Broncos' Karene Reid: Designated to return from IR

Reid (hamstring) was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.

Reid has been sidelined since early November while nursing a hamstring injury, but he now appears to be approaching his return to action. The team has now opened a 21-day practice window for the linebacker, and if he's not activated from IR in that time frame, he will remain sidelined for the rest of the year.
