D.J. REED NEWS

Logs 11 pass defenses in 2024 Reed finished the regular season with 64 tackles (52 solo), including 1.0 sacks, along with 11 pass defenses over 14 games (all starts).

Impact Reed had three one-week injury absences during the campaign but otherwise was a reliable part of New York's secondary, starting all 14 games in which he played. The veteran cornerback paced the Jets with 11 pass defenses, which was his second-highest total over his seven-year career. Reed has reached the end of the three-year contract he signed with New York in 2022, and he indicated in late December that he's ready to test the free-agency waters, per Al Iannazzone of Newsday.

Not playing vs. Jags Reed (groin) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Reed was listed as doubtful Friday but has been downgraded to out Saturday, which shouldn't come as a surprise given his activity in practice over the last few days. Qwan'tez Stiggers will likely serve as one of the Jets' starting outside corners with Reed sidelined. The former Kansas State alum will aim to return for the Week 16 matchup against the Rams on Sunday, Dec. 22.

Downgrades to doubtful Reed (groin) is listed as doubtful ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Jaguars.

Impact Interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich told reporters earlier that Reed would be questionable for Sunday's game, but Friday's injury report clarified Reed to be doubtful due to a groin issue. This comes as no surprise, considering the 28-year-old didn't practice Thursday or Friday. If Reed is sidelined in Week 15 as expected, Qwan'tez Stiggers will likely serve as one of the Jets' starting outside corners.

Officially questionable for Week 15 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.

Impact Ulbrich said he's "hopeful" Reed will be cleared to play Week 15, but it sounds like official word on the starting cornerback's status might not be made available until roughly 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. Reed could benefit from increased impact play opportunities if he's able to play Sunday, with Jacksonville quarterback Mac Jones having thrown five interceptions in his last four starts.

Moves past groin injury Reed (groin) was listed as a full participant in Wednesday's walkthrough, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Reed suffered a groin injury in Week 6 against the Bills, which was severe enough for him to be sidelined during the Jets' Week 7 loss to the Steelers. Reed's ability to practice in full Wednesday, even in a walkthrough, is a good sign that his absence will be limited to just one game. Barring any setback, the Jets should be with their top two corners in Reed and Sauce Gardner for Sunday's AFC East showdown against Drake Maye and the struggling Patriots on Sunday.

Won't play vs. Pittsburgh Reed (groin) is inactive for Sunday night's game against the Steelers.

Impact A groin injury from Week 6 against the Bills prevented Reed from participating in practice all week, and he will miss his second game of the regular season. Reed will need to return to the practice field if he wishes to return for Week 8 against the Patriots on Oct. 27. Brandin Echols is the top candidate to start at corner Sunday opposite Sauce Gardner.

Questionable for Sunday Reed (groin) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Steelers, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Impact 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. If the veteran corner is unable to play through his groin issue in Week 7, expect Brandin Echols and Qwan'tez Stiggers to see additional work in the Jets' secondary.

Estimated as DNP Reed (groin) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimation, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.

Impact 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. The veteran cornerback will likely need to upgrade to at least limited participation either Thursday or Friday in order to suit up for the Jets' Week 7 matchup against the Steelers.

Cleared from injury report Reed (knee) was a full participant during practice Wednesday.

Impact Reed has been dealing with a lingering knee issue which he was able to play through in Week 1, but kept him sidelined for Week 2. His ability to log a full practice Wednesday should put him in line to start Thursday against the Patriots; however, it may be worth noting he practiced in full last Friday before deciding he couldn't play against the Titans during pregame warmups.

Estimated as limited Reed (knee) was listed as limited in Monday's practice estimation, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.

Impact Reed was unable to suit up for the Jets' Week 2 win due to a lingering knee issue and is expected to remain limited throughout the week with New York playing Thursday night. If the 27-year-old still has not recovered in time for Week 3's matchup with the Patriots, Brandin Echols and Qwan'tez Stiggers project to see more work with the Jets' first-team secondary.
