Karene Reid - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Activated from IR The Broncos activated Reid (hamstring) to the 53-man roster from injured reserve Tuesday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.

Impact Reid had been a full participant in practice the last three weeks, so had he not been activated Tuesday his 21-day window would have expired, causing him to revert to season-ending IR. Instead, the undrafted rookie will stand to handle a role on special teams during the postseason, beginning in the AFC divisional round.

Out again for Week 18 Reid (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

Impact Reid returned to full practice Wednesday, marking his first full session since he was moved to injured reserve in Week 11.

The 25-year-old's primary role is composed largely of special teams snaps, and he will have to look towards Week 17 for a potential return game.

Designated to return from IR Reid (hamstring) was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.

Impact Reid has been sidelined since early November while nursing a hamstring injury, but he now appears to be approaching his return to action.

Put on IR The Broncos placed Reid (hamstring) on injured reserve Tuesday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.

Impact Reid injured his hamstring in the first half of last Thursday's win over Las Vegas and wasn't able to return to the contest. He'll now be required to miss a minimum of four games while on IR. Reid had been serving almost exclusively as a member of the special-teams unit, as he's logged just four defensive snaps over 10 games.
