New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh remains optimistic about the possibility of holdout Haason Reddick participating in the season opener despite his absence from practices and meetings. Reddick, who has been holding out for a new contract, has not attended any offseason activities and is incurring significant fines. With the season opener against the San Francisco 49ers approaching, Saleh believes Reddick, a seasoned veteran, could still be ready if he maintains his physical condition.

• Haason Reddick's holdout has reached 36 days, resulting in $1.8 million in fines.
• Reddick is seeking a new contract to align with the top edge rushers in the league.
• Despite his absence, Saleh believes Reddick could still be ready for Week 1.
