Craig Reynolds - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Reverting to practice squad Reynolds reverted to the Commanders' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Impact Reynolds took two carries for four yards during Washington's 30-12 loss against the Colts in Week 4. Whether he's brought up again in Week 5 may depend on the availability of Rachaad White (shoulder).

Elevated for Week 4 The Commanders elevated Reynolds from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

Impact It will be Reynold's first elevation to the active roster this season, and he'll provide the Commanders with backfield depth for Sunday's game in London in the absence of Rachaad White (shoulder). Reynolds spent the last five years with the Lions before joining the Commanders in mid-August, though he was unable to crack the 53-man roster at the end of training camp.

Lands on Commanders' PS The Commanders signed Reynolds to the practice squad Monday, Zach Selby of the team's official site reports.

Impact Reynolds was released by the Commanders on Sunday but at least earned a spot on the practice squad. The 30-year-old has appeared in 57 regular-season games for the Commanders, Jaguars and Lions throughout his career. However, he hasn't done much statistically, rushing for 658 yards and one touchdown off 154 attempts, adding 25 catches for 258 yards. Reynolds could be elevated at some point during the 2026 season, though that move would likely be only for depth purposes.

Fails to make Washington's roster Reynolds was cut by the Commanders on Sunday, Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic reports.

Impact Reynolds failed to make Washington's 53-man roster, though Jhabvala notes that the Commanders may have interest in adding him to the practice squad if the running back doesn't sign elsewhere. The 30-year-old running back has appeared in 60 regular-season games, split between the Commanders, Jaguars and Lions.

AUGUST 29 • Associated Press

Catches on with Washington The Commanders signed Reynolds to a contract Monday, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Reynolds was a free agent for the entire offseason, but he will get a look with the Commanders to give the team some backfield depth while Jeremy McNichols works through a quadriceps injury. Reynolds mostly served on special teams across seven regular-season games with the Lions in 2025 before being waived by the team in late November. He ended the season on the Patriots' practice squad injured list due to an unspecified injury.

AUGUST 18 • ROTOWIRE

Placed on injured list The Patriots placed Reynolds (undisclosed) on the practice squad injured list Wednesday.

Impact Reynolds will have to miss at least New England's next three games while working his way back to full health, so his next chance to be elevated from the practice squad and contribute won't arrive until the playoffs. He hasn't yet suited up for a game with the Patriots since having joined the team's practice squad in November.

Set to join New England Reynolds is slated to sign with the Patriots' practice squad Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Impact Reynolds was cut by the Lions on Wednesday after he'd been a healthy scratch in recent weeks. A running back by trade, Reynolds has mostly played special teams during his seven-year NFL career.

NOVEMBER 28, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Loses roster spot Reynolds was waived by the Lions on Wednesday.

Impact Reynolds had been a healthy scratch for each of Detroit's last two games. The team shuffled its roster to add needed tight end depth, leaving Reynolds as the odd-man out.

NOVEMBER 27, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Healthy scratch again Reynolds (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Impact Reynolds will be a healthy scratch for consecutive weeks, with the team seemingly continuing to try rookie running back Sione Vaki at third-string running back and as the second kick returner. The Lions will once again roll with Jahmyr Gibbs, David Montgomery, Sione Vaki, and Jacob Saylors at running back for Sunday's game.

NOVEMBER 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Taking seat in Week 11 Reynolds (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday night's contest against the Eagles.

Impact Reynolds will be a healthy scratch for the second time this season after also having done so in Week 3 versus Baltimore. Detroit will roll with Jahmyr Gibbs, David Montgomery, Sione Vaki and Jacob Saylors at running back for Sunday Night Football.

NOVEMBER 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Returning for Week 10 Reynolds (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Commanders.

Impact Reynolds is returning to his third running back role after a one-game absence due to the injury. He has just three carries for four yards and no touchdowns in six games this year.

NOVEMBER 9, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Chance to return Week 10 Reynolds (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Commanders.

Impact Reynolds logged a trio of limited practices during Week 10 prep, and he has a chance of returning from a one-game absence due to a hamstring injury. Even if he were cleared to play against Washington, Reynolds carries very little value from a fantasy perspective for as long as he operates behind Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery. Sione Vaki is slated to step up as the Lions' RB3 if Reynolds is unable to play Sunday.

NOVEMBER 7, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Logs limited practice Thursday Reynolds (hamstring) was a limited participant in practice Thursday.

Impact Reynolds has recorded back-to-back limited practices after missing Week 9 with a hamstring injury. With another positive injury designation Friday, the 29-year-old running back could be on track to return in Week 10. Should he return, he would likely contribute mostly to special teams, as he has spent most of the season behind running back duo Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery.

NOVEMBER 6, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Out for Week 9 Reynolds (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Vikings.

Impact Reynolds carries zero fantasy value and has mainly been glued to special teams this season behind Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery.

OCTOBER 31, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Unable to practice Thursday Reynolds (hamstring) isn't practicing Thursday, Justin Rogers of Detroit Football Network reports.

Impact After being listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's practice estimate, Reynolds remains sidelined for Thursday's practice. After hurting his hamstring in Monday's win over the Buccaneers, Detroit's third-string running back is in danger of sitting out Sunday against the Vikings.

OCTOBER 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Estimated as DNP on Wednesday The Lions listed Reynolds (hamstring) as a DNP on Wednesday's estimated practice report.

Impact The Lions didn't hold a practice Wednesday, so Reynold's practice participation over the next two days will provide clarity on his chances of playing against the Vikings on Sunday. He sustained a hamstring injury against the Buccaneers in Week 7, but he's had extra time to recover thanks to the Lions' Week 8 bye. He's mostly served on special teams this season, but his absence would mean the Lions would have less backfield depth behind Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery.

OCTOBER 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Still dealing with hamstring issue Reynolds (hamstring) was not available for team drills during Detroit's practice Tuesday, Colton Pouncy of The Athletic reports.

Impact Reynolds suffered a hamstring injury during the first half in Week 7 versus the Buccaneers, and even with the benefit of a Week 8 bye, it's still bothering him as the Lions begin preparations for Week 9. His participation at practice will be worth noting when Detroit publishes its first official practice report of the week Wednesday.

OCTOBER 28, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable to return Monday Reynolds (hamstring) is questionable to return to Monday night's contest against the Buccaneers.

Impact Reynolds suffered an apparent hamstring injury in the first half, and his status for the rest of the game is now up in the air. The running back operates almost exclusively as a special-teams option, so his absence doesn't carry much of an impact on offense.

Injured Lions starters Taylor Decker, Jack Campbell will play vs Ravens Running back Craig Reynolds and defensive tackle Mekhi Wingo are among the Lions' inactives, but a lot of starters are good to go.

SEPTEMBER 22, 2025 • FREEP.COM

Healthy scratch Week 3 Reynolds (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday's game against the Ravens.

Impact Reynolds has mostly served in a special-teams role through the first two games of the regular season. He'll observe Monday's game in street clothes as the Lions roll with a four-man backfield of Jahmyr Gibbs, David Montgomery, Sione Vaki and Jacob Saylors. Reynolds' next opportunity to play is Week 4 against the Browns on Sunday.

SEPTEMBER 22, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Limited to special teams Reynolds didn't record a touch in Sunday's 27-13 loss to the Packers.

Impact The 29-year-old from Kutztown was limited to special-teams work in the Lions' regular-season opener, logging 11 snaps in that phase and none on offense. He appears firmly behind both Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery in Detroit's backfield, so he likely won't see much, if any, meaningful offensive work barring an injury. Reynolds is projected to play a similar role in the Lions' Week 2 contest against the Bears.
