Good to go Reid (knee) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

Impact Reid has missed consecutive games due to a knee injury. Thursday's full practice was enough to clear the strong safety of any injury designation, and he will be good to go for Sunday's game against the Jets. The return of the starter means that Jordan Howden will likely return to a depth role in the Saints' secondary.

Limited practice Wednesday Reid (knee) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.

Impact Reid has been sidelined for the team's last two contests while dealing with a knee issue, but his ability to practice in any capacity to open the week is a positive sign for his chances to play in Week 16. The safety will have two more chances to log a full practice prior to Sunday's matchup with the Jets.

Won't play Week 15 Reid (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Panthers.

Impact Reid was given the questionable tag for Week 15 after logging a limited practice Friday, but he'll end up missing a second consecutive game due to a knee injury. Jordan Howden will likely start at safety alongside Jonas Sanker in Reid's absence.

Could return for Week 15 Reid (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Panthers, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.

Impact Reid upgraded from a DNP on Wednesday to limited practice sessions Thursday and Friday, suggesting he's trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's divisional matchup. The first-year Saint is an integral part of the team's defense, recording 60 total tackles and four passes defensed, including one pick-six, across 12 appearances this season. If active for the Week 15 contest, Reid is expected to operate as New Orleans' top strong safety.

Upgrades to limited Thursday Reid (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Reid was unable to practice Wednesday after missing last Sunday's win over the Buccaneers with a knee injury. The safety's upgrade to limited participation Thursday is a good sign for his chances of suiting up for Sunday's game against the Panthers. If the 28-year-old must miss consecutive games, Jordan Howden will likely log another start at strong safety.

Starts week as DNP Reid (knee) did not participate at practice Wednesday.

Impact Reid was sidelined for Week 14 at Tampa Bay due to a knee injury he suffered in Week 13 at Miami, and he's now in danger of having to sit out again in Week 15. He'll probably have to return to practice Thursday or Friday to have any chance to play Sunday versus the Panthers.

Out for Sunday Reid (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Buccaneers, Erin Summers of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The 28-year-old didn't practice all week due to a knee injury and is now in line to miss his first game of the season Sunday. Reid is an integral portion of the Saints' defense, recording 60 total tackles and four passes defensed, including one pick-six, over 12 appearances. While he's sidelined in Week 14, expect Jordan Howden to start at strong safety.

DNP on Wednesday Reid (knee) did not practice Wednesday.

Impact Coach Kellen Moore added that Reid will not be placed on injured reserve with his knee injury that he suffered in last Sunday's loss to the Dolphins. Reid could be looking at missing games, but it sounds like he has a good chance to play again this season.

DECEMBER 4 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out with knee Reid (knee) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

Impact Despite initially attempting to retake the field, Reid's injury proved to be too much to continue to play. In the starter's absence, Jordan Howard should finish the game at strong safety.

Leaves, returns, leaves again Reid has a knee injury and is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Matthew Paras of The Times-Picayune reports.

Impact The safety tried to return for one play but then had to leave the field again, per Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football. Reid had one tackle before exiting. Jordan Howden should see more snaps in his absence.

Pick-six in Week 12 loss Reid posted seven tackles (three solo) and a pick-six during the Saints' 24-10 loss to the Falcons on Sunday.

Impact Reid picked of a Kirk Cousins pass that bounced off the hands of tight end Kyle Pitts, which Reid was able to return for a 49-yard pick-six in what ended up being the Saints' lone touchdown in Sunday's loss. It was the first interception of the season for Reid and the second pick-six of his career, the first of which took place during his rookie season in 2018 as a member of the Texans. The veteran safety has logged 59 tackles (33 solo), including 0.5 sacks, and four pass defenses through 11 regular-season games.
