It took them longer than expected, but the New York Jets finally have their star pass rusher on the field.
Following months of a stalemate and back and forth with contract negotiations, Haason Reddick is finally set to make his debut with the Jets.
According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, the star pass rusher is going to play without any sort of limitations.

He also adds that Davante Adams gave the team a fiery speech after their loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, calling his new teammates out for their lack of urgency.
Per Rapoport, the players responded positively with a great week of practice.
The Jets have been one of the most disappointing teams in the league this season.
They’re 2-5 and were the first team to fire their head coach, but they still have more than enough time to turn things around.
They’ll square off vs. the New England Patriots in a must-win divisional contest.
They already got the best of them earlier in the season, but it will now be Drake Maye’s time to run the show.
Even so, as improved as the offense has been with Maye taking over Jacoby Brissett, the Patriots are still a flawed team, and Reddick’s presence should be an absolute nightmare to that offensive line.
Reddick is one of the best headhunters in the game, and he might not need much time to shake off the rust.
Fortunately for the Jets, their remaining schedule isn’t that challenging on paper, and they just got a prime reinforcement for that stellar defense.
