News

  • Agrees to terms with Miami

    The Dolphins signed Reed on Saturday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Reed is coming off the worst season of his career, but he will now reunite with Maimi's defensive coordinator Vic Fangio, whom the 26-year-old had his most productive seasons with while playing under him in Denver. Reed should be expected to serve as solid rotational depth behind starters Bradley Chubb and Jaelan Phillips.

  • Abruptly downgraded to inactive

    Reed (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Though it was previously noted that Reed would be good to go for the Week 14 divisional matchup versus Baltimore, he's since been ruled inactive and won't suit up this weekend as a result of a nagging back issue. In the 235-pounder's absence, Jamir Jones could receive additional usage at outside linebacker behind starters T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith.

  • Set to play Sunday

    Reed (back), who was previously questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals, had his injury status removed and will play against the Ravens on Sunday, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Reed has been dealing with a back injury for the past few weeks now, but he will again play through it in the matchup against the Ravens. The 26-year-old will provide rotational depth behind T.J. Watt (ribs) and Alex Highsmith and could see increased playing time if Watt is limited once again.

  • Ready for action Sunday

    Reed (back) is active for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Reed unexpectedly popped up on Pittsburgh's injury report Saturday with an apparent back issue, but he's since been cleared to play Sunday in Atlanta. The 26-year-old figures to continue operating as a rotational linebacker behind superstar T.J. Watt.

  • Questionable for Sunday

    Reed (back) was added to the injury report Saturday and is questionable for Sunday's game against the Falcons.

    Analysis: Reed's status for Sunday's game is now in doubt despite being a full participant in practice throughout the week. The Steelers could be very thin at outside linebacker, as T.J. Watt is also questionable with a rib injury, and if either can't play it would likely lead to Alex Highsmith and Jamir Jones getting more playing time.

  • Suiting up Sunday

    Reed (personal) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Saints, Chris Adamski of Trib Live reports.

    Analysis: Reed was originally listed as questionable to play in Sunday's contest versus New Orleans due to personal reasons, but it appears like he'll be able to give it a go in Week 10. The 26-year-old will likely give up some snaps to last year's Defensive Player of the Year T.J. Watt, who's suiting up for the first time since the team's season opener due to knee and pectoral issues.

  • Availability uncertain

    Reed is questionable to play Sunday against the Saints due to personal reasons, Missi Matthews of the Steelers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Reed was excused for personal reasons during practice Thursday and was listed as a limited participant Friday, though the nature of this issue is still unclear. The 26-year-old has played a prominent role over eight games for Pittsburgh this season, recording 18 tackles, one sack and two passes defended while playing 300 defensive snaps. However, with star outside linebacker T.J. Watt (knee) expected to play for the first time since Week 1, Reed's usage could take a dip even if he is ultimately…read more

  • Looks set to fill in for Watt

    Reed's role is expected to increase significantly as long as T.J. Watt (pectoral) is sidelined, Mark Kaboly of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Coach Mike Tomlin is only ruling Watt out for Week 2 for the time being, but it looks possible that the reigning Defensive Player of the Year will be out at least six weeks. However long Watt is sidelined, Reed's experience as a pass rusher will make him the favorite to pick up the slack on defense. The 26-year-old joined Pittsburgh via trade from Denver late August.

  • Traded to Pittsburgh

    The Broncos traded Reed to the Steelers on Tuesday in exchange for late draft-pick compensation, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Reed suffered an eye injury during the Broncos' second exhibition game but returned to action during the preseason finale. The 26-year-old started 26 games for Denver since the start of 2020 and posted a team-high 13 sacks and three forced fumbles during that stretch. However, Reed was looking at a reduced role this year with Josey Jewell and Bradley Chubb both healthy to start 2022, plus the addition of Randy Gregory (shoulder). In Pittsburgh, Reed figures to operate as a depth pass rusher…read more

  • Suffers eye injury

    Reed (eye) is questionable to return to Saturday's preseason game at Buffalo.

    Analysis: The severity of Reed's injury is unclear pending another update from the team. Nik Bonitto should see increased reps in his absence.

    Published: Sat, Aug 20 at 12:51pm by Rotowire.com

  • Signs tender from Denver

    Reed signed his tender to remain with the Broncos on Monday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

    Analysis: The Broncos extended a right of first refusal tender to Reed on March 17, and after officially signing a contract, he'll make $2.4 million during the 2022 campaign. The 25-year-old has started 26 games since the start of 2020 and posted a team-high 13 sacks and three forced fumbles during that stretch. Reed figures to garner a similar role during the upcoming season.

  • Clears COVID protocols

    Reed was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

    Analysis: Reed was placed on the COVID list on Dec. 11 and missed the Broncos' last two games. As one of the biggest producers on the Broncos' defense, Reed's return should be a boost for not only their linebacker unit, but their defense as a whole. He'll look to make an impact in his return Sunday against the Raiders.

  • Placed on reserve/COVID-19 list

    Reed (undisclosed) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday.

    Analysis: Reed's absence Sunday against the Lions will leave a fairly significant hole in the Broncos' linebacker unit, especially with Bradley Chubb also questionable with a shoulder injury. The return of Micah Kiser (groin) lightens the blow, but the Broncos could be thin at the position Sunday.

  • Leads Denver in tackles

    Reed recorded nine tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 30-13 loss to the Eagles.

    Analysis: Reed's nine tackles were his most in a single game so far this season. The 25-year-old linebacker heads into the Broncos' Week 11 bye with 31 total tackles and four sacks. Reed will look to improve upon these totals in a Week 12 matchup against the Chargers on Nov. 28.

  • Active Sunday

    Reed (hip) is active for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

    Analysis: Reed missed one game with the issue and Wednesday's practice this week as well. He put in two limited appearances to finish up Week 10 prep and will suit up against Philadelphia.

    Published: Sun, Nov 14 at 12:20pm by Rotowire.com
    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • Gets questionable designation

    Reed (hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup with the Eagles, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

    Analysis: Reed logged limited practice sessions on consecutive days to finish the week before getting a questionable tag. Thus, he is looking like a true game-time decision. Jonathon Cooper would presumably be the next man up at linebacker should Reed end up getting ruled out.

  • Won't face Dallas

    Reed (hip) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against the Cowboys, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

    Analysis: Reed was on a downward trajectory throughout the week, as he began without an injury designation before not being able to practice at all Friday. That makes it little surprise that he will be unable to suit up. Reed has logged four sacks this season, so the Denver pass rush will feel his absence. Jonathon Cooper is expected to step up in Reed's absence.

  • Questionable for Sunday

    Reed (hip) is questionable for Sunday against Dallas, Troy Renck of Denver7 reports.

    Analysis: Reed was unable to practice Friday after logging a limited practice on Thursday, which isn't a good sign for his availability Sunday. If Reed is unable to play, Jonathon Cooper will likely step into a larger role.

  • Notches two sacks

    Reed recorded three tackles, two sacks and a pass defensed in a 17-10 win over Washington on Sunday.

    Analysis: Reed had missed practice earlier in the week with a hip injury, but if it was bothering him Sunday it didn't show up in the box score. The two sacks ties a single game career high while also doubling his season total. Reed will try to keep rolling Sunday against the Cowboys.

  • Cleared to play Week 8

    Reed (hip) does not bear an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against Washington, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

    Analysis: Reed put in two limited sessions during the week before returning in full Friday. The 25-year-old has yet to miss a game this season.

    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • Misses practice

    Reed (groin) missed practice Tuesday, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

    Analysis: Reed played a season-high 96 percent of the defensive snaps in Thursday's loss to the Browns, and it's unknown exactly when he picked up the injury. The Broncos linebacker group is currently riddled with injuries, so having him miss Sunday against Washington would be a big blow to the defense. However, he is expected to be ready for Sunday.

  • Brings down Roethlisberger

    Reed notched seven tackles (four solo), one sack and one forced fumble during Denver's loss to the Steelers in Week 5.

    Analysis: Reed enjoyed his best game of the season in Denver's loss, bringing him to two sacks through five contests. The veteran will continue to handle a starting defensive role as long as Bradley Chubb (ankle) remains sidelined.

  • Gets to Wilson

    Reed recorded four tackles (two solo) and a sack in Sunday's 26-0 win over the Jets.

    Analysis: Reed is handling extra playing time now that Bradley Chubb (ankle) is out long term, and he has finally converted his first sack of the 2021 campaign. With Chubb out last year, Reed produced 53 tackles (33 solo) and eight sacks. Those numbers could be within reach again, though Chubb will likely return at some point.

  • Ankle has recovered

    Reed (ankle) wasn't listed on Wednesday's injury report.

    Analysis: Reed was a full participant in practice, suggesting he's over the ankle injury he sustained a few weeks ago. The backup linebacker's on track to suit up for the Broncos in Week 1 against the Giants come Sunday.

  • Misses practice

    Reed missed practice Wednesday with an ankle injury, George Stoia III of The Denver Gazette reports.

    Analysis: Coach Vic Fangio did not disclose the severity of Reed's ankle injury or how much time the linebacker could miss. The linebacker recorded a team-high eight sacks last season after Von Miller missed the 2020 campaign due to injury. With Miller returning and Bradley Chubb healthy, Reed will likely be No. 3 in the linebacker rotation. The 6-foot-2, 235-pounder will look to improve upon his performance last year and be a key contributor for the Broncos in 2021.

  • Leads team in sacks in 2020

    Reed wrapped up the 2020 season with 53 tackles, 11.5 tackles for loss, eight sacks, a forced fumble and a pass defensed.

    Analysis: Reed was supposed to be a reserve rusher in 2020 but quickly elevated to the starting lineup after the season-ending ankle injury suffered by Von Miller just before Week 1. The 2019 undrafted free agent ended up filling in admirably for Miller, leading the team in sacks and tackles for loss -- even mimicking Miller's Super Bowl performance by sacking Cam Newton twice in Week 6's win over New England. The team faces some serious considerations with Miller's contract in the coming months. Reed's…read more

  • Sack in loss

    Reed recorded five tackles (three solo), including a sack, and added a forced fumble across 47 snaps in Sunday's loss to the Chargers.

    Analysis: Reed now has 52 tackles (33 solo) and a team-leading 7.5 sacks on the year through 15 contests. The young linebacker has proven to be a force as a pass rusher, which could garner him some IDP interest heading into 2021.

  • Ready for Sunday night

    Reed (shin) is active for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

    Analysis: Reed was officially listed as questionable to play Sunday, but he's made enough progress in his recovery to suit up. He appears set to draw his usual start at strong-side linebacker, as Von Miller's replacement.

    Published: Sun, Dec 6 at 4:08pm by Rotowire.com
    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • Status uncertain for Sunday

    Reed (shin) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Chiefs, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.

    Analysis: Reed made progress every day this week, logging a DNP/LP/FP practice regimen. Barring a setback, he should be ready to go for Sunday night's divisional clash. Reed has held his own as Von Miller's replacement at strong-side linebacker, generating 30 tackles and 6.5 sacks over the last seven games. If he ends up sidelined, however, Jeremiah Attaochu should secure the starting gig.

  • Shakes off injury

    Reed (ankle) won't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game versus the Saints, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.

    Analysis: Reed is in line to start a seventh straight game for the Broncos. The second-year linebacker out of Nebraska has been fantastic stepping into Von Miller's (ankle) role, as he's piled up 28 tackles and 6.5 sacks through the past seven contests.

    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • Pops up on injury report

    Reed (ankle) was limited during Thursday's practice session.

    Analysis: Reed did not carry a designation on Wednesday's injury report, hinting that the second-year man may have been banged up in practice. The Nevada product has enjoyed a breakout 2020 with eight tackles for loss, 12 QB hits and 6.5 sacks. His status remains up in the air for a Week 12 home game against New Orleans, as Taysom Hill readies for his second start at quarterback.

  • Records 1.5 sacks in win

    Reed finished Sunday's game against the Dolphins with six tackles (four solo), 1.5 sacks and 2.5 tackles for loss.

    Analysis: Reed is putting together a solid 2020 campaign, already setting a career best with 6.5 sacks through 10 contests. He's also racked up 35 tackles (22 solo) and one pass defended on the year.

  • Tallies two more sacks

    Reed had five tackles (four solo) and two sacks during Sunday's loss to the Chiefs.

    Analysis: The 24-year-old has only two career sacks prior to Week 6 against New England, but he now has two sacks in each of the past two contests. Reed has 22 total tackles and four sacks through six games in 2020.

  • Tacks on two sacks

    Reed made five tackles (three solo) and two sacks in Sunday's 18-12 win over the Patriots.

    Analysis: Reed entered Week 6 without a sack through the first four games, but he took down Cam Newton twice to match last year's sack total in just one game. He also finished with an 86 percent snap share -- his highest of the season. Reed could be relegated to a bench role once Jeremiah Attaochu (quadriceps) returns to the lineup, but even before Attaochu's injury, Reed consistently rotated in on defense. Perhaps his two-sack performance will earn him more looks going forward.

  • Set for larger role

    Reed and Jeremiah Attaochu are expected to share most of the snaps left behind by Von Miller's ankle injury, per coach Vic Fangio, Zac Stevens of DNVR Sports reports.

    Analysis: Miller's injury creates an opportunity for the 24-year-old Reed to make a leap in his second NFL season. Reed recorded two sacks and 27 tackles as a rookie in 2019 after signing with the Broncos as an undrafted free agent.

  • Upgrades to full practice

    Reed (ankle/shoulder) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Ryan O'Halloran of The Denver Post reports.

    Analysis: Reed sat out Week 14's win over the Texans due to ankle and shoulder injuries, and he now looks back to full health. Barring any setbacks, the 23-year-old can be expected to draw his usual start in Denver's linebacker corps in Kansas City on Sunday.

  • Inactive Week 14

    Reed (ankle/shoulder) is officially inactive for Sunday's game against the Texans.

    Analysis: The 23-year-old was able to work as a limited practice participant Thursday and Friday, but isn't suiting up Sunday. Reed started the last eight games for Denver, and his absence likely pushes Jeremiah Attaochu and Justin Hollins into expanded roles this week.

  • Draws questionable tag

    Reed (ankle/shoulder) is questionable for Sunday's contest against the Texans, Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Reed kicked off the week as a non-participant in practice, but he's now managed two straight limited sessions. The 23-year-old will work to play through his injuries during Sunday's tilt against the Texans, but a final decision on his availability could come down to a game-time decision. With Von Miller (knee) also listed as questionable, Jeremiah Attaochu and Justin Hollins could be in line for expanded roles on defense Week 14.

  • Not practicing Wednesday

    Reed didn't practice Wednesday due to ankle and shoulder injuries, Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Reed exited last Sunday's win over the Chargers with a lower leg injury but was able to return, though he now has the ankle and shoulder issues to contend with. The specifics of the injuries remain unclear, but the 23-year-old's availability will remain up in the air until he returns to practice.

  • Back in action

    Reed (lower leg) returned to Sunday's game against the Chargers, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

    Analysis: The Broncos faithful can breathe a sigh of relief, as Reed and Jeremiah Attaochu (lower leg) both came back into the game in the second quarter. Without the two, the Broncos only had two healthy outside linebackers. Reed is expected to continue logging a starter's snap count.

  • Leaves with injury

    Reed was forced out of Sunday's game against the Chargers with a lower-leg injury, Patrick Smyth of the Broncos' official site reports.

    Analysis: Reed left the game just a few plays after Jeremiah Attaochu (lower leg) departed, leaving the Broncos' outside linebacker corps extremely thin. Justin Hollins and Ahmad Gooden can both fill in, but interior linebackers Joseph Jones and Josey Jewell may need to bump outside.
