, a personal trainer of Reddick doing some drills during a workout.Did it look good? Saleh said, adding he hadn't seen it. It bet it looked good.The Jets open their season at San Francisco on Sept. 9 to face the defending NFC champion 49ers on Monday Night Football.NOTES: WR Mike Williams was expected to participate in team drills at practice Tuesday for the first time since joining the Jets in the offseason. Williams tore his ACL in Week 3 of last season while with the Chargers and has been ramping up his on-field activities with the Jets in recent weeks. ... Rookie QB Jordan Travis, a fifth-round pick out of Florida State, is likely to begin the season sidelined, Saleh said. Travis is currently on the after an ankle/leg injury ended his college career. His rehab is going to be a little bit longer than we anticipated, obviously, but hes in a great place, Saleh said. Hes in every meeting. He goes to all the walkthroughs. Hopefully, its something that we can revisit later in the year.___AP NFL: Mike Reilly Jersey
