Won't be activated for Week 17 Reid (back) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Steelers, Kelsey Russo of the Browns' official site reports.

Impact Reid's practice window opened Dec. 17, but the linebacker has been unable to get back on the field since suffering a back injury in the Browns' preseason finale against the Rams. Now that he has been ruled out for Week 17, the 26-year-old's only shot to play regular-season football this year will be in a Week 18 matchup against the Bengals.

Out for Week 16 Reid (back) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Bills, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Impact Reid opened the Browns' week of practice with consecutive DNPs, so it's no surprise he won't return for the Week 16 contest. While the 26-year-old remains sidelined, expect Devin Bush to operate as the Browns' top strongside linebacker.

Impact The 26-year-old has missed all 14 of the Browns' games this season after being placed on IR with a back issue in late August. However, it now appears he's nearing a return. Once fully healthy, Reid is likely to play a reserve role in the Browns' linebacker corps.

Moves to IR Reid (back) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday.

Impact After playing 16 games with the Browns as an undrafted rookie in 2024, Reid made the team again in 2025 but will miss at least the first four games of the year. His primary utility will be on special teams once he returns.

Sidelined by back injury Reid (back) didn't practice Thursday, Kelsey Russo of the Browns' official site reports.

The linebacker played in 16 regular-season games with Cleveland in 2024, recording 23 total tackles (15 solo), including 0.5 sacks, while also adding two passes defensed and a fumble recovery.

Gets significant role Sunday Reid recorded eight tackles (four solo) and two passes defensed during Sunday's 34-13 loss at Washington.

Impact After starter Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah (undisclosed) left Sunday's contest early, Reid was thrust into the biggest role he's seen in his young career so far, and he filled in admirably. If both Owusu-Koramoah and Jordan Hicks (elbow) end up sitting out in Week 6, Reid would again be in line for an increased workload.

Signed from practice squad The Browns signed Reid to the active roster from the practice squad Saturday, Brad Stainbrook of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Reid earns a spot on Cleveland's 53-man roster, which has linebackers Tony Fields (ankle) and Mohamoud Diabate (hip) on IR until at least mid-October. Sunday's matchup against Jacksonville will be telling as to Reid's role, but it's probable he contributes mostly on special teams while holding down a reserve role on defense.
