Reid recorded eight tackles (four solo) and two passes defensed during Sunday's 34-13 loss at Washington. After starter Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah (undisclosed) left Sunday's contest early, Reid was thrust into the biggest role he's seen in his young career so far, and he filled in admirably. If both Owusu-Koramoah and Jordan Hicks (elbow) end up sitting out in Week 6, Reid would again be in line for an increased workload.
The Browns signed Reid to the active roster from the practice squad Saturday, Brad Stainbrook of 247Sports.com reports. Reid earns a spot on Cleveland's 53-man roster, which has linebackers Tony Fields (ankle) and Mohamoud Diabate (hip) on IR until at least mid-October. Sunday's matchup against Jacksonville will be telling as to Reid's role, but if he does play, it's probable he contributes mostly on special teams while holding down a reserve role on defense.
