Karene Reid: Everything you need to know

The Broncos activated Reid (hamstring) to the 53-man roster from injured reserve Tuesday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports. Reid had been a full participant in practice the last three weeks, so had he not been activated Tuesday his 21-day window would have expired, causing him to revert to season-ending IR. Instead, the undrafted rookie will stand to handle a role on special teams during the postseason, beginning in the AFC divisional round.

Reid (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports. Reid remains on injured reserve, though his 21-day practice window was opened Dec. 17, meaning the Broncos will need to make a decision on Reid early next week. The rookie linebacker has logged 171 snaps on special teams across 10 games this season, producing five tackles (four solo).

Reid (hamstring) has been ruled out for Thursday night's matchup with the Chiefs. Reid will remain sidelined in Week 17, although he was able to log multiple full practices again during the week. The safety will shift his focus to potentially returning for the team's final game of the regular season against the Chargers on Jan. 4.
