Linebacker Brooks Reed, who used to play for the Houston Texans, apparently looks like he may return to action against his former team on Sunday.

As D. Orlando Ledbetter of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported, head coach Dan Quinn believes reed, who has been dealing with a groin injury, could return to action in Week 4.

The Falcons defense has been solid to this point, but adding an additional playmaker like Reed is obviously always welcomed. It'll be interesting to see what type of role Reed plays if he returns to face his old team.
