Reid is active for Sunday's game against the Broncos. Reid will suit up for Sunday's regular-season finale, but he's unlikely to see the field as the Chiefs are set as the No. 1 seed in the AFC. Jaden Hicks will likely see the majority of snaps at strong safety instead of Reid.
Reid (coach's decision) is listed as doubtful ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Broncos. The 27-year-old from Stanford is likely to rest with the Chiefs' starters in Sunday's divisional contest, as Kansas City has already locked up the No. 1 seed in the AFC playoffs. Reid was productive in 16 games this season, recording 87 total tackles and nine passes defended, including two interceptions. Jaden Hicks is expected to serve as the Chiefs' top strong safety if Reid doesn't suit up in Week 18.
Reid recorded five tackles (all solo) and intercepted a pass in Wednesday's 29-10 Week 17 victory against the Steelers. Reid's interception halted a Pittsburgh drive that had reached KC's 18-yard line, as he picked off a Russell Wilson throw in the end zone. It was the second interception for the veteran safety this season and his first since Week 7 versus San Francisco. Reid also has notched 87 tackles on the campaign, eight shy of the career-high 95 he finished with in the regular season last year.
Reid recorded six tackles (five solo) during Sunday's 30-27 win at Carolina. After Sunday's performance, Reid has now logged at least six tackles in four of the Chiefs' last six contests. He has set a pace of production that could allow him to amass 100 tackles over the course of the season, and he'll be trying to keep his foot on the gas in Week 13 versus the Raiders.
Reid logged seven total tackles (three solo), including one tackle for loss, in Sunday's 16-14 win over the Broncos. Reid has now accumulated 50 total tackles and three passes defended, including one interception, through the Chiefs' first nine games this season. He's tied for the team lead in interceptions and ranks second in total tackles. Expect Reid to continue starting alongside Bryan Cook as part of the Chiefs' top safety duo in Week 11's matchup against the Bills.
Reid recorded nine tackles (six solo), an interception and a pass defensed in Sunday's 28-18 win over the 49ers. The safety also played on 93 percent of the defensive snaps. Reid has 35 tackles (24 solo), two passes defensed and an interception in 2024.
Reid tallied nine tackles (eight solo) during Thursday's 27-20 win over the Ravens. Reid played 100 percent of defensive snaps Week 1, finishing as Kansas City's second-leading tackler behind Jaylen Watson. Coming off a career 2023 season, Reid will look to continue building off his momentum Week 2 versus the Bengals.
The Chiefs took Reid (quad) off the active/non-football injury list Monday, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports. Reid returned to practice after a quad injury landed him on the NFI list last month. Now healthy, he will look to build off the career year he had last season.
Kansas City indicated that Reid was placed on the active/NFI list Sunday due to a quad injury, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports. Reid was a surprise addition to the NFI list, and the reason for the move is now clear. Head coach Andy Reid indicated that the safety is day-to-day, so it doesn't sound like the issue will put his status for the start of the season in jeopardy.
