Reed’s addition to the injury report creates a fresh secondary availability question ahead of Thursday’s short‑week matchup in Buffalo.

In this brief: 3 sections 1 min read

- Source: Lions’ estimated practice/walkthrough report for Sept. 15, 2026
- D.J. Reed added to the report Tuesday after not being listed Monday
- Participation designation: Limited participant (LP) at Tuesday walkthrough
- Reed started vs. New Orleans and played heavy snaps in Week 1
- Limited designation on a short week raises real chance he could be limited or inactive Thursday
- Secondary already missing safeties Brian Branch and Kerby Joseph (PUP), increasing the impact of any cornerback absences
- Walkthrough participation levels are estimates; Wednesday’s official report will be clearer
- Coaches will provide injury updates in Wednesday/Thursday media availability
- If Reed is limited or out, roles for Rock Ya-Sin and other CBs would expand on short notice
