Reed (groin) was a full participant at practice Wednesday, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports. After sitting out of Sunday's game at Jacksonville with a groin issue, Reed now appears to be on track to play in Week 16 versus the Rams. He's still looking for his first interception of the season with just three games left to play.
Reed (groin) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Reed was listed as doubtful Friday but has been downgraded to out Saturday, which shouldn't come as a surprise given his lack of activity in practice over the last few days. Qwan'tez Stiggers will likely serve as one of the Jets' starting outside corners with Reed sidelined. The former Kansas State alum will aim to return for the Week 16 matchup against the Rams on Sunday, Dec. 22.
Reed (groin) is listed as doubtful ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Jaguars. Interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich told reporters earlier that Reed would be questionable for Sunday's game, but Friday's injury report clarified Reed to be doubtful due to a groin issue. This comes as no surprise, considering the 28-year-old didn't practice Thursday or Friday. If Reed is sidelined in Week 15 as expected, Qwan'tez Stiggers will likely serve as one of the Jets' starting outside corners.
Jets interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich said Friday that Reed (groin) is officially questionable for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports. Ulbrich said he's "hopeful" Reed will be cleared to play Week 15, but it sounds like official word on the starting cornerback's status might not be made available until roughly 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. Reed could benefit from increased impact play opportunities if he's able to play Sunday, with Jacksonville quarterback Mac Jones having thrown five interceptions in his last four starts.
Reed finished with six tackles (five solo) and a pass defensed in Sunday's 32-26 loss to the Dolphins. The starting cornerback also played on all 66 defensive snaps. Reed has played on more than 80 percent of the defensive snaps in 10 of the 11 games he's suited up for this season. On the year, he has 50 tackles (40 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and 10 pass breakups.
Reed recorded seven total tackles (four solo) in Sunday's 26-21 loss to Seattle. Reed was busy man in the secondary, securing his highest tackle total since Week 1 versus the 49ers. The cornerback is now up to 44 total tackles (35 solo), including 1.0 sacks, while also notching nine passes defensed over 10 contests in 2024.
Reed has returned to Thursday's game against the Texans after being evaluated for a possible concussion, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports. The cornerback recorded two solo tackles, including 1.0 sacks and a tackle for a loss, and a pass breakup before exiting. Reed had 24 tackles (18 solo) and seven pass breakups in the six previous games he played in this season, and he played on 98-100 percent of the defensive snaps in five of those six.
Reed (head) is questionable to return to Thursday's game against the Texans. The cornerback recorded two solo tackles, including 1.0 sacks and a tackle for a loss, and a pass breakup before exiting. Reed posted 24 tackles (18 solo) and seven pass breakups in the six previous games he played in this season. Brandin Echols is his backup.
Reed (groin) was listed as a full participant in Wednesday's walkthrough, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports. Reed suffered a groin injury in Week 6 against the Bills, which was severe enough for him to be sidelined during the Jets' Week 7 loss to the Steelers. Reed's ability to practice in full Wednesday, even in a walkthrough, is a good sign that his absence will be limited to just one game. Barring any setback, the Jets should be with their top two corners in Reed and Sauce Gardner for Sunday's AFC East showdown against Drake Maye and the struggling Patriots on Sunday.
