SEPTEMBER 26, 2021 • YOUTUBE

Will play Sunday Reed (calf) is active for Sunday's game against Tennessee.

Impact Reed has had a number of lower leg injuries early this season but appears ready to go in Week 2. He should get the start at left corner.

SEPTEMBER 19, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Status up in air for Week 2 Reed (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest versus the Titans, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact Like he was during Week 1 prep, Reed began this week as a full participant with a foot issue on the injury report. He was left off the report entirely Thursday but showed up again Friday as limited with a calf concern. The development could indicate an injury suffered at practice, but there may not be any clarity on Reed's status until 90 minutes before Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.

SEPTEMBER 17, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to start Reed is expected to start at left cornerback in the season opener against the Colts, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

Impact Tre Flowers surprisingly won the right cornerback role, while Reed should hang onto the left corner role over Ahkello Witherspoon. Reed -- who primarily played on the right side last year -- recorded 62 tackles, seven pass breakups and two interceptions in 2020. The competition between Reed, Flowers and Witherspoon may be ongoing.

Back from groin injury Reed (groin) participated at Tuesday's practice, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Reed has been dealing with the groin issue for more than two weeks but has now been cleared to practice. He appeared in 10 games for the Seahawks in 2020 and had somewhat of a breakout campaign with 62 total tackles, seven pass breakups and two interceptions.

AUGUST 25, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Managing groin issue Reed has been sidelined recently due to a groin injury, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

Impact 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.

AUGUST 14, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact While coach Pete Carroll didn't specify the nature of Reed's injury Sunday, he said the issue is considered minor. It wouldn't be surprising to see the defensive back return to practice in the coming days as the Seahawks prepare for Saturday's preseason matchup against the Raiders.

AUGUST 9, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Should retain starting job Reed is expected to secure the starting right cornerback job in training camp, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

Impact Reed stands at 5-foot-9, so he's been tested often by quarterbacks in camp. However, the 24-year-old has answered the call, showing his explosiveness and strength can make up for his smaller frame. Last season, Reed played 10 games (eight starts) and finished with 62 tackles (46 solo), seven pass breakups and two interceptions. Reed also served as the primary kick returner last season, averaging a team-best 27.4 yards per return. Ahkello Witherspoon is expected to win the left cornerback job.

Takes starting job in 2020 Reed played 10 games (eight starts) and produced 62 tackles, seven pass breakups and two interceptions during the 2020 season.

Impact Reed was claimed off waivers from the 49ers back in August as he was recovering from a torn pectoral muscle. The third-year cornerback fully recovered and made his Seahawks debut in November. Position mates Shaquill Griffin, Tre Flowers and Quinton Dunbar all battled injuries this season, so Reed made multiple starts and ended up surpassing both Flowers and Dunbar on the depth chart before they could return from their respective injuries. Reed drew high praise from head coach Pete Carroll along the way, and he's poised to lock down a starting cornerback job with the team next season.

D.J. Reed hits turbo for explosive 58-yard return to start the second half Seattle Seahawks cornerback D.J. Reed hits turbo for an explosive 58-yard kick return to start the second half.

JANUARY 10, 2021 • NFL.COM

Making most of opportunity Reed posted six tackles (four solo), three pass breakups and an interception in Sunday's 20-15 win over the Football Team.

Impact 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.

DECEMBER 21, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Set to start on outside Sunday Reed is expected to start at outside cornerback for Sunday's game versus the Giants following news that Tre Flowers (hamstring) has been listed as doubtful, Curtis Crabtree of Spor...

Impact Reed started three games at slot corner earlier this year when Ugo Amadi was out. Amadi is back, but Quinton Dunbar (knee) is still on IR, and Flowers isn't expected to play Sunday. Reed will get his first shot on the outside as a result. He has let up 9.1 yards per target and a 77.8 completion percentage through five games. There could be some growing pains at the new position, which may be eased with Colt McCoy slated to start under center for the Giants.

DECEMBER 5, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Gearing up for MNF Reed (foot) is active for Monday's game versus the Eagles.

Impact 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.

DECEMBER 1, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

DNP on projected injury report Reed (foot) was listed as a non-participant on Thursday's estimated injury report, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

Impact Reed has until Monday night to get his body ready for a matchup against the Eagles, but a DNP on Thursday is less than encouraging. The 2018 fifth-round draft choice of San Francisco was not noted as having an injury following Seattle's 28-21 Thursday night victory over Arizona in Week 11, so his status is certainly one to be mindful of going into the weekend. Reed has started three straight games for Seattle, collecting 21 total tackles, a fumble recovery and a pass deflection over the past two weeks.

NOVEMBER 26, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Racks up 11 tackles Reed recorded a game-high 11 tackles (nine solo) and a pass defensed in Thursday's 28-21 win over Arizona.

Impact The 21 points Seattle allowed was a season-best for the team's defense, and Reed led the way by posting a season high in tackles while hitting double digits in the category for a second consecutive game. The 24-year-old safety has started to see consistent playing time alongside Quandre Diggs and Jamal Adams, and Reed is making the most of the opportunity by contributing both as a run defender and in coverage.

NOVEMBER 20, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Full speed ahead Reed (ankle) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

Impact 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.

NOVEMBER 12, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Injury outlook optimistic Coach Pete Carroll said that Reed looked good Monday after suffering an ankle sprain in Sunday's loss to the Bills, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle reports.

Impact Reed handled an 85 percent snap share Sunday, covering the slot receiver while Ugo Amadi (hamstring) was inactive. He left the game late with an ankle injury, though, and his status is uncertain for this week's clash against the Rams. Carroll downplayed the injury during Monday's practice, but Wednesday's official injury report should provide a better update on his condition. Even if Reed plays against the Rams, Amadi could return to action and push him back to a reserve role.

NOVEMBER 9, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Set for season debut Reed (pectoral/hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the 49ers.

Impact The 23-year-old was activated from the non-football injury list Saturday and will immediately be in uniform for the Seahawks. Reed saw most of his time on special teams in 2019, but he could be used in the secondary with Shaquill Griffin (concussion), Jamal Adams (groin/illness) and Ugo Amadi (hamstring) inactive this week.

NOVEMBER 1, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Lifted from NFI list Reed (pectoral/hamstring) was activated from the non-football injury list Saturday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact 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.

NOVEMBER 1, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Returning to practice Reed (pectoral) received the return designation and will be back at practice this week, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact The 23-year-old has been on the NFI list all season after suffer the torn pectoral in early July. Reed figures to provide depth in the secondary once he's ready to join the active roster.

OCTOBER 19, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Shifts to NFI list Reed (pectoral) was placed on the reserve/non-football injury list Saturday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact The Seahawks claimed Reed off waivers with full knowledge of his injury, and they're willing to be patient as he rehabs from the torn pectoral muscle he sustained in July. Reed will target a November return, and he'll likely serve exclusively in a special-teams role to start out in Seattle.

SEPTEMBER 6, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Claimed by Seattle The Seahawks claimed Reed (pectoral) off waivers Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact The ex-San Francisco safety remains in the NFC West after finding a new home. Reed is working to recover from a torn pectoral suffered early July, so he'll stay on Seattle's active/non-football injury list until he receives full medical clearance.

AUGUST 5, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Cut loose by 49ers The 49ers waived Reed (pectoral) with a non-football injury designation, per the NFL's transaction log.

Impact Reed kicked off camp on the active/non-football injury list, the result of a torn pectoral from early July. After a week on the list, he's been jettisoned from the 49ers entirely. It's unclear if the 49ers intend to bring back the safety, but he's not expected to be healthy enough to play until December by all indications.

AUGUST 4, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Will be placed on IR 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...

Impact 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.

AUGUST 3, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Suffers torn pectoral Reed sustained a torn pectoral on Thursday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact 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.
