Jets' D.J. Reed: Season-high nine tackles Thursday
Rotowire
Reed had nine tackles (four solo) and a pass defensed in Thursday's 19-3 loss to the Jaguars.
As usual, Reed and Sauce Gardner took away the deep throws, so the Jaguars took what the defense gave them, providing Reed with plenty of opportunities to come up and make tackles on runs or short passes. The nine tackles marked a new single-game high for Reed as a Jet, and he's up to 12 passes defensed this season.

Reed (knee) is questionable for Sunday's season opener against the Ravens, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Seahawks' D.J. Reed: Not playing Tuesday
Rotowire
Reed wasn't activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list and won't be available for Tuesday's game against the Rams, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Reed was added to the list Sunday after testing positive for the virus, according to Brady Henderson of ESPN.com. Though he's vaccinated, Reed is apparently still experiencing symptoms of the virus and wasn't able to clear the NFL's COVID-19 protocol ahead of Tuesday's kickoff. Reed's absence this week should open up more snaps at cornerback for Bless Austin and John Reid.

Seahawks' D.J. Reed: Back to full practices
Rotowire
Reed is not listed on the injury report and was a full practice participant Wednesday and Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Reed suffered a chest injury in Sunday's win over the Texans, but coach Pete Carroll indicated that the injury was not serious. Reed's ability to practice throughout the week backs that up, so he should be set for a Week 15 matchup against the Rams. In 12 games this season, Reed has tallied 65 total tackles with seven passes defended.

Reed suffered a chest contusion in an on-field collision. A timetable for a return is unknown, but if Reed were to miss anytime moving forward, Bless Austin or John Reid could be moving into a starting job. Reed will try to return in Week 15 against the Rams.

Seahawks' D.J. Reed: Set for return
Rotowire
Reed (knee) was a full practice participant Saturday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Reed missed the team's Week 11 matchup with a groin injury, but he was a limited participant during the lead-up to Week 12 with a knee issue. However, due to his full participation Saturday, it should be presumed that he will return from a one-game absence. His presence will provide a big boost to the Seahawks defense, as he was previously a mainstay in the secondary and has five passes defended on the campaign.

Seahawks' D.J. Reed: Considered game-time decision
Rotowire
Reed (groin) is a game-time decision ahead of Sunday's matchup against Arizona, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle reports.
Reed was unable to practice Friday after he was a limited participant during Thursday's session. Although his participation trended in the wrong direction this week, he'll likely participate in pregame warmups before the Seahawks determine his status Sunday.

Seahawks' D.J. Reed: Limited Thursday
Rotowire
Reed (groin/knee) was limited in practice Thursday.
Reed picked up a groin injury in Week 8 against Jacksonville and has been on the injury report since. He hasn't been forced to miss game action, though it is somewhat concerning that he went from full participation Wednesday to limited Thursday. Reed will look to get more involved in practice before the team's Week 11 matchup against the Cardinals.

Seahawks' D.J. Reed: Managing groin issue
Rotowire
Reed has been sidelined recently due to a groin injury, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
Reed has been absent from practice since Sunday due to an injury, and coach Pete Carroll revealed Friday that the cornerback is dealing with a groin issue. The 24-year-old won't appear in Saturday's preseason opener against the Raiders due to his lack of practice this week, but the Seahawks remain optimistic that the injury is minor.

Rotowire
Reed was held out of Sunday's practice after he suffered an undisclosed injury Saturday, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Seahawks' D.J. Reed: Making most of opportunity
Rotowire
Reed posted six tackles (four solo), three pass breakups and an interception in Sunday's 20-15 win over the Football Team.
Reed made his season debut in Week 8, and he's piled up 48 tackles, six pass breakups and two interceptions over eight games. His work in coverage is drawing attention too, as he's proven an ability to handle opponent's top pass-catching options, including Terry McLaurin. Coach Pete Carroll relayed after the game that Reed "deserves to keep playing," according to Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times. That could mean that Reed will retain the starting outside cornerback role when Quinton Dunbar (knee) -- who may not be at 100 percent upon return -- is activated from IR, although that remains to be seen.

Seahawks' D.J. Reed: Gearing up for MNF
Rotowire
Reed (foot) is active for Monday's game versus the Eagles.
Reed has started in each of the past three games due to injuries to Shaquill Griffin (hamstring) and Quinton Dunbar (knee). However, Griffin will return for this game. Reed's responsibilities Monday could take a hit, although he may have proven enough to usurp Ugo Amadi for the slot corner role moving forward.

Seahawks' D.J. Reed: Full speed ahead
Rotowire
Reed (ankle) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Reed tweaked his ankle during this past Sunday's loss to the Bills, but his ability to practice at full speed puts him on track to play Week 10 against the Rams. His role largely depends on whether Ugo Amadi (hamstring) plays, as Reed has operated as the slot corner during Amadi's two-game absence. Reed has been impressive in a small sample, allowing a 69.9 passer rating over those two contests, so he could retain the role even if Amadi returns.

Seahawks' D.J. Reed: Lifted from NFI list
Rotowire
Reed (pectoral/hamstring) was activated from the non-football injury list Saturday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Reed is past the pectoral injury that forced him to miss the first seven weeks of the season, but now he's considered questionable for Sunday's matchup against the 49ers with a hamstring injury. Coach Pete Carroll said Friday that Reed is "ready to play", so he's expected to suit up and could start at nickel corner because Ugo Amadi (hamstring) is considered doubtful.

49ers' D.J. Reed: Will be placed on IR
Rotowire
Reed (pectoral) will be placed on the reserve/non-football injury list due to the torn pectoral muscle he suffered in June, ending his 2020 season, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
GM John Lynch stated that Reed may not be able to return until December, which made his placement on the NFI list seem like an easy decision. The 22-year-old recorded 13 tackles, two passes defended and a defensive touchdown while serving as a backup at both slot corner and free safety in 2019.

49ers' D.J. Reed: Suffers torn pectoral
Rotowire
Reed sustained a torn pectoral on Thursday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
The timing of Reed's injury puts him on track to begin training camp on the Non-Football Injury list, and it's possible that he could likewise start the regular season on the Physically Unable to Perform list. The 23-year-old contributes as a versatile depth option for San Francisco, as he boasts the ability to line up at either safety or cornerback while also returning punts and kicks.

Reed only missed one game this season, and none due to his shoulder. The issue reportedly was only discovered in his exit physical following the regular season. His recovery is expected to last six months, which means the 2018 fifth-rounder should return just in time for training camp.
