News

  • Returns to small offensive role

    Reynolds logged three offensive snaps during Sunday's win over the Chargers.

    Analysis: With David Montgomery back in action, Reynolds returned to logging more than half of the available snaps on specials teams, just as he had when Montgomery was healthy early in the season. This arrangement presumably won't change as long as Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs stay healthy.

  • Impresses with extended opportunity

    Reynolds rushed 14 times for 74 yards and brought in his only target for 13 yards in the Lions' 26-14 win over the Raiders on Monday.

    Analysis: Reynolds parlayed a season-high tally in rush attempts into his best yardage total of the campaign. He consistently gained positive chunks of yardage with his carries, further cementing his status as one of the best No. 3 backs in the league. While he'll presumably be relegated to a smaller role on offense once David Montgomery (ribs) returns following a Week 9 bye, Reynolds may have earned himself at least a slightly larger role moving forward even when the backfield is at full health.

  • Limited to four touches

    Reynolds recorded three carries for 16 yards in Sunday's 38-6 loss to the Ravens. He added one catch for nine yards.

    Analysis: The Lions backfield was in flux heading into Sunday's matchup, though Reynolds ultimately ended up as the second back behind Jahmyr Gubbs with David Montgomery (ribs) sidelined. His role was limited even so, as Detroit was willing to get Gibbs heavily involved as both a rusher and receiver. Reynolds will return to primarily a special teams role once Montgomery can retake the field.

  • Active in Week 7

    Reynolds (hamstring/toe) is listed as active Sunday at Baltimore.

    Analysis: Despite being capped to two limited sessions during Week 7 prep, Reynolds will gut through the hamstring and toe injuries that he dealt with in advance of this contest. With David Montgomery (ribs) sidelined, the Lions likely will lean on rookie first-round pick Jahmyr Gibbs (hamstring) out of the backfield, but Reynolds also should get some run. Through six games this season, Reynolds is averaging 3.7 yards on his 24 carries and has gathered in all three targets for 26 yards.

  • Expected to play Sunday

    Reynolds (hamstring/toe) is expected to suit up Sunday versus Baltimore, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Reynolds, who is officially listed as questionable, is expected to be on the field Sunday along with rookie Jahmyr Gibbs, who has already been cleared to return from a two-game absence. Though Gibbs will be the favorite to lead Detroit's backfield, Reynolds could handle a significant role on early downs with David Montgomery (ribs) already ruled out. However, Reynolds' involvement could be more dependent on game script, as Gibbs would likely dominate the snaps if the Lions should fall behind…read more

  • Questionable for Week 7

    Reynolds (hamstring/toe) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Baltimore, Eric Woodyard of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Reynolds was unable to practice Wednesday due to hamstring and toe injuries, but his return to some drills Thursday and Friday has left the door open for him to suit up this weekend. Meanwhile, David Montgomery (ribs) was ruled out, and Jahmyr Gibbs (hamstring) has been cleared to return from a two-game absence. Considering the situation, Gibbs will be the clear-cut top RB option for the Lions in Week 7, but Reynolds also should be the mix, assuming he's active. Reynolds' availability will…read more

  • Officially limited Thursday

    Reynolds (hamstring/toe) was limited at Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: The Lions held out Reynolds from Wednesday's walkthrough due to hamstring and toe injuries, but he joined rookie running back Jahmyr Gibbs (hamstring) as a limited participant one day later. With David Montgomery (ribs) seemingly trending toward inactive status this weekend after failing to practice Wednesday or Thursday, Gibbs and Reynolds may have the best chances to suit up Sunday in Baltimore. Ultimately, the listings of all three running backs on Friday's practice report will be telling…read more

  • Present at practice

    Reynolds (hamstring/toe) returned to practice Thursday, Colton Pouncy of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Reynolds finished out Sunday's win over Tampa Bay as the Lions' main RB after David Montgomery left with a rib injury. Montgomery is now absent from practice for a second straight day, while Reynolds and Jahmyr Gibbs (hamstring) both are participating. Reynolds could end up being a solid fantasy option this Sunday in Baltimore if he's able to play and neither Montgomery nor Gibbs suits up.

  • Tending to pair of injuries

    Reynolds was held out of Wednesday's walk-through practice due to hamstring and toe injuries.

    Analysis: With Jahmyr Gibbs (hamstring) sidelined for a second consecutive contest Sunday in Tampa Bay, Reynolds served as the Lions' top reserve running back until David Montgomery went down with a rib injury in the second quarter. The situation allowed Reynolds to rack up 12 touches for 43 yards from scrimmage on a 61 percent share of snaps. On Monday, head coach Dan Campbell revealed that Montgomery was in line to miss time, while Gibbs was trending in the right direction to return this Sunday at…read more

  • Takes over after Montgomery exits

    Reynolds rushed 10 times for 15 yards in Sunday's 20-6 win over Tampa Bay. He added two catches for 28 yards.

    Analysis: David Montgomery (ribs) exited the game in the second quarter while Jahmyr Gibbs (hamstring) was inactive for the second consecutive week. That left Reynolds to lead the backfield, and he found running room to be scarce, though Tampa Bay held Detroit to 1.8 yards per attempt on the ground overall. He also made a few key plays in the passing game, highlighted by a block on Amon-Ra St. Brown's touchdown just before halftime. While that won't help fantasy box scores, it could help keep Reynolds on…read more

  • Scores in fourth

    Reynolds rushed seven times for 52 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 42-24 win over the Panthers.

    Analysis: Reynolds served as Detroit's backup tailback with rookie first-rounder Jahmyr Gibbs (hamstring) sidelined. Although starter David Montgomery racked up another 125-plus scrimmage yards and a score from his 21 touches, Reynolds took advantage of his opportunities late, scoring from five yards during the fourth quarter. If Gibbs returns for Week 6's matchup versus the Bucs, Reynolds would likely be relegated to No. 3 running back duties, but his cameo Sunday at least proved his capability if…read more

  • No touches with Montgomery back

    Reynolds did not record a carry during Thursday's win over Green Bay.

    Analysis: Reynolds logged one offensive snap and only made an impact returning kickoffs on special teams with David Montgomery back to carry the rushing load. Especially after proving to be more than a Montgomery injury away from a notable role, Reynolds has returned to fantasy irrelevance for the time being.

  • Little production in larger role

    Reynolds rushed four times for 13 yards during Sunday's 20-6 win over Atlanta.

    Analysis: Reynolds ended up seeing 30 percent of the offensive snaps in the absence of David Montgomery (thigh) while Jahmyr Gibbs shouldered most of the rushing load. However, Detroit ended up working a third running back into the mix as well, with Zonovan Knight logging just as many rushing yards as Reynolds on one less carry and 13 fewer snaps. As it looks like Reynolds will not be a direct replacement for Montgomery, the former will be hard to trust even if Montgomery continues to miss time.

  • Steps in for Montgomery

    Reynolds rushed three times for seven yards while securing his only target for minus-2 yards during Sunday's 37-31 loss to Seattle.

    Analysis: Reynolds played only on special teams in the season opener but stepped in for 10 offensive snaps following David Montgomery's (thigh) exit to the locker room. While head coach Dan Campbell only labeled Montgomery as "day-to-day" in advance of a Week 3 showdown against Atlanta, Reynolds could handle some sort of role between the tackles if Montgomery misses time. Jahmyr Gibbs would figure to see a boost in snaps as well -- after the first-round rookie was held below 50 percent of the offensive…read more

  • No offensive snaps

    Reynolds did not log a snap on offense during Thursday's 21-20 win over the Chiefs.

    Analysis: Reynolds secured the No. 3 role at running back in the wake of Justin Jackson's retirement this summer. While he started the year totally contained to special teams as David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs shouldered the load, Reynolds may have contingent fantasy value in a strong Detroit offense should anything happen to either of the top two running backs.

  • Re-signs with Lions

    Reynolds signed with the Lions on Thursday, Colton Pouncy of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The Lions had only two RBs on their initial 53-man roster but now have Reynolds back on board as the No. 3 back. He doesn't figure to play many snaps Week 1 against Kansas City, considering Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery both made it through the preseason healthy.

  • Let go by Lions

    Reynolds was released by the Lions on Tuesday.

    Analysis: Detroit opted to keep only two running backs on its initial 53-man roster: Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery. Full back Jason Cabinda also made the team. Reynolds played well in the preseason, and the Kutztown product will likely get a chance to stick around on the practice squad to provide organizational depth in case Gibbs or Montgomery gets hurt.

  • Strengthens case for No. 3 role

    Reynolds played most of the first half in Friday's 26-17 win over Carolina, taking 11 carries for 41 yards and a touchdown and catching his lone target for a five-yard gain.

    Analysis: Reynolds played the vast majority of snaps with Teddy Bridgewater and the second-string offense, while Benny Snell and Devine Ozigbo mostly played after halftime with the third unit. Top backs Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery were rested, and it's hard to imagine Reynolds getting much work as the No. 3 RB if both guys ahead of him remain healthy for Week 1 at Kansas City on Thu., Sept. 7.

  • Hoping to lock down depth role

    Reynolds rushed the ball eight times for 13 yards in Saturday's 25-7 preseason loss to the Jaguars. He added four receptions on six targets for 29 yards.

    Analysis: With both Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery sitting out, Reynolds was the first back on the field for the Lions. He wasn't effective as a rusher but did manage to show his ability as a pass catcher. Reynolds will be looking to lock in the third spot on the running back depth chart for the remainder of the preseason.

  • Joined by Gibbs

    Reynolds has been joined on the depth chart by rookie first-rounder Jahmyr Gibbs following the 2023 NFL Draft, Scott Thompson of Fox News reports.

    Analysis: Reynolds ended last season stuck behind D'Andre Swift and Jamaal Williams on the depth chart, but he now finds himself behind even bigger investments at running back in Gibbs and David Montgomery. While Reynolds at least has the inside track to the No. 3 role now that Justin Jackson is looking for a new opportunity, such a role only has fantasy value as a modest insurance policy in deep leagues.

  • Signs new deal with Detroit

    Reynolds and the Lions agreed to a contract Monday.

    Analysis: The exact details of the deal are unknown, but Reynolds will be returning to Detroit for a third season in 2023. The running back appeared in nine games with the Lions last season, recording 102 rushing yards on 23 carries while also reeling in nine catches for 116 yards. With D'Andre Swift and Jamaal Williams both likely to still be on the team next season, there isn't a clear path for Reynolds to see an increase in usage.

  • Totals 218 yards in 2022

    Reynolds rushed 23 times for 102 yards while catching nine of 10 targets for 116 yards over nine games in 2022.

    Analysis: Reynolds opened the year as the No. 3 running back behind D'Andre Swift and Jamaal Williams, but he couldn't stay healthy and eventually fell behind Justin Jackson on the depth chart as well. While Reynolds is now set to hit free agency at the end of the league year, it's possible he could return to a more prominent role for the Lions in 2023 considering both Williams and Jackson are also on expiring contracts.

  • Listed as inactive

    Reynolds (coach's decision) will be inactive for Saturday's game against the Panthers.

    Analysis: With D'Andre Swift, Jamaal Williams and Justin Jackson ahead of him on the depth chart and healthy, Reynolds will be the odd-man-out Saturday. The 26-year-old has suited up for six games this season, but has not suited up since Week 8.

  • Won't suit up Sunday

    Reynolds (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against the Jets.

    Analysis: Reynolds was activated off injured reserve Saturday, but he'll remain sidelined for at least one more contest while working his way back from a rib injury. Justin Jackson, who was listed as questionable due to an illness, is active and figures to continue serving as the No. 3 running back behind D'Andre Swift and Jamaal Williams.

  • Activated off injured reserve

    Reynolds (ribs) was activated off injured reserve Saturday, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com reports.

    Analysis: Reynolds traveled with the team to New York for Sunday's matchup against the Jets and will presumably be active following a five-game absence due to a knee injury. He opened the season as the No. 3 running back behind Jamaal Williams and D'Andre Swift, but Justin Jackson has thrived in that role of late. It's unclear what Reynolds' role will be in Week 15 if he's deemed available, but he's unlikely to garner a large enough role to crack fantasy relevancy.

  • Returns to practice

    Reynolds (ribs) was designated to return from injured reserve Thursday, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    Analysis: Reynolds suffered the injury in Week 9's win over the Packers and was placed on IR on Nov. 9. He now has a 21-day window to either be added back to the active roster or revert to IR for the remainder of the season. Before suffering the injury, Reynolds operated as the team's No. 3 running back, a role that Justin Jackson has since occupied.

  • Heads to IR

    Detroit placed Reynolds (ribs) on injured reserve Wednesday.

    Analysis: Reynolds was forced out of Sunday's win over Green Bay due to the rib injury and will now be required to miss at least the Lions' next four games with his move to IR. His absence should open up even more opportunities for Justin Jackson as the Lions' No. 3 back behind D'Andre Swift and Jamaal Williams.

  • Downgraded to out

    Reynolds (ribs) was ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Packers.

    Analysis: Reynolds will not be able to return after being forced out with a rib injury in the first half against Green Bay. The 26-year-old played a minor role in Detroit's offense over the first seven games, and his next chance to suit up will come versus the Bears on Sunday, Nov. 13.

  • Questionable to return

    Reynolds is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Packers with a rib injury.

    Analysis: Reynolds did not record a carry before exiting in the first half against Green Bay, though the nature and severity of this issue are still unknown. The 26-year-old rushed 23 times for 102 yards and caught nine passes (on 10 targets) for 116 yards as the Lions' third-string running back over the first seven games of the season. With Reynolds sidelined, expect Justin Jackson to take on a larger role behind D'Andre Swift and Jamaal Williams in this contest.

  • Tiny role in Swift's return

    Reynolds rushed twice for seven yards and was not able to secure his lone target during Sunday's loss to the Dolphins.

    Analysis: With D'Andre Swift back in the fold, Reynolds saw his second-lowest snap share of the season while Swift and Jamaal Williams handled the near entirety of the rushing workload. Unless one of those two misses time again, Reynolds' offensive role should remain miniscule.

  • Totals 92 yards

    Reynolds rushed six times for 24 yards while catching three of three targets for 68 yards during Sunday's 29-0 loss to New England.

    Analysis: Reynolds was more efficient on the ground than the box score implies, considering he was dropped for a seven-yard loss at one point, and he ultimately performed well as a change-of-pace option behind Jamaal Williams in the absence of D'Andre Swift (shoulder). However, the Lions didn't spend much time in Patriots territory, leaving no realistic scoring opportunities for anyone in the Detroit backfield. With Swift expected to return to the field after a Week 6 bye, Reynolds should revert to his…read more

  • Small role in Swift's absence

    Reynolds rushed twice for 30 yards while securing his only target for 12 yards during Sunday's 48-45 loss to Seattle.

    Analysis: Reynolds logged a third of the offensive snaps in the absence of D'Andre Swift (shoulder) but handled fewer touches than Justin Jackson, who saw a fraction of the playing time that Reynolds did. Meanwhile, Jamaal Williams logged half the snaps and carried nearly the entire rushing load for a second straight game. It's fair to expect a similar distribution of work in Week 5 against New England.

  • Seven touches while spelling Swift

    Reynolds rushed six times for 13 yards while securing his only target for five yards during Sunday's 28-24 loss to Minnesota.

    Analysis: Reynolds saw increased offensive snaps and touches for a second consecutive week as D'Andre Swift now tends to a shoulder injury in addition to his ankle woes. With Swift possibly set to miss multiple games, Reynolds could see even more involvement in Week 4 against the Seahawks as the potential No. 2 running back behind Jamaal Williams.

  • Four touches against former team

    Reynolds rushed three times for 16 yards while securing his only target for 13 yards during Sunday's 36-27 win over Washington.

    Analysis: After being contained to special teams in the season opener, Reynolds saw some modest run, possibly because of D'Andre Swift's reported ankle sprain. He was efficient in doing so, but he didn't see nearly enough playing time behind Swift and Jamaal Williams to have a chance at fantasy relevance.

  • No offensive snaps

    Reynolds did not log any offensive snaps during Sunday's 38-35 loss to the Eagles.

    Analysis: Reynolds is clearly the third option at running back behind D'Andre Swift and Jamaal Williams. Barring injuries, he doesn't figure to see much, if any, playing time most weeks.

  • Plays into fourth quarter

    Reynolds rushed six times for 31 yards while catching two of three targets for 13 yards during Sunday's 19-9 loss to the Steelers.

    Analysis: Considering Reynolds was the presumptive favorite for the No. 3 role at running back for most of the preseason, it was surprising to see him playing into the fourth quarter on both offense and special teams Sunday. Meanwhile, Justin Jackson totaled 83 yards on 10 touches and may be a making a claim for his job. While it's possible that both players make the roster, there's no certainty that Detroit will keep five running backs on the roster given that Godwin Igwebuike seems likely to stick…read more

    Reynolds rushed seven times for 37 yards and caught his only target for five yards in Saturday's 27-26 preseason win over the Colts.

    Analysis: Each of Reynolds, Justin Jackson, Godwin Igwebuike and Jermar Jefferson got seven carries in this game, as Detroit got an extended look at each of the four running backs competing for the third spot on the depth chart behind D'Andre Swift and Jamaal Williams. Reynolds is leading that competition, according to Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site, but Jackson could be closing the gap after churning out 54 yards on his seven attempts Saturday. Both Reynolds and Jackson will likely get…read more

  • Three carries in season finale

    Reynolds rushed three times for two yards during Sunday's 37-30 win over Green Bay.

    Analysis: Reynolds was in the starting lineup with fellow tailback D'Andre Swift but both ended up finishing well behind Jamaal Williams in carries. Making matters worse for Reynolds is that he only went on to log five more offensive snaps en route to a poor stat line. He'll thus finish the season with 55 carries for 230 rushing yards while catching seven of eight targets for 52 receiving yards despite not joining the active roster until Week 14. While he should remain in a complementary role next season…read more

  • Quiet in No. 3 role

    Reynolds rushed four times for four yards during Sunday's 51-29 loss to Seattle.

    Analysis: Reynolds got a handful of touches throughout the game, but the return of D'Andre Swift predictably pushed Reynolds into a tertiary role. With no injuries to report for either of Swift or Jamaal Williams, Reynolds presumably will remain that way Week 18 against Green Bay.

    Reynolds is expected to drop to third on the depth chart for Sunday's game against the Seahawks with lead back D'Andre Swift (shoulder) making his return to the lineup following a four-game absence, Justin Rogers of The Detroit News reports.

    Analysis: After serving as Detroit's lead back Weeks 14 and 15, Reynolds moved into a more reduced role in the Week 16 loss to Atlanta with Jamaal Williams making his return from a two-game absence. Williams (19 carries, zero catches) and Reynolds (11 carries, three receptions) both picked up double-digit touches in the 20-16 loss while operating in a timeshare, but the addition of Swift to the backfield mix will cut into the workloads of both players in a significant way. Williams is the safer bet to…read more

  • Gets 14 touches in loss

    Reynolds rushed 11 times for 29 yards while catching three of four targets for 22 yards during Sunday's 20-16 loss to Atlanta.

    Analysis: Despite moving into a secondary role with Jamaal Williams back in action, Reynolds still saw a decent workload while easily topping the zero targets Williams saw in the passing game. However, not including a game-high 14 yard scamper by Williams, Detroit running backs collectively averaged 3.7 scoreless yards per carry as the offense initially struggled to do much with backup Tim Boyle under center. While the return of Jared Goff (COVID-19) could help open up the run game, Reynolds' Week 17…read more

  • Getting another chance with Swift out

    Reynolds and Jamaal Williams will serve as the Lions' primary running backs for Sunday's game in Atlanta, Tim Twentyman of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Reynolds received a majority share of the running back reps over the last two games with Williams on the reserve/COVID-19 list and D'Andre Swift in recovery mode from an AC joint sprain in his shoulder. Williams is back in action Sunday, while Swift will miss his fourth game in a row. It remains to be seen the breakdown of snaps between Reynolds and Williams, but the former notched 40 touches for 216 yards between Weeks 14 and 15.

  • Rewarded with roster spot

    The Lions signed Reynolds to the 53-man roster Monday, Doug Kyed of Pro Football Focus reports.

    Analysis: Perhaps more importantly, the transaction inks Reynolds with Detroit through 2022, a much-deserved development after the Kutztown product amassed 216 total yards in his last two appearances. D'Andre Swift (shoulder) and/or Jamaal Williams (illness) could be back in action for Week 16 against a Falcons defense that's proven susceptible to the run, but Reynolds appears to have played his way into the No. 3 backfield role at the very least.

  • Runs over Cardinals

    Reynolds rushed 26 times for 112 yards while catching his only target for five yards during Sunday's 30-12 win over Arizona.

    Analysis: With D'Andre Swift (shoulder) and Jamaal Williams (illness) sidelined again, Reynolds carried the load for Detroit while Jermar Jefferson (five carries for nine yards) spelled him on occasion. The Kutztown product now has 216 total yards over the past week and has quickly shown that the team might have made a mistake in cutting him in favor of Jefferson this fall. While it's possible that Swift and/or Williams could return in Week 16 against Atlanta, it otherwise seems like Reynolds could get a…read more

  • Jumps to active roster

    The Lions elevated Reynolds from the practice squad Saturday.

    Analysis: Meanwhile, Jamaal Williams (illness) wasn't among the Lions activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list, meaning he'll be sidelined for a second consecutive contest Sunday against the Cardinals. With D'Andre Swift (shoulder) also ruled out, Reynolds could be in line for a similar workload to the one he handled last Sunday in Denver, when he turned a 45 percent share of snaps into 13 touches for 99 yards from scrimmage. As for the rest of the Detroit backfield, Godwin Igwebuike notched eight…read more

  • Splitting first-team reps

    Reynolds and Jermar Jefferson took the bulk of the first-team reps at running back during Thursday's practice, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

    Analysis: Reynolds could be looking at another heightened workload this weekend with both of D'Andre Swift (shoulder) and Jamaal Williams (COVID-19) looking unlikely to play. However, with Jefferson further removed from having the flu as well as a thigh injury, his upside could be capped by a committee approach. There's also the risk that there aren't many carries to be split up in the first place if Detroit's weak offense struggles to extend drives against Arizona's fourth-ranked scoring defense this…read more

  • Surprise leading rusher

    Reynolds carried the ball 11 times for 83 yards and caught both his targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 38-10 loss to the Broncos.

    Analysis: Godwin Igwebuike and Jermar Jefferson were expected to lead the Detroit backfield in the absence of D'Andre Swift (shoulder) and Jamaal Williams (COVID-19), but instead it was Reynolds who emerged as the most effective rusher for the team just one day after being promoted from the practice squad. He came into Sunday with only two career touches in the NFL, both coming at the end of last season for the Jaguars, but the 25-year-old may have earned a permanent spot on the Lions' roster for the…read more

  • Elevated from practice squad

    Reynolds was promoted to the Lions' active roster Saturday for Week 14, Chris Burke of The Athletic reports

    Analysis: Reynolds and recent practice squad signee Rodney Smith will provide depth with starting running backs D'Andre Swift (shoulder) and Jamaal Williams (COVID-19 protocols) both out for Sunday's game against the Broncos. Detroit is very thin at running back and will likely lean on Godwin Igwebuike and Jermar Jefferson, who combined for seven carries last week against Minnesota.

  • Could be promoted

    Reynolds could find his way to the active roster Sunday against the Broncos, Justin Rogers of The Detroit News reports.

    Analysis: Reynolds last saw the field in 2020 with the Jaguars, but with D'Andre Swift (shoulder) out and Jamaal Williams placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday, the Lions are getting thin at running back. Even if Reynolds does suit up, his workload is likely to be limited as he'll still be behind Godwin Igwebuike and Jermar Jefferson on the running back depth chart.

  • Cut by Detroit

    Reynolds was let go by the Lions on Tuesday, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    Analysis: Reynolds was a feel-good storyline in Detroit given his impressive preseason production despite signing with the team the day before the exhibition opener. While his efforts ultimately weren't enough to convince the team to give him a roster spot, it wouldn't be a surprise if Reynolds were to get a chance on the practice squad.

  • Quiet finish to preseason

    Reynolds rushed four times for nine yards while catching one pass for 10 yards during Friday's preseason game against the Colts. He also gained 24 yards on one kickoff return.

    Analysis: After rushing for 87 yards with two scores in the first two exhibition games, Reynolds had a quiet finish to the preseason as Jermar Jefferson and Godwin Igwebuike carried the load for Detroit at running back. Considering Igwebuike was also more productive than Reynolds at kick returner, Reynolds will be a surprise to make the roster, but he may have shown enough to earn a spot on the practice squad.

  • Serious contender for roster spot

    The Lions plan to give Reynolds more reps on special teams in Friday's preseason finale as they assess whether to keep him on the final roster, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    Analysis: After reportedly having to introduce himself to teammates in the huddle during Detroit's preseason opener before rushing for 49 yards and a score, Reynolds again led the Lions in rushing while again finding the end zone in last weekend's preseason tilt against Pittsburgh. It's not clear if the 25-year-old could be threatening Jermar Jefferson for the No. 3 job at running back, but Reynolds may have a leg up on Dedrick Mills and Godwin Igwebuike for a possible No. 4 role, especially if he can…read more

  • Cut by Jaguars

    The Jaguars released Reynolds on Wednesday, John Reid of The Florida Times-Union reports.

    Analysis: Reynolds signed a reserve/future contract with the Jags back in January, but he was cut in advance of the new league year. With James Robinson (ankle) and Carlos Hyde under contract for the 2021 season, Reynolds wouldn't have seen much work on offense anyway. The 24-year-old will seek a depth role on the open market.

  • Remaining with Jags into 2021

    Reynolds agreed to a reserve/future contract with the Jaguars on Monday, John Shipley of SI.com reports.

    Analysis: Reynolds ended the campaign with two game appearances, collecting his only offensive work Week 16 against the Bears via a three-yard reception and a four-yard rush. The 24-year-old also suited up three times for Washington during 2019, but his involvement was restricted to special teams.

  • Bumped down to practice squad

    Reynolds reverted to the Jaguars' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

    Analysis: Reynolds registered two touches over three offensive snaps Sunday during a loss to the Bears, collecting four yards on his lone rush attempt while hauling in a Mike Glennon pass for a three-yard gain. A Week 16 appearance marked Reynolds' second of the 2020 campaign, and he could get another opportunity in the season finale against Indianapolis given that No. 1 back James Robinson (ankle) is currently dealing with an injury.

    Analysis: Reynolds made his Jaguars debut back in Week 12 against the Browns, but he didn't play a snap on offense. With James Robinson (ankle) expected to sit out, Reynolds could garner some offensive snaps this Sunday against the Bears. However, he's still in a crowded backfield along with Dare Ogunbowale, Devine Ozigbo and Nathan Cottrell.

    The Jaguars signed Reynolds to the active roster Saturday.

    Analysis: Chris Thompson (back) remains on IR, and Dare Ogunbowale (hand) is considered questionable. Reynolds will add depth in the backfield as a result. Rookie James Robinson is still the clear bell cow, so Reynolds' duties will be reserved for special teams.

    The Falcons waived Reynolds on Friday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

    Analysis: Reynolds had an uphill battle to make the roster anyway, and it looks like the Falcons will stick with Todd Gurley, Brian Hill, Ito Smith and Qadree Ollison. The 24-year-old could be a practice-squad candidate.

  • Back with Falcons

    Reynolds re-signed with the Falcons after being waived by the team Aug. 7, D. Orlando Ledbetter of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

    Analysis: As Atlanta curtails Todd Gurley's training camp workload to keep him near 15-to-25 touches per game during the regular season, it makes sense that the team would bring in a familiar face in Reynolds. The 24-year-old joined the Falcons' practice squad last December, and he offers ready familiarity with Dirk Koetter's offense. As Qadree Ollison (undisclosed) continues to miss time, Reynolds adds developmental depth to the backup running back committee.

    Analysis: The Redskins cut Reynolds from their 53-man roster a week ago, and he'll get another shot with the Falcons.
