Cornerback Greg Newsome II has already had surgery on an injured hamstring, and tackle Dalvin Tomlinson is scheduled to undergo an arthroscopic knee procedure on Friday.

• New York Jets defensive end Haason Reddick is officially a training camp holdout.

The Jets placed Reddick on the reserve/did not report list. Reddick, acquired from Philadelphia in the offseason, has been absent while he seeks a new contract. The edge rusher is scheduled to make $14.25 million in base salary in the final year of his deal. None of his salary is guaranteed, and he forfeited a $250,000 workout bonus for not attending the Jets’ offseason workouts.

• Jermaine Eluemunor didn’t practice Thursday after a collision with New York Giants teammate Dexter Lawrence in the team’s first 11-on-11 practice , but the veteran lineman is OK, according to head coach Brian Daboll.

“Nothing serious,” Daboll said. “It’s two men kind of colliding there accidentally.”

Konecny, 27, set career highs with 33 goals and 68 points last season.
