Returning to Detroit
The Lions re-signed Reynolds to a one-year contract Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Analysis: Reynolds wasn't tendered by the Lions as a restricted free agent, and he's instead returning to the team at a reduced rate. The 28-year-old appeared in all 17 regular-season games for Detroit last season, rushing 31 times for 139 scoreless yards (4.5 YPC), while adding three catches for 40 yards on five targets in the passing game. He played a career-high 272 special-teams snaps. Reynolds will continue to provide quality depth behind Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery.

Limited action in 2024
Reynolds finished the 2024 regular season with 31 carries for 139 yards while also catching three of five targets for 40 yards and logging 28 yards as a kick returner over 17 games.
Analysis: Reynolds opened the season as the No. 3 option at running back behind David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs, logging just 12 carries for 51 yards over the team's first 14 games. When Montgomery suffered a knee injury in Week 15 against the Bills, which ended his regular season, Reynolds was thrust into the No. 2 spot behind Gibbs. Over the final three regular-season contests, Reynolds had 19 carries for 88 yards while adding his three receptions for 40 yards. The running back will enter the…read more

Eight carries in blowout win
Reynolds rushed the ball eight times for 39 yards while failing to reel in either of his targets in Sunday night's 31-9 win over the Vikings.
Analysis: Reynolds continued in his role as the top backup at running back behind Jahmyr Gibbs in Week 18, turning eight carries into a season-high 39 yards on the ground. With the victory, the Lions secured a bye week to open the postseason, and it's possible that David Montgomery (knee) will be able to return to action in two weeks when Detroit plays in the NFC divisional round, which would push Reynolds back to No. 3 on the depth chart.

Active in Week 18
Reynolds (back) is active for Sunday's game versus the Vikings.
Analysis: The Lions tacked on Reynolds to their injury report Friday as a non-participant due to a back issue, leaving him questionable for Week 18 action. Now that he's confirmed to be suiting up Sunday, it's unclear if he'll retain his No. 2 role out of the backfield behind Jahmyr Gibbs or merely be available in an emergency capacity. In the last two contests with David Montgomery (knee) sidelined, Reynolds turned 11 carries into 49 yards and hauled in all three targets for 40 yards. Sione Vaki is the…read more

Questionable due to back injury
Reynolds (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Vikings, Justin Rogers of Detroit Football Network reports.
Analysis: Reynolds appears to have suffered the injury at some point during the week, as he popped up on the injury report Friday as a non-participant in practice. With David Montgomery (knee) sidelined, Jermar Jefferson will likely be elevated from the practice squad to serve as Jahmyr Gibbs' primary backup if Reynolds is unable to suit up for the regular-season finale, while Sione Vaki's also an option for backfield snaps.

Nine touches in victory
Reynolds rushed the ball seven times for 31 yards while catching both of his targets for 35 yards in Monday night's 40-34 win over the 49ers.
Analysis: Reynolds once again was operating as the team's No. 2 running back behind Jahmyr Gibbs in Week 17, making the most of his limited opportunities. Most notably, Reynolds reeled in a 26-yard catch in the first quarter, which set up the Lions inside the 10-yard line. The running back has now turned 11 carries into 49 yards while reeling in all three of his targets for 40 yards over the last two games with David Montgomery (knee) unavailable.

Limited opportunities in Week 16
Reynolds rushed the ball four times for 18 yards and caught his only target for five yards in Sunday's 34-17 win over the Bears.
Analysis: Reynolds was expected to take a step up and operate as Detroit's No. 2 running back behind Jahmyr Gibbs in Week 16, but it didn't lead to a heavy workload. Over 15 games in 2024, Reynolds has now turned 16 carries into 69 yards, while the reception Sunday was his first of the year. He'll look to be more involved in the Lions' next contest against the 49ers on Monday Night Football on Dec. 30.

In line for more carries
With David Montgomery (knee) out multiple weeks, Reynolds is expected to see an expanded role on offense Sunday against the Bears, Jared Ramsey of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Analysis: As Ramsey notes, Reynolds played behind Jahmyr Gibbs in a game against the Raiders last season when Montgomery was sidelined and rushed 14 times for 74 yards. Montgomery and Gibbs have stayed relatively healthy this season prior to Montgomery's MCL injury last week versus Buffalo, and Reynolds has mainly been glued to special teams while handling garbage-time carries on offense. Reynolds has compiled a 12-51-0 rushing line on 39 offensive snaps all year. While Gibbs should be a candidate for…read more

Logs two carries in blowout victory
Reynolds rushed the ball twice for 21 yards in Sunday's 52-6 win over the Jaguars.
Analysis: Reynolds entered the game in the fourth quarter with the game well in hand for Detroit, toting the rock for the first time since Week 8. The running back remains a far-off No. 3 option behind David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs, possessing little-to-no fantasy value.

Three carries in win
Reynolds rushed the ball three times for three yards in Sunday's 52-14 win over the Titans.
Analysis: Reynolds remained a non-factor on offense in Week 8, even in a blowout. The running back has found touches hard to come by in the backfield this season, operating as a distant third option behind David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs. Through seven games in 2024, Reynolds has turned nine carries into 24 yards.

Added work in blowout win
Reynolds rushed the ball six times for 21 yards in Sunday's 47-9 win over the Cowboys.
Analysis: Reynolds saw some garbage-time work with the game well in hand for Detroit in the fourth quarter, logging his first offensive touches of the year. The 28-year-old remains a distant third option at running back behind David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs while keeping a slight edge over rookie Sione Vaki for that No. 3 spot.

Fails to log offensive snap
Reynolds did not log a snap on offense in Sunday's 26-20 overtime win over the Rams.
Analysis: Reynolds is buried behind David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs on the running back depth chart and was limited to 18 special-teams snaps in Week 1. Rookie Sione Vaki was able to garner two snaps with the offense, but it's unclear whether Reynolds or Vaki can be considered Detroit's No. 3 running back at this moment. Barring an injury ahead of them, neither will hold much fantasy value.

Cleared from injury report
Reynolds (leg) was not listed on the Lions' estimated injury report Wednesday.
Analysis: Reynolds' absence from the report is good news for the Kutztown product. Although it is worth noting that Detroit did not hold a practice Wednesday, so his participation in practice was just an estimate. It should confirm previous reports that he was expected to be ready Week 1. He'll likely compete with Sione Vaki for a limited number of snaps Sunday against the Rams, behind the Lions' backfield duo of David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs.

Injury doesn't appear serious
Head coach Dan Campbell said Saturday that Reynolds (leg) should be available for the Lions' regular-season opener against the Rams on Sept. 8, Colton Pouncy of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Reynolds sustained a leg injury during Thursday's practice, which kept him out of Detroit's preseason finale against Pittsburgh on Saturday. He is competing against Sione Vaki for the No. 3 running back role behind Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery. Reynolds accumulated 16 rushing yards on five carries over his two preseason appearances.

Leaves practice with leg injury
Reynolds left Thursday's practice with a leg issue but avoided a serious injury, Jared Ramsey of Detroit Free Press reports.
Analysis: While Reynolds reportedly did avoid a serious injury, his leg problem could keep him out of Detroit's final preseason game against the Steelers this Saturday. The 5-foot-11 running back is looking to secure the RB3 spot over rookie fourth-round pick Sione Vaki ahead of the season, but Reynolds will need to stay healthy if he wants to be a part of the backfield at any capacity this season.

Plays first preseason drive
Reynolds ran for five yards on one carry and caught one pass for three yards in Saturday's preseason game against Kansas City.
Analysis: Jahmyr Gibbs (hamstring) and David Montgomery both took a rest day here, and Reynolds claimed the first touch at running back for Detroit. It's not clear how settled the competition might be between Reynolds and rookie fourth-round pick Sione Vaki, but the fact that Reynolds played first Saturday would seemingly hint that Reynolds is the current favorite for the RB3 role, if only because Reynolds already earned some benefit of the doubt from head coach Dan Campbell in the previous three years.…read more

Competing for No. 3 role
Reynolds had four carries for 11 yards in Thursday's 14-3 loss to the Giants.
Analysis: Reynolds enters the 2024 campaign in a battle for the No. 3 running back role behind David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs, competing with rookie Sione Vaki for that spot. Vaki turned four carries into 29 yards versus New York, including a 15-yard scamper in the second quarter. It's hard to read too much into usage in the preseason, but Reynolds saw nine offensive snaps while Vaki was on the field for 13.

Back to Detroit
The Lions re-signed Reynolds as an exclusive rights free agent Monday.
Analysis: Reynolds appeared in 16 regular-season games last year, rushing 41 times for 179 yards and one touchdown. He also secured all five of his targets for 47 yards. Now having re-upped with Detroit, he figures to reprise a depth role behind Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery.

Totals 226 yards in 2023
Reynolds rushed 41 times for 179 yards and one touchdown while catching five passes (on five targets) for 47 yards over 17 regular-season games in 2023.
Analysis: Reynolds had a couple of productive games during the first half of the season while filling in for David Montgomery, who missed multiple games due to injuries. However, both Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs managed to stay healthy over the second half of the year, leaving little work for Reynolds outside of returning kickoffs on special teams. Now set to become an unrestricted free agent, Reynolds is a candidate to return to Detroit but will need to land a new contract this offseason.

Plays exclusively on special teams
Reynolds returned a kickoff for 26 yards while playing all 17 of his snaps on special teams in Saturday's 42-17 win over the Broncos.
Analysis: For a four-week stretch from Weeks 5 through 8, Reynolds made a splash in a supporting role out of the backfield for Detroit, carrying 34 times for 157 yards and a touchdown while adding four receptions for 49 yards. However, with both David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs having stayed healthy since the Lions' Week 9 bye, Reynolds has since seen his role on offense almost completely evaporate. He's played just nine total snaps on offense and hasn't logged any carries or targets over Detroit's last…read more

Returns to small offensive role
Reynolds logged three offensive snaps during Sunday's win over the Chargers.
Analysis: With David Montgomery back in action, Reynolds returned to logging more than half of the available snaps on specials teams, just as he had when Montgomery was healthy early in the season. This arrangement presumably won't change as long as Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs stay healthy.

Impresses with extended opportunity
Reynolds rushed 14 times for 74 yards and brought in his only target for 13 yards in the Lions' 26-14 win over the Raiders on Monday.
Analysis: Reynolds parlayed a season-high tally in rush attempts into his best yardage total of the campaign. He consistently gained positive chunks of yardage with his carries, further cementing his status as one of the best No. 3 backs in the league. While he'll presumably be relegated to a smaller role on offense once David Montgomery (ribs) returns following a Week 9 bye, Reynolds may have earned himself at least a slightly larger role moving forward even when the backfield is at full health.

Limited to four touches
Reynolds recorded three carries for 16 yards in Sunday's 38-6 loss to the Ravens. He added one catch for nine yards.
Analysis: The Lions backfield was in flux heading into Sunday's matchup, though Reynolds ultimately ended up as the second back behind Jahmyr Gubbs with David Montgomery (ribs) sidelined. His role was limited even so, as Detroit was willing to get Gibbs heavily involved as both a rusher and receiver. Reynolds will return to primarily a special teams role once Montgomery can retake the field.

Active in Week 7
Reynolds (hamstring/toe) is listed as active Sunday at Baltimore.
Analysis: Despite being capped to two limited sessions during Week 7 prep, Reynolds will gut through the hamstring and toe injuries that he dealt with in advance of this contest. With David Montgomery (ribs) sidelined, the Lions likely will lean on rookie first-round pick Jahmyr Gibbs (hamstring) out of the backfield, but Reynolds also should get some run. Through six games this season, Reynolds is averaging 3.7 yards on his 24 carries and has gathered in all three targets for 26 yards.

Analysis: David Montgomery (ribs) exited the game in the second quarter while Jahmyr Gibbs (hamstring) was inactive for the second consecutive week. That left Reynolds to lead the backfield, and he found running room to be scarce, though Tampa Bay held Detroit to 1.8 yards per attempt on the ground overall.

No touches with Montgomery back
Reynolds did not record a carry during Thursday's win over Green Bay.

Little production in larger role
Reynolds rushed four times for 13 yards during Sunday's 20-6 win over Atlanta.
Analysis: Reynolds ended up seeing 30 percent of the offensive snaps in the absence of David Montgomery (thigh) while Jahmyr Gibbs shouldered most of the rushing load. However, Detroit ended up working a third running back into the mix as well, with Zonovan Knight logging just as many rushing yards as Reynolds on one less carry and 13 fewer snaps. As it looks like Reynolds will not be a direct replacement for Montgomery, the former will be hard to trust even if Montgomery continues to miss time.

Analysis: Reynolds played only on special teams in the season opener but stepped in for 10 offensive snaps following David Montgomery's (thigh) exit to the locker room. While head coach Dan Campbell only labeled Montgomery as "day-to-day" in advance of a Week 3 showdown against Atlanta, Reynolds could handle some sort of role between the tackles if Montgomery misses time.

No offensive snaps
Reynolds did not log a snap on offense during Thursday's 21-20 win over the Chiefs.
Analysis: Reynolds secured the No. 3 role at running back in the wake of Justin Jackson's retirement this summer.

Reynolds was released by the Lions on Tuesday.
Analysis: Detroit opted to keep only two running backs on its initial 53-man roster: Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery. Full back Jason Cabinda also made the team.

Strengthens case for No. 3 role
Reynolds played most of the first half in Friday's 26-17 win over Carolina, taking 11 carries for 41 yards and a touchdown and catching his lone target for a five-yard gain.
Analysis: Reynolds played the vast majority of snaps with Teddy Bridgewater and the second-string offense, while Benny Snell and Devine Ozigbo mostly played after halftime with the third unit. Top backs Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery were rested, and it's hard to imagine Reynolds getting much work as the No. 3 RB if both guys ahead of him remain healthy for Week 1 at Kansas City on Thu., Sept. 7.

Hoping to lock down depth role
Reynolds rushed the ball eight times for 13 yards in Saturday's 25-7 preseason loss to the Jaguars. He added four receptions on six targets for 29 yards.
Analysis: With both Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery sitting out, Reynolds was the first back on the field for the Lions. He wasn't effective as a rusher but did manage to show his ability as a pass catcher. Reynolds will be looking to lock in the third spot on the running back depth chart for the remainder of the preseason.

Joined by Gibbs
Reynolds has been joined on the depth chart by rookie first-rounder Jahmyr Gibbs following the 2023 NFL Draft, Scott Thompson of Fox News reports.
Analysis: Reynolds ended last season stuck behind D'Andre Swift and Jamaal Williams on the depth chart, but he now finds himself behind even bigger investments at running back in Gibbs and David Montgomery. While Reynolds at least has the inside track to the No. 3 role now that Justin Jackson is looking for a new opportunity, such a role only has fantasy value as a modest insurance policy in deep leagues.

Signs new deal with Detroit
Reynolds and the Lions agreed to a contract Monday.
Analysis: The exact details of the deal are unknown, but Reynolds will be returning to Detroit for a third season in 2023. The running back appeared in nine games with the Lions last season, recording 102 rushing yards on 23 carries while also reeling in nine catches for 116 yards. With D'Andre Swift and Jamaal Williams both likely to still be on the team next season, there isn't a clear path for Reynolds to see an increase in usage.

Totals 218 yards in 2022
Reynolds rushed 23 times for 102 yards while catching nine of 10 targets for 116 yards over nine games in 2022.
Analysis: Reynolds opened the year as the No. 3 running back behind D'Andre Swift and Jamaal Williams, but he couldn't stay healthy and eventually fell behind Justin Jackson on the depth chart as well. While Reynolds is now set to hit free agency at the end of the league year, it's possible he could return to a more prominent role for the Lions in 2023 considering both Williams and Jackson are also on expiring contracts.

Analysis: Reynolds traveled with the team to New York for Sunday's matchup against the Jets and will presumably be active following a five-game absence due to a knee injury. He opened the season as the No. 3 running back behind Jamaal Williams and D'Andre Swift, but Justin Jackson has thrived in that role of late. It's unclear what Reynolds' role will be in Week 15 if he's deemed available, but he's unlikely to garner a large enough role to crack fantasy relevancy.

Analysis: Reynolds suffered the injury in Week 9's win over the Packers and was placed on IR on Nov. 9. He now has a 21-day window to either be added back to the active roster or revert to IR for the remainder of the season. Before suffering the injury, Reynolds operated as the team's No. 3 running back, a role that Justin Jackson has since occupied.

Heads to IR
Detroit placed Reynolds (ribs) on injured reserve Wednesday.
Analysis: Reynolds was forced out of Sunday's win over Green Bay due to the rib injury and will now be required to miss at least the Lions' next four games with his move to IR. His absence should open up even more opportunities for Justin Jackson as the Lions' No. 3 back behind D'Andre Swift and Jamaal Williams.

Downgraded to out
Reynolds (ribs) was ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Packers.
Analysis: Reynolds will not be able to return after being forced out with a rib injury in the first half against Green Bay. The 26-year-old played a minor role in Detroit's offense over the first seven games, and his next chance to suit up will come versus the Bears on Sunday, Nov. 13.

Questionable to return
Reynolds is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Packers with a rib injury.
Analysis: Reynolds did not record a carry before exiting in the first half against Green Bay, though the nature and severity of this issue are still unknown. The 26-year-old rushed 23 times for 102 yards and caught nine passes (on 10 targets) for 116 yards as the Lions' third-string running back over the first seven games of the season. With Reynolds sidelined, expect Justin Jackson to take on a larger role behind D'Andre Swift and Jamaal Williams in this contest.

Tiny role in Swift's return
Reynolds rushed twice for seven yards and was not able to secure his lone target during Sunday's loss to the Dolphins.
Analysis: With D'Andre Swift back in the fold, Reynolds saw his second-lowest snap share of the season while Swift and Jamaal Williams handled the near entirety of the rushing workload. Unless one of those two misses time again, Reynolds' offensive role should remain miniscule.

Totals 92 yards
Reynolds rushed six times for 24 yards while catching three of three targets for 68 yards during Sunday's 29-0 loss to New England.
Analysis: Reynolds was more efficient on the ground than the box score implies, considering he was dropped for a seven-yard loss at one point, and he ultimately performed well as a change-of-pace option behind Jamaal Williams in the absence of D'Andre Swift (shoulder). However, the Lions didn't spend much time in Patriots territory, leaving no realistic scoring opportunities for anyone in the Detroit backfield. With Swift expected to return to the field after a Week 6 bye, Reynolds should revert to his…read more

Small role in Swift's absence
Reynolds rushed twice for 30 yards while securing his only target for 12 yards during Sunday's 48-45 loss to Seattle.
Analysis: Reynolds logged a third of the offensive snaps in the absence of D'Andre Swift (shoulder) but handled fewer touches than Justin Jackson, who saw a fraction of the playing time that Reynolds did. Meanwhile, Jamaal Williams logged half the snaps and carried nearly the entire rushing load for a second straight game. It's fair to expect a similar distribution of work in Week 5 against New England.

Seven touches while spelling Swift
Reynolds rushed six times for 13 yards while securing his only target for five yards during Sunday's 28-24 loss to Minnesota.
Analysis: Reynolds saw increased offensive snaps and touches for a second consecutive week as D'Andre Swift now tends to a shoulder injury in addition to his ankle woes. With Swift possibly set to miss multiple games, Reynolds could see even more involvement in Week 4 against the Seahawks as the potential No. 2 running back behind Jamaal Williams.

Four touches against former team
Reynolds rushed three times for 16 yards while securing his only target for 13 yards during Sunday's 36-27 win over Washington.
Analysis: After being contained to special teams in the season opener, Reynolds saw some modest run, possibly because of D'Andre Swift's reported ankle sprain. He was efficient in doing so, but he didn't see nearly enough playing time behind Swift and Jamaal Williams to have a chance at fantasy relevance.

No offensive snaps
Reynolds did not log any offensive snaps during Sunday's 38-35 loss to the Eagles.
Analysis: Reynolds is clearly the third option at running back behind D'Andre Swift and Jamaal Williams. Barring injuries, he doesn't figure to see much, if any, playing time most weeks.

Plays into fourth quarter
Reynolds rushed six times for 31 yards while catching two of three targets for 13 yards during Sunday's 19-9 loss to the Steelers.
Analysis: Considering Reynolds was the presumptive favorite for the No. 3 role at running back for most of the preseason, it was surprising to see him playing into the fourth quarter on both offense and special teams Sunday. Meanwhile, Justin Jackson totaled 83 yards on 10 touches and may be a making a claim for his job. While it's possible that both players make the roster, there's no certainty that Detroit will keep five running backs on the roster given that Godwin Igwebuike seems likely to stick…read more

Leading battle for No. 3 RB role
Reynolds rushed seven times for 37 yards and caught his only target for five yards in Saturday's 27-26 preseason win over the Colts.
Analysis: Each of Reynolds, Justin Jackson, Godwin Igwebuike and Jermar Jefferson got seven carries in this game, as Detroit got an extended look at each of the four running backs competing for the third spot on the depth chart behind D'Andre Swift and Jamaal Williams. Reynolds is leading that competition, according to Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site, but Jackson could be closing the gap after churning out 54 yards on his seven attempts Saturday.

Three carries in season finale
Reynolds rushed three times for two yards during Sunday's 37-30 win over Green Bay.
Analysis: Reynolds was in the starting lineup with fellow tailback D'Andre Swift but both ended up finishing well behind Jamaal Williams in carries. Making matters worse for Reynolds is that he only went on to log five more offensive snaps en route to a poor stat line. He'll thus finish the season with 55 carries for 230 rushing yards while catching seven of eight targets for 52 receiving yards despite not joining the active roster until Week 14. While he should remain in a complementary role next season…read more

Quiet in No. 3 role
Reynolds rushed four times for four yards during Sunday's 51-29 loss to Seattle.
Analysis: Reynolds got a handful of touches throughout the game, but the return of D'Andre Swift predictably pushed Reynolds into a tertiary role. With no injuries to report for either of Swift or Jamaal Williams, Reynolds presumably will remain that way Week 18 against Green Bay.

Role reduction on tap
Reynolds is expected to drop to third on the depth chart for Sunday's game against the Seahawks with lead back D'Andre Swift (shoulder) making his return to the lineup following a four-game absence, Justin Rogers of The Detroit News reports.
Analysis: After serving as Detroit's lead back Weeks 14 and 15, Reynolds moved into a more reduced role in the Week 16 loss to Atlanta with Jamaal Williams making his return from a two-game absence. Williams (19 carries, zero catches) and Reynolds (11 carries, three receptions) both picked up double-digit touches in the 20-16 loss while operating in a timeshare, but the addition of Swift to the backfield mix will cut into the workloads of both players in a significant way. Williams is the safer bet to…read more

Gets 14 touches in loss
Reynolds rushed 11 times for 29 yards while catching three of four targets for 22 yards during Sunday's 20-16 loss to Atlanta.
Analysis: Despite moving into a secondary role with Jamaal Williams back in action, Reynolds still saw a decent workload while easily topping the zero targets Williams saw in the passing game. However, not including a game-high 14 yard scamper by Williams, Detroit running backs collectively averaged 3.7 scoreless yards per carry as the offense initially struggled to do much with backup Tim Boyle under center. While the return of Jared Goff (COVID-19) could help open up the run game, Reynolds' Week 17…read more

Getting another chance with Swift out
Reynolds and Jamaal Williams will serve as the Lions' primary running backs for Sunday's game in Atlanta, Tim Twentyman of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Reynolds received a majority share of the running back reps over the last two games with Williams on the reserve/COVID-19 list and D'Andre Swift in recovery mode from an AC joint sprain in his shoulder. Williams is back in action Sunday, while Swift will miss his fourth game in a row. It remains to be seen the breakdown of snaps between Reynolds and Williams, but the former notched 40 touches for 216 yards between Weeks 14 and 15.

Rewarded with roster spot
The Lions signed Reynolds to the 53-man roster Monday, Doug Kyed of Pro Football Focus reports.
Analysis: Perhaps more importantly, the transaction inks Reynolds with Detroit through 2022, a much-deserved development after the Kutztown product amassed 216 total yards in his last two appearances. D'Andre Swift (shoulder) and/or Jamaal Williams (illness) could be back in action for Week 16 against a Falcons defense that's proven susceptible to the run, but Reynolds appears to have played his way into the No. 3 backfield role at the very least.

Runs over Cardinals
Reynolds rushed 26 times for 112 yards while catching his only target for five yards during Sunday's 30-12 win over Arizona.
Analysis: With D'Andre Swift (shoulder) and Jamaal Williams (illness) sidelined again, Reynolds carried the load for Detroit while Jermar Jefferson (five carries for nine yards) spelled him on occasion. The Kutztown product now has 216 total yards over the past week and has quickly shown that the team might have made a mistake in cutting him in favor of Jefferson this fall. While it's possible that Swift and/or Williams could return in Week 16 against Atlanta, it otherwise seems like Reynolds could get a…read more

With D'Andre Swift (shoulder) also ruled out, Reynolds could be in line for a similar workload to the one he handled last Sunday in Denver, when he turned a 45 percent share of snaps into 13 touches for 99 yards from scrimmage.

Splitting first-team reps
Reynolds and Jermar Jefferson took the bulk of the first-team reps at running back during Thursday's practice, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
Analysis: Reynolds could be looking at another heightened workload this weekend with both of D'Andre Swift (shoulder) and Jamaal Williams (COVID-19) looking unlikely to play. However, with Jefferson further removed from having the flu as well as a thigh injury, his upside could be capped by a committee approach.

Analysis: Godwin Igwebuike and Jermar Jefferson were expected to lead the Detroit backfield in the absence of D'Andre Swift (shoulder) and Jamaal Williams (COVID-19), but instead it was Reynolds who emerged as the most effective rusher for the team just one day after being promoted from the practice squad.

Analysis: Reynolds and recent practice squad signee Rodney Smith will provide depth with starting running backs D'Andre Swift (shoulder) and Jamaal Williams (COVID-19 protocols) both out for Sunday's game against the Broncos. Detroit is very thin at running back and will likely lean on Godwin Igwebuike and Jermar Jefferson, who combined for seven carries last week against Minnesota.

Analysis: Reynolds was a feel-good storyline in Detroit given his impressive preseason production despite signing with the team the day before the exhibition opener.

Reynolds rushed four times for nine yards while catching one pass for 10 yards during Friday's preseason game against the Colts. He also gained 24 yards on one kickoff return.
Analysis: After rushing for 87 yards with two scores in the first two exhibition games, Reynolds had a quiet finish to the preseason as Jermar Jefferson and Godwin Igwebuike carried the load for Detroit at running back. Considering Igwebuike was also more productive than Reynolds at kick returner, Reynolds will be a surprise to make the roster, but he may have shown enough to earn a spot on the practice squad.

Analysis: Reynolds registered two touches over three offensive snaps Sunday during a loss to the Bears, collecting four yards on his lone rush attempt while hauling in a Mike Glennon pass for a three-yard gain. A Week 16 appearance marked Reynolds' second of the 2020 campaign, and he could get another opportunity in the season finale against Indianapolis given that No. 1 back James Robinson (ankle) is currently dealing with an injury.

Analysis: As Atlanta curtails Todd Gurley's training camp workload to keep him near 15-to-25 touches per game during the regular season, it makes sense that the team would bring in a familiar face in Reynolds. The 24-year-old joined the Falcons' practice squad last December, and he offers ready familiarity with Dirk Koetter's offense. As Qadree Ollison (undisclosed) continues to miss time, Reynolds adds developmental depth to the backup running back committee.
