Lions' D.J. Reed: Questionable for Week 12
Rotowire
Reed (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Reed was designated for return from injured reserve last week, opening his 21-day practice window. His potential return would be a big boost to the lineup after Terrion Arnold (concussion) was ruled out for Sunday's game. Amik Robertson and Rock Ya-Sin played virtually every defensive snap at cornerback last Sunday against the Eagles.

Lions' D.J. Reed: Chance to return Week 11
Rotowire
Reed (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles.
Reed has a chance to return from a five-game absence due to a hamstring injury that caused him to land on injured reserve in early October. He was limited in all three practices during Week 11 prep, and he would have to be activated from injured reserve Saturday in order to be available for Sunday's road game. Reed's return would be timely for the Lions, given that Terrion Arnold (concussion) has been ruled out and Amik Robertson (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Week 11.

Rotowire
Reed finished the regular season with 64 tackles (52 solo), including 1.0 sacks, along with 11 pass defenses over 14 games (all starts).

Rotowire
Reed (groin) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Reed was listed as doubtful Friday but has been downgraded to out Saturday, which shouldn't come as a surprise given his lack of activity in practice over the last few days.

Jets interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich said Friday that Reed (groin) is officially questionable for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Reed (groin) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Steelers, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Reed didn't practice all week after sustaining a groin injury in the Jets' Week 6 loss to the Bills, but Friday's injury report suggests that he still has a chance to suit up Sunday night.

Reed sustained a groin injury in the Jets' Week 6 loss to the Bills on Monday night, so it's no surprise he was estimated as a DNP on Wednesday.
