Another Blow for Lions: DJ Reed Lands on Injured List
16 Sep
Summary
- Cornerback DJ Reed added to injured list with a foot injury.
- Blake Miller and Christian Mahogany also missed recent practices.
- Reed's contract with the Lions was for three years; he played 8 games in 2025.
The Detroit Lions' injury report has grown longer, with cornerback DJ Reed being added due to a foot injury. This news comes shortly after their Week 1 victory and ahead of a Week 2 Thursday night game. Offensive tackle Blake Miller, a 2026 draft selection, and Christian Mahogany have also missed recent practices, further stretching the team's resources.
Reed, who is in his second season with the Lions, signed a three-year contract prior to last season but was limited to eight games in 2025. His career began with the San Francisco 49ers, where he played special teams and cornerback, eventually contributing to their Super Bowl LIV appearance.
After being waived by San Francisco due to an injury, Reed joined Seattle in August 2020, quickly becoming a significant player and starter. He later played for the Jets before signing with the Lions in 2025. The ongoing injury situation puts additional pressure on the team as they navigate their early-season schedule.
