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.
ANALYSIS
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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Visits Baltimore
Reed had a visit with the Ravens, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Reed is likely to be drafted in the middle rounds of the 2025 NFL Draft, with Dane Brugler of The Athletic giving the safety out of Penn State a fourth-round grade. Baltimore would be an intriguing landing spot for Reed, who posted 98 tackles and three interceptions at Penn State in 2024. The Ravens don't have a clear starter at free safety next to strong safety Kyle Hamilton.
