25 Eric Reid SS

Reid had nine tackles (six solo) before being ejected late in the third quarter of Thursday's 52-21 loss at Pittsburgh.

Reid was called for unnecessary roughness on a late hit to the head/neck area as Ben Roethlisberger was giving himself up on a slide to prompt the ejection. The 26-year-old still managed to lead the team in tackles in what was an abysmal showing by the Panthers defense and the team overall. A more favorable matchup at Detroit awaits in Week 11, as the veteran safety will have some additional time to rest his shoulder sprain following the Thursday game.

Reid (shoulder) is active for Thursday's game against the Steelers, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Reid was initially listed as questionable for the Week 10 contest after logging three straight limited practice sessions, but appears to have recovered well enough from his shoulder injury to suit up. The veteran safety will attempt to contain Ben Roethlisberger and the Steelers' air attack.

Reid (shoulder) carries the questionable tag ahead of Thursday's game against the Steelers, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

Reid practiced in a limited capacity each of the three days this week. When Reid initially sustained the injury Sunday against the Buccaneers, he was able to return to the game. Reid looks to be on track to play Thursday -- but if he misses time, Collin Jones could see an increase in work.

Reid (shoulder) was a limited participant in Tuesday's practice, but is on track to play Thursday against the Steelers, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

Reid suffered a shoulder sprain during Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, though it doesn't appear to be anything serious. The 26-year-old safety has 27 tackles and interception in five games since joining the Panthers.

Reid suffered a shoulder sprain during Monday's 42-28 win over the Buccaneers, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

Reid initially left the field after sustaining a right shoulder sprain, but quickly returned to Sunday's win over Tampa Bay. It's encouraging that the veteran safety was not sidelined due to the injury, but Reid's participation in practice next week nonetheless warrants monitoring.
