News

  • Heading to New Orleans

    Reid is slated to a sign a three-year, $31.5 million contract with the Saints, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Reid spent the last three seasons in Kansas City and played a pivotal role in the Chiefs' three straight Super Bowl appearances (including victories in 2022 and 2023). Across 16 regular-season games in 2024, he posted 87 tackles (61 solo) and nine pass defenses (including two interceptions), and the 2018 third-round pick has logged at least 80 combined tackles in five of seven NFL seasons. Reid and Tyrann Mathieu are expected to serve as the Saints' starting safeties for the 2025 campaign.

  • Totals 87 tackles in 2024

    Reid finished the 2024 season with 87 tackles (61 solo) and nine pass breakups, including two interceptions, across 16 regular-season games.

    Analysis: Reid didn't play in the Week 18 regular-season finale against the Broncos, as the Chiefs rested all of their key starters, so that was his only missed game of the year. Otherwise, Reid played 97 percent of the defensive snaps for Kansas City. He's yet to miss a game to injury during his three seasons with the team. Reid is wrapping up a three-year, $31.5 million contract with the Chiefs and is scheduled to be an unrestricted free agent. He turns 28 years old in February.

  • Active but unlikely to play

    Reid is active for Sunday's game against the Broncos.

    Analysis: Reid will suit up for Sunday's regular-season finale, but he's unlikely to see the field as the Chiefs are set as the No. 1 seed in the AFC. Jaden Hicks will likely see the majority of snaps at strong safety instead of Reid.

  • Likely out for Week 18

    Reid (coach's decision) is listed as doubtful ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Broncos.

    Analysis: The 27-year-old from Stanford is likely to rest with other Chiefs' starters in Sunday's divisional contest, as Kansas City has already locked up the No. 1 seed in the AFC playoffs. Reid was productive in 16 games this season, recording 87 total tackles and nine passes defended, including two interceptions. Jaden Hicks is expected to serve as the Chiefs' top strong safety if Reid doesn't suit up in Week 18.

  • Picks off pass on Christmas Day

    Reid recorded five tackles (all solo) and intercepted a pass in Wednesday's 29-10 Week 17 victory against the Steelers.

    Analysis: Reid's interception halted a Pittsburgh drive that had reached KC's 18-yard line, as he picked off a Russell Wilson throw in the end zone. It was the second interception for the veteran safety this season and his first since Week 7 versus San Francisco. Reid also has notched 87 tackles on the campaign, eight shy of the career-high 95 he finished with in the regular season last year.

  • Decent showing in Week 12

    Reid recorded six tackles (five solo) during Sunday's 30-27 win at Carolina.

    Analysis: After Sunday's performance, Reid has now logged at least six tackles in four of the Chiefs' last six contests. He has set a pace of production that could allow him to amass 100 tackles over the course of the season, and he'll be trying to keep his foot on the gas in Week 13 versus the Raiders.

  • Seven stops vs. Denver

    Reid logged seven total tackles (three solo), including one tackle for loss, in Sunday's 16-14 win over the Broncos.

    Analysis: Reid has now accumulated 50 total tackles and three passes defended, including one interception, through the Chiefs' first nine games this season. He's tied for the team lead in interceptions and ranks second in total tackles. Expect Reid to continue starting alongside Bryan Cook as part of the Chiefs' top safety duo in Week 11's matchup against the Bills.

    Reid recorded nine tackles (six solo), an interception and a pass defensed in Sunday's 28-18 win over the 49ers.

  • Racks up nine tackles Week 1

    Reid tallied nine tackles (eight solo) during Thursday's 27-20 win over the Ravens.

    Analysis: Reid played 100 percent of Kansas City's defensive snaps Week 1, finishing as the team's second-leading tackler behind Jaylen Watson. Coming off a career 2023 season, Reid will look to continue building off his momentum Week 2 versus the Bengals.

  • Taken off NFI list

    The Chiefs took Reid (quad) off the active/non-football injury list Monday, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.

    Analysis: Reid returned to practice after a quad injury landed him on the NFI list last month. Now healthy, he will look to build off the career year he had last season.

  • Dealing with quad injury

    Kansas City indicated that Reid was placed on the active/non-football injury list Sunday due to a quad issue, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.

    Analysis: Reid was a surprise addition to the NFI list, and the reason for the move is now clear. Head coach Andy Reid indicated that the safety is day-to-day, so it doesn't sound like the issue will put his status for the start of the season in jeopardy.

  • Begins camp on NFI list

    The Chiefs placed Reid (undisclosed) on the active/non-football injury list Sunday, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.

    Analysis: It's not yet clear what sort of issue Reid is dealing with, though those details may be shared following Sunday's practice. The veteran safety is eligible to be activated at any time during the preseason, at which point he'd be able to practice and play in exhibition contests.

  • Career-best stats in 2023

    Reid racked up a career-best 95 tackles (74 solo), 3.0 sacks and one interception over 16 games during the 2023 regular season.

    Analysis: Reid thrived in his second season on the back end of Kansas City's defense, posting career-best numbers for tackles and sacks despite sitting out the regular-season finale. That said, Reid graded out as the No. 122 safety on PFF. In particular, he struggled in coverage (No. 141 overall). Even so, Reid has a solid history at the safety spot and statistical numbers that likely support keeping him for the final year of his contract in 2024.

  • Two sacks in win

    Reid had eight tackles (seven solo), including two sacks, in Sunday's 25-17 win over the Bengals.

    Analysis: Reid's back-to-back sacks of Jake Browning late in the fourth quarter helped the Chiefs secure the win and their eighth straight AFC West title. Reid has registered 95 tackles (74 solo), including 3.0 sacks, one interception and a forced fumble over 16 games this season, with both his tackle and sack tallies qualifying as career highs.

  • Tackle leader in loss

    Reid made 10 total tackles (nine solo) in Sunday's 27-19 defeat to the Packers.

    Analysis: Although he briefly exited the game due to an injury, Reid still led the team in tackles and was on the field for all but two defensive snaps. The 26-year-old has not been a huge turnover threat (one INT), but he ranks second on the Chiefs' defense in both total tackles and pass deflections.

    Analysis: The 26-year-old tied L'Jarius Sneed for the most stops on Kansas City's defense Sunday, bringing Reid's season total up to 58 total tackles. He now ranks second on the Chiefs' defense in total tackles, interceptions and pass deflections through 11 games. Reid has been an integral part of the team's defense thus far, as Kansas City is allowing only 16.5 points per game, which ranks third in the NFL.

  • Leaves imprint on Broncos in Week 6

    Reid recorded five tackles (four solo), a sack and an interception Thursday in a 19-8 win against Denver.

    Analysis: Reid enjoyed a big defensive effort in the victory, tying for second on Kansas City in stops while picking up his first sack and first pickoff of the campaign. The sack came on a fourth-down play to thwart Denver's first drive of the contest, while the interception took place in the third quarter with the Broncos already in field-goal range. Reid played in all 17 games for Kansas City last year without registering a pickoff, and his career-high mark is three set back in 2018 while he was a…read more

  • Logs six tackles in loss

    Reid recorded six tackles (four solo) and two passes defensed in Thursday's 21-20 loss to the Lions.

    Analysis: Reid's two pass deflections were tied for a game high, but he was ultimately unable to bring either in for an interception. He recorded seven across 17 games in 2022, so he is off to a positive start this season. The safety will look to stay active in the secondary in Week 2 when the Chiefs take on the Jaguars.

  • Bounces back in first year with KC

    Reid tallied 83 tackles (59 solo), a sack and seven passes defended over 17 games during the 2022 regular season.

    Analysis: Reid played every game for the first time since his rookie campaign back in 2018 and produced at a reasonable rate, albeit with inconsistent weekly results in the tackles department. While not flashy, Reid has proven to be capable in coverage and a solid tackler through his first five seasons. He's under wraps with Kansas City for the next two seasons, though that could depend on how Reid performs in 2023.

  • Season-high eight stops Saturday

    Reid recorded eight tackles (five solo) in Saturday's 24-10 win over the Seahawks.

    Analysis: Reid's season-high eight stops this past weekend now gives him a respectable 74 in that department on the year. The 25-year-old is slated to continue operating in his usual every-down safety role when Kansas City hosts the Broncos on New Year's Day.

    Coach David Culley said Friday that Reid (illness) is "probably unlikely" to be available Sunday versus the Titans, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.

    Analysis: Reid returning from the COVID-19 list in time to play Week 18 hasn't been ruled out, but it looks like his chances of gaining clearance aren't great. Terrence Brooks will likely start at free safety if Reid can't go.

  • Lands on COVID list

    Reid was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday as a result of a positive test, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Reid's move to the COVID list has him in danger of missing the Texans' last game of the season. He was also banged up Sunday against the 49ers after suffering ankle and knee injuries. If Reid is unable to suit up in Week 18 against the Titans, Terrence Brooks would likely draw the start at free safety.

    Analysis: Reid suffered the concussion Week 14 against the Seahawks and sat out last week's win over the Jaguars, but he cleared the concussion protocol and will return to the field this weekend. He should reclaim the starting role at free safety now that he's healthy.

    Reid (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Jacksonville.

    Analysis: Reid was diagnosed with a concussion in Sunday's loss to the Seahawks and was unable to practice all week. He'll have to clear the league's concussion protocol prior to returning. Reid's absence will leave a significant hole in the back end of the Texans' defense, as he's racked up 53 total tackles, four passes defended and two interceptions across 11 games on the season.

    Coach David Culley said Wednesday that Reid will suit up for Sunday's game against the Colts, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Reid was inactive Week 12 for disciplinary reasons, but Culley said Wednesday, "We're moving on." The 2018 third-round pick has regularly handled more than 90 percent of defensive snaps through nine appearances this season, and it looks like he'll return to his normal starting role versus Indianapolis on Sunday.

  • Inactive for disciplinary reasons

    Reid is inactive ahead of Sunday's game against the Jets due to a disciplinary matter, Aaron Reiss of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The Texans previously made cornerback Desmond King and linebacker Zach Cunningham healthy scratches for disciplinary reasons earlier this season, and Reid now looks to have gotten on the wrong side of the coaching staff. Reid's absence may pave the way for Terrence Brooks to start at the safety spot alongside Eric Murray.

    Analysis: Reid managed his first game of the season with double-digit tackles during Sunday's blowout loss. The veteran safety has 18 tackles over his last two appearances, so he will be worth consideration in IDP formats heading into a Week 9 matchup against the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Reid suffered the knee injury in Week 2. He wasn't able to clear the injury during the quick turnaround and was inactive during Week 3. The 24-year-old safety recorded four tackles and a pick in each of the first two games of the season, and will need to play a big role if the Texans hope to slow down Josh Allen and the Bills' high-powered offense.

  • Sidelined Thursday

    Reid (knee) is listed as inactive Thursday against the Panthers.

    Analysis: Reid emerged from Week 2 with a knee injury, which didn't allow him to practice Tuesday or Wednesday. The short week may have played a part in the Texans' decision to scratch Reid, but his absence likely will allow fellow safety Lonnie Johnson to step into the starting lineup next to Eric Murray.

    Analysis: Reid began the week as a limited participant in practice, but he's now logged back-to-back absences.

  • Interception in back-to-back games

    Reid (knee) posted four solo tackles, one interception, one forced fumble and one pass deflection during Sunday's 31-21 loss to the Browns.

    Analysis: Reid has intercepted a pass in back-to-back weeks to start the season after failing to record one across 13 games last year. The 24-year-old safety picked up a minor knee injury during the contest, but he should be able to suit up for Week 3.

  • Limited to start week

    Reid (knee) was listed as a limited participant on Monday's practice estimate.

    Analysis: Reid exited Sunday's loss to the Browns early due to this injury, but it was later clarified as minor. Given that context, it wouldn't be surprising to see Reid ramp up his practice participation in the next couple days before Houston hosts the Panthers on Thursday.

  • Knee injury appears minor

    Coach David Culley said that Reid (knee) left Sunday's game for precautionary reasons, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.

    Analysis: Reid's injury doesn't appear to be that serious, but he will likely undergo further testing this week to determine the severity.

    Analysis: Reid suffered a season-ending thumb injury in Week 14 of the 2020 campaign, but he is now back to full health. The fourth-year safety is entering the final season of his rookie contract and will be relied upon as a leader of the defensive unit after an offseason that featured plenty of turnover in Houston. Reid's passes defended and interceptions have dipped each year that he has been in the league, so he'll look to change that trend in 2021.

  • Enters final year of deal

    Reid (thumb) finished 2020 with 83 tackles, two sacks and three passes defensed.

    Analysis: Reid got caught up in the malaise of Houston's 30th-ranked defense before he suffered a season-ending thumb injury Week 14. He acknowledged missed tackles and overthinking in an interview with Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle, but he turned it around Week 11 against New England. Pro Football Focus graded him 60th among safeties following a 2019 season when he graded ninth. Reid is expected to return for the final season of his four-year contract and is eligible to sign an extension.

  • Done for season

    The Texans placed Reid (thumb) on injured reserve Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Reid underwent surgery to repair a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his thumb Tuesday, causing him to miss the remainder of the 2020 season. The Stanford product had a strong 2020 campaign, racking up 83 tackles (62 solo), two sacks and three pass breakups through 13 games. While Reid will hit the recovery trail, A.J. Moore and Lonnie Johnson are the top candidates to start at strong safety, while Jonathan Owens figures to play a role as well.

  • Logs second sack

    Reid had eight tackles, a sack and two quarterback hits in Week 12's 41-25 win over the Lions.

    Analysis: Reid had gone his entire career without a sack, but the third-year safety posted sacks in each of the last two games. He also made a stop on a fourth-and-one fullback dive early in the fourth quarter. The stop on downs gave Houston the ball on the Detroit side of the field, and one play later, Deshaun Watson hooked up with Will Fuller for a 34-yard touchdown. Reid has 71 stops on the season and needs 18 more over the final five games to establish a new career high.

  • Notches first career sack

    Reid posted nine tackles (seven solo) and a sack in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Patriots.

    Analysis: Reid took down Cam Newton in the fourth quarter to record the first sack of his career. The 2018 third-round pick also posted his highest tackle count since Week 2, putting together a solid fantasy day.

  • Records six stops

    Reid made six tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 30-14 win over the Jaguars.

    Analysis: Reid has been fairly consistent this season, recording either five or six tackles in four of five games this season. The only outlier was a 10-tackle outing Week 2 against the Ravens. His stats don't jump off the page, but Reid is steady and has played nearly every defensive snap this season.

  • Double-digit tackler

    Reid recorded 10 tackles, including one for a loss, in Sunday's 33-16 loss to the Ravens in Week 2.

    Analysis: Reid was one of three members of the defense to post double-digit tackles, an indication that the Texans had trouble stopping the run. It was the second straight week Houston got run over by an opponent. Reid has 15 tackles through two games, a pace that will establish a new career high for the safety.

    Analysis: The 23-year-old underwent labrum surgery in January, and after completing his rehab process, he appears fully healthy ahead of the 2020 season. Reid will reprise his starting role at free safety for the Texans this season after racking up 78 tackles (57 solo) and two interceptions across 15 games in 2019.

  • Progressing in recovery

    Reid said his shoulder is "doing great" as he continues rehab work from labrum surgery in January, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: The 23-year-old played through the torn labrum down the stretch, but he required offseason surgery to repair the injury. It's unclear when exactly Reid is expected to be fully healthy, though there's been no indication thus far he's in danger of missing the start of training camp.

  • Gets out of sling

    Reid (shoulder) is making progress in his recovery from surgery on a torn labrum, which he underwent earlier in the offseason, Aaron Wilson of The Houston Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: Reid is no longer wearing a sling to support his shoulder. It's not yet clear whether he'll be ready to participate when the Texans' offseason program begins to gear up, however.

  • Getting shoulder surgery

    Reid played through a torn labrum in his shoulder during the latter half of the 2020 campaign and will require offseason surgery, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: Reid was removed from the Texans' Week 11 game on account of a shoulder issue, so that's likely when the injury was sustained. The second-year safety sat out in Week 12, but he barely missed a snap in the final five regular-season contests and played every down in the postseason. There's no definitive timeline for Reid's return to full activity, but the surgery shouldn't affect his status for the start of the 2020 season.

  • Clears concussion protocol

    Reid, who missed Thursday's win over the Colts, returned to practice Monday and has cleared the league's concussion protocol, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: Reid is expected to avoid a multi-game absence, as the Texans' starting strong safety is now on track to be available for an upcoming Sunday night matchup against the Patriots. Reid has already surpassed the 50-tackle mark this season, but he's recorded just two passes defensed and one interception through 10 contests.

  • Officially out vs. Colts

    Reid (concussion/shoulder) is ruled out for Thursday's game against the Colts.

    Analysis: Reid suffered both a concussion and a shoulder injury during this past Sunday's loss to the Ravens, and he was unable to recover from the injuries on a short week. Mike Adams (concussion) is also out, so Tashaun Gipson (back) -- who is questionable -- will start at safety if he's active with either A.J. Moore or Jahleel Addae lining up on the opposite side.

  • Unlikely to play Thursday

    Reid (concussion) likely will miss Thursday night's contest against the Colts, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: Faced with a short week, Reid was always going to be challenged in his quest to pass league protocol before Thursday. At this point, it seems unlikely he'll take the field for what figures to be a high stakes divisional matchup. A.J. Moore figures to get the start in Reid's spot.

    Reid was diagnosed with a concussion after leaving Sunday's game against the Ravens, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: Reid was ruled out of Sunday's contest with a shoulder injury, but it appears he is dealing with a head injury as well. He will need to clear the league's concussion protocol in order to take the field in Week 12.

  • Picks off Minshew's pass

    Reid recorded two solo tackles and an interception in Sunday's 26-3 win over the Jaguars.

    Analysis: The Texans had a well-cushioned lead in the fourth quarter, and Reid intercepted Gardner Minshew's pass to solidify the win and help push the team to 6-3. This was Reid's first pick of the season, and he hopes to tack a few more on after marking three in his rookie 2018 season. However, his IDP value has struggled to find consistency, as he failed to exceed two tackles in three of the last four contests.
