Texans' Jaylen Reed: Hurts knee, iffy to return Monday
Reed (knee) is questionable to return to Monday's wild-card game against Pittsburgh.
Reed ended the regular season on IR with a forearm injury but was able to return for Monday's wild-card game. However, he's now dealing with a knee issue and isn't certain to re-enter the game. Reed drew a start at safety for the Texans on Monday, and Myles Bryant entered in his place following the injury.

Texans' Jaylen Reed: Records three stops vs. Steelers
Reed (knee) tallied three tackles (one solo) during Monday's 30-6 wild-card playoff round win over Pittsburgh.
Reed was briefly forced off the field Monday, but per Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2, he managed to return to action. The rookie sixth-round pick ended the regular season on IR but managed to return to action in time for Houston's playoff opener, and while he could be listed on the injury report ahead of Sunday's divisional-round matchup on the road against New England, it appears Reed will be able to play through any issues relating to his knee.

Texans' Jaylen Reed: Full participant in practice
Reed (forearm) was a full participant in Houston's practice Saturday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Reed is trending toward making his return after having been designated to return from injured reserve earlier in the week. The 22-year-old has been sidelined for the last five weeks but should resume his role as a special teamer and depth defender if he manages to suit up for Monday's wild-card matchup versus the Steelers.

Texans' Jaylen Reed: Designated for return from IR
Reed (forearm) was designated for return from injured reserve Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Reed can resume practicing, though Houston would need to follow up with a roster move adding him to the active roster for the safety to be eligible to play in Monday's wild-card round road game against the Steelers. The rookie sixth-round pick dressed for seven games in the regular season but has been on injured reserve since Dec. 6.

Texans' Jaylen Reed: Lands on IR
The Texans placed Reed (forearm) on injured reserve Saturday.
Reed will be forced to miss at least four games after breaking a metal plate in his forearm during the team's Week 13 win over the Colts. With the 22-year-old sidelined, Jalen Pitre is expected to shift over to safety alongside Calen Bullock, while Myles Bryant should fill in as the starting slot cornerback.

Texans' Jaylen Reed: Won't play vs. Kansas City
Reed (forearm) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.
Reed was unable to practice all week while recovering from a procedure for a broken metal plate in his forearm that he suffered during the Texans' Week 13 win over the Colts. A timeline for his return hasn't been established, but his next opportunity to play is Week 15 against the Cardinals on Sunday, Dec. 14. Reed got the start safety in Week 13 against the Colts, and in his absence, Jalen Pitre is likely to shift over to safety alongside Calen Bullock while Myles Bryant serves as the slot corner.

Texans' Jaylen Reed: Breaks plate in forearm
Reed needs surgery after breaking a metal plate in his forearm during Sunday's 20-16 win over the Colts, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Reed had a metal plate in his forearm from his time at Penn State, and it was damaged while trying to bring down Jonathan Taylor in the Week 13 win. The rookie safety had just earned a starting spot after recording 12 total tackles and one fumble recovery in the Week 12 victory over the Bills. It's currently unclear how long Reed will be sidelined for, but it's unlikely that he's able to return for the Week 14 matchup against the Chiefs on Sunday.

Texans' Jaylen Reed: Ruled out with forearm issue
Reed (forearm) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's contest with the Colts.
Reed made a first-half exit after attempting to make a third-down stop, and the forearm injury is severe enough that he will not be able to return. Myles Bryant will likely continue to take snaps at free safety in the absence of the starting defensive back.

Texans' Jaylen Reed: Exits with forearm injury
Reed (forearm) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Colts.
Reed left in the second quarter after sustaining a forearm injury attempting to stop a third-down run by Jonathan Taylor. The safety managed to log two total tackles before his untimely exit. The Texans are thin at safety, so other defensive backs like Tremon Smith and Myles Bryant will likely have to fill in if Reed is unable to return.

Texans' Jaylen Reed: Game-high 12 stops in TNF win
Reed posted 12 tackles (nine solo) and a fumble recovery during the Texans' 23-19 win over the Bills on Thursday.
Reed mostly served on special teams over his five games prior to Week 12, but he was thrust into a starting position at safety after practice squad member Jalen Mills started against the Titans in Week 11. Reed took advantage of the opportunity, leading both teams with 12 tackles while recovering a Khalil Shakir fumble late in the third quarter that led to a 26-yard field goal by Ka'imi Fairbairn seven plays later. With Jimmie Ward (foot) still on the PUP list and M.J. Stewart (quadriceps) out for the rest of the season, Reed could be the Texans' second starting safety alongside Calen Bullock over the coming weeks.

Reed (knee) is active for Monday night's game versus Seattle.
Reed is all geared up to make his NFL debut after missing the team's first five games of the year while on injured reserve with a knee injury. The 2025 sixth-round pick will operate as a top reserve option behind M.J. Stewart and Calen Bullock at safety against the Seahawks.

Texans' Jaylen Reed: Making NFL debut in Week 7?
Reed (knee) was activated to the Texans' active roster Monday.
The rookie safety from Penn State was activated to Houston's active roster Monday after missing the team's first five games due to a knee injury. He's still listed as questionable for Monday night's matchup against the Seahawks, but it appears he's trending toward making his NFL debut in Week 7. If active, Reed is expected to play a depth role in the Texans' secondary, serving as the team's No. 2 strong safety.

Reed was designated to return from IR on Wednesday and ended the week on a high note with a full practice Friday.

Texans' Jaylen Reed: Returning from injury soon
Reed (ankle) was designated to return from the injured reserve list Wednesday.
Reed now has 21 days to be added to the Texans' active roster before reverting to IR. The rookie safety from Penn State has yet to appear in an NFL game after recording 98 total tackles, including seven tackles for loss, and three interceptions during his final collegiate season. Once healthy, he's expected to serve as one of the Texans' top reserve safeties.

Texans' Jaylen Reed: Expected to come off IR
Reed (ankle) is expected to be activated from the injured reserve list this week, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
This is the first week that Reed is eligible to return, after he opened the season on the IR with a designation to return. If the Texans eventually make it official, Reed's 21-day window will kick in. Once Reed is ready to return to the field, the 2025 sixth-round draft pick is expected to be a backup on defense and serve as a regular on special teams. Reed was initially hurt in training camp during a special teams portion of practice.
