Saints' Justin Reid: Production dips with New Orleans
Reid finished the 2025 regular season with 72 tackles (37 solo), including 0.5 sacks, and four passes defended, including one interception, across 15 games.
Reid's numbers took a slight hit in his first season with the Saints, as he tallied fewer than 83 tackles for the first time since 2021 and for just the second time in his career. The eight-year veteran was sidelined for two games, as well as the majority of the Week 13 loss to the Dolphins, with a knee injury. He also played just nine defensive snaps Week 5, so missing almost four games likely helps explain his dip in production. Reid has two seasons remaining on his three-year, $31.5 million deal with New Orleans.

Saints' Justin Reid: Just two tackles in Week 17 victory
Reid logged two tackles (one solo) and a pass defense during the Saints' 34-26 win over the Titans on Sunday.
Reid played every single defensive snap during Sunday's win but had just two stops to show for it. The veteran safety signed a three-year, $31.5 million contract with the Saints in March after spending the past three seasons with the Chiefs, and in his first campaign with New Orleans he has accumulated 71 tackles (37 solo), including 0.5 sacks, and six pass defenses (including a pick-six) across 14 regular-season games.

Saints' Justin Reid: Back to full practice Thursday
Reid (knee) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
Reid has missed consecutive games due to a knee injury. Thursday's full practice was enough to clear the strong safety of any injury designation, and he will be good to go for Sunday's game against the Jets. Reid's projected return means Jordan Howden will likely return to a depth role in the Saints' secondary.

Saints' Justin Reid: Limited practice Wednesday
Reid (knee) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.
Reid has been sidelined for the team's last two contests while dealing with a knee issue, but his ability to practice in any capacity to open the week is a positive sign for his chances to play in Week 16. The safety will have two more chances to log a full practice prior to Sunday's matchup with the Jets.

Saints' Justin Reid: Won't play Week 15
Reid (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Panthers.
Reid was given the questionable tag for Week 15 after logging a limited practice Friday, but he'll end up missing a second consecutive game due to a knee injury. Jordan Howden will likely start at safety alongside Jonas Sanker in Reid's absence.

Saints' Justin Reid: Upgrades to limited Thursday
Reid (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
Reid was unable to practice Wednesday after missing the Week 14 win over the Buccaneers with a knee injury. The safety's upgrade to limited participation Thursday is a good sign for his chances of suiting up for Sunday's game against the Panthers. However, if the 28-year-old must misses a second consecutive game, Jordan Howden will likely log another start at strong safety.

Saints' Justin Reid: Could return for Week 15
Reid (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Panthers, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.
Reid upgraded from a DNP on Wednesday to limited practice sessions Thursday and Friday, suggesting he's trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's divisional matchup. The first-year Saint is an integral part of the team's defense, recording 60 total tackles and four passes defensed, including one pick-six, across 12 appearances this season. If active for the Week 15 contest, Reid is expected to operate as New Orleans' top strong safety.

Saints' Justin Reid: Starts week as DNP
Reid (knee) did not participate at practice Wednesday.
Reid was sidelined for Week 14 at Tampa Bay due to a knee injury he suffered in Week 13 at Miami, and he's now in danger of having to sit out again in Week 15. He'll probably have to return to practice Thursday or Friday to have any chance to play Sunday versus the Panthers.
