At the end of Reid’s rookie season in 2018, he had wrist surgery and spent much of the offseason with a cast on his wrist, even though he shot free throws at a Houston Rockets game and also shagged a fly ball in J.J. Watt’s celebrity softball game.
Reid collected 78 tackles, a tackle for loss, two interceptions, five pass breakups, and a fumble recovery in his 15 games played for the Texans, all of which he started. The only game he missed was Week 12’s rematch with the Indianapolis Colts on Thursday Night Football as Reid had a concussion and couldn’t get out of the protocol on such a short week.
